	9:08am Joe McG: @duke: Not even going to try! Silly time now.
	👻 9:10am 12539: Have you been listening to efd's summer dance party, Joe?
	9:10am fleep: Ah ah ah ah good morning, Joe.
	9:10am Mike East: Hey all! Cool Fuse News piece on WFMU: www.fuse.tv... when I signed off last night at 1am, there was a dance party going on, and now I come back and the grooves are still happnin! I don't know if my booty can take all this shaking!
	9:12am Joe McG: @12539: Yes, I couldn't get enough of that disco stuff! Little continuation this morning.... Hey, fleep and Mike!

	9:17am doca: oh since yesterday wfmu's been giving me the dancing bug. first it was duane, then efd, now joe mcgasko...
	9:18am KevinfromBayRidge: Hello McGaskgoers, Glad to be back in the NY Metro & terrestrial surface noise! Mr Fantasy please make us happy- Still have wet eyes from Meghan!
	9:18am glenn: we're the mc gaskets.
	9:19am glenn: hey. mc gasket. that's you, joe.
	9:20am Joe McG: Hey, all! I'm here to kill your dance fever. @glenn: I never got mc gasket before. A gasket is important to making the thing run, right? I'll take it!
	👻 9:23am Brian in UK: A gasket is the vital seal between two castings to stop any seepage or weeping. I think we had the latter in the last programme. You are just the job, Joe.
	9:23am glenn: gaskets and bearings make the world go around. in a slightly elliptical fashion.
	👻 9:23am Brian in UK: Thank Rudy, it's Thursday.
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Cam on, glenn.
	9:24am KevinfromBayRidge: Well put Brian!
	9:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! A time for laughter, a time for tears. Now that you're all cried out, we must dance (or whatever Donna is doing on this record).
	9:26am Andrew Waterloo: I think she's wearing curlers and reading a romance novel.
	9:27am trish: Gravity spins this particular axial tilt.
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: She is having her back rubbed with a gasket!
	9:29am Joe McG: Pete's or Giorgio's?
	9:32am Andrew Waterloo: it's a romance novel about a french mechanic.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Both. Ref Lionel. Rhyming slang over here for p.... is Hampton Wick. Just to keep up the high intellectual standard.
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: This is 12" of pleasure.
	9:35am glenn: ummmm brian.....
	9:36am Joe McG: Sexy sax alert!
	9:37am northguineahills: Ok, this is getting rather silly :)
	9:38am Davee: This show is getting sappy.
	9:38am fleep: French chick has a limited vocabulary.
	9:38am Davee: Too many bodily fluids on FMU this morning!
	9:39am fleep: Hence the need for gaskets.
	9:39am Davee: I'd like to get a copy of the lyrics to this song!
	9:39am Joe McG: @ngh: Ha! I thought piling this one on top of the last one might push up the gag-o-meter.
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Is 'No comment' a comment?
	9:41am Davee: Oui, oui!
	9:41am Davee: Lawrence?
	9:42am manfred: J'aime l'heure de "je t'aime."
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Cigarette anyone?
	9:44am Marmalade Kitty: I love you! Joe
	9:45am common: still got a soft spot for thank god it's friday.
	9:48am Joe McG: Hi, Kitty! :) Obvious segueway about to ensue.
	9:50am tonyb: ...thanks!...
	9:51am Cecile: you should play me and you and a dog named boo. No, you shouldn't. Please don't!
	9:51am common: that's good dj-ing!
	9:52am Joe McG: @Cecile: Meghan took care of that this morning. Hey, common!
	9:53am Cecile: hahahahaahah, joe.
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Bass sounds familar wonder if it has been used before?
	9:53am Cecile: you got any singers and players?
	10:00am Cecile: this is awesome. I love funky creation stories.
	10:00am Cecile: I want to start a band called the Creeping Thangs.
	10:03am Joe McG: I like it. Double bill with the Creeping Pumpkins.
	10:03am glenn: or the creeping thongs. right girls?
	10:04am Cecile: Oh, Glenn.
	10:07am Cecile: hahahahaah
	10:12am Erella: Ken, This Vem Kan Sagla, is important to me. It means " Who can sail without wind, who can row without oars, who can say goodbye to a friend without shedding a tear, I can sail without wind, I can row without oars, but I will never be able to say goodbye to a friend without shedding a tear.
	10:13am Erella: When I was a kid, I was friends with a Swedish family and learned the words to this in Swedish phonetically. I still know the words even though we just hear it/ sing it at funerals now.
	10:13am Cecile: that's beautiful, erella.
	10:14am Joe McG: That's pretty, Erella. Thanks for the translation.
	10:14am Erella: Oh, sorry, it is Joe filling in. I just turned on the radio and heard that one song.
	10:15am Joe McG: Nope, not filling in. Here every Thursday! :) Ken is our Wednesday 9 a.m. lynchpin.
	10:16am Erella: So freaky, I have never heard a recorded version of that song before. I just knew the words. Ah. On my radio the face I see, the image, is one I associate with ken.
	10:17am common: hello joe...sorry, late response. work's for jerks!
	10:18am Joe McG: I sometimes see Ken's face on my radio, too!
	10:18am Davee: Where's Bert?
	10:18am Erella: Yeah, I am a little confused, I suppose. I haven't heard a recording of that song before. Hey where did you you find it?
	10:18am Cecile: This is why I listen to WFMU, all the invisible connections.
	10:18am Carmichael: Good morning Guiseppe and all the others.
	10:19am Cecile: Bert is now Barbara. He was trapped in a female muppet's body. Of course the process is far easier than for us humans.
	10:19am Cecile: change his eyes, new hair and presto!
	10:20am Cecile: Barbara is now at peace with herself
	10:20am Joe McG: @Erella: It's on a nice new comp of Norwegian Christian jazz from the group That's Why. I like it a lot, although Norwegian Christian jazz isn't exactly in heavy rotation. @Carmichael: Hey, Carm, welcome!
	10:21am Cecile: hola, Carm!
	10:22am Carmichael: Hey Cecile. Started my day with a dead battery. It's all downhill from here.
	10:23am Matt from Springfield: Good morning to ya, Joe and Surface Noiseheads!
	10:24am Cecile: Oh, dear, don't think that way!
	10:24am trish: That was beautiful. Canaan Land on 45.
	10:24am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, nice to see you!
	10:25am Cecile: I know nothing of this Big John Hamilton, and I listen to a lot of soul. Must check him out.
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Hey Carmichael, sorry to hear about the motor. Hope your gaskets are in order.
	10:27am Cecile: YAH
	10:27am Carmichael: It's under warranty, Brian. The AAA guy will be out in just a skosh to pop in a new one.
	10:27am Joe McG: @Cecile: He's all over this Minaret comp. Good stuff!
	10:28am Cecile: I will have to find it. Serious heavyweight, as good as Percy Sledge or Solomon Burke, for sure.
	10:29am Cecile: and Tony Joe White, Tom T. Hall and Jerry Reed I loved when I was a kid. Great storytellers.
	10:30am Davee: Lawrence?
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: Carmichael, it's that first turn of the key when you know how the next few hours are going to end up. Deep joy.
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Jack Gold?
	10:31am Cecile: DELL-eh-nee
	10:37am Joe McG: Hard to say for people not from the South like this Yankee.
	10:38am fleep: Legs look like scrambled eggs??
	10:39am northguineahills: It still takes me 3-4 days after going home before my light drawl comes back.
	10:39am Joe McG: @fleep: Ha ha! What can he possibly mean?
	10:39am Cecile: I practically grew up in the middle of Lake Superior. But then again, they were playing the TV variety shows when I was growing up, and I heard the name said a lot.
	10:39am Lonious Monk: what i love with wfmu is : i keep falling on amazing shows, everyday, everytime. wfmu is a gold mine. Bonjour Joe ! Bonjour listeners. This show is amazing.
	10:40am pacific standard simon: G'mornin', Joe. It's a gloriously wet day in the Pacific Northwest.
	10:40am Cecile: He slurred "see it on your face" into something else.
	10:41am Joe McG: Bon jour, Lonious! Thanks! Hey, PS Simon! Hello to the PNW.
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: 'Lonious my old friend Step on in and let me take your hand So glad that you're here again For one more time.....' Apologies to Steely Dan
	10:44am Matt from Springfield: Thanks to fleep! Grilling corn is not only fun, but tasty! And I made one ear coated with mayo -- WOW. Wowwie wow wow wow wow. Wow.
	10:44am Cecile: Wow. this is a find. I never saw the movie, just read the book
	10:45am Matt F: This needs lyrics! "I love you Serpico, you're not on the take, doot doot doot..."
	10:45am Matt from Springfield: Hey PSS! It's been damp and misty in the DC area as well the past couple days.
	10:46am Joe McG: @Matt: You've GOT to write and record that.
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Have to say Mikis Theodorakis is a hero of mine. After the way he was treated back in '67 in Greece by the colonels.
	10:47am bpdun88: Joe: Volunteer/listener Brian here. Sorry I can't come in today--but I do get to listen to the show while I work. Well done sir!
	10:48am Cecile: Brian, he is a great composer and a brave guy. People forget how bad Greece was around that time.
	10:48am Cecile: Man, Greg Kihn is always pretty solid.
	10:49am northguineahills: I've been hooked to grilled corn Mexican style. Take out most the silk, replace the husk and grill. Slather in mayo and lime juice, and top w/ a salty chili powder. Finally, sprinkle corjtija cheese.
	10:49am pacific standard simon: @MattSpring - That would have gone down well with the country ribs I made last night.
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: Cecile 'Z' is a great film of that time. Costa-Gavros, I think?
	10:50am Cecile: I actually heard this on this weird AM radio station in my hometown.
	10:50am Cecile: Yup!
	10:51am pacific standard simon: Kihn = preferred interpreter of Springsteen.
	👻 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: What the? Greg Kihn has more than one song to his name? Nice to know that. Regular radio only plays one of his.
	10:52am Cecile: this is the first Squeeze song I really like since their first EP. Nice tune
	10:53am Cecile: He put out good solid albums in the mid-late 70s.
	10:53am cd tap: ngh: Mex corn sounds killer. must try.
	10:54am Joe McG: @bpdun: No prob, Brian! Glad you could tune in!
	10:55am northguineahills: that should be *cortija cheese
	10:55am bpdun88: Me too. Great show.
	10:55am Matt from Springfield: @PSS: Country ribs is tasty! I had chicken sausage on the other end of my grill.
	10:58am pacific standard simon: Sounds like last night's EFD show!
	10:58am northguineahills: Damnage, it's not close to lunch yet! stop!
	10:59am Cecile: I have to listen to that on archives. Class ran long last night.
	10:59am Davee: Yah man!
	10:59am Carmichael: I think I have Big Joe on some other comp.
	11:00am Joe McG: @PSS: I started that way today, too, if you are digging the disco jams.
	11:00am duke: Yah Sugar
	11:00am Marmalade Kitty: you can't all be hungry.. again!?
	11:00am Davee: Grumble, growl . . . .yes
	11:02am fleep: Let him finish a sentence!
	11:02am Davee: Get out the hankies
	11:03am ChrisB.: Conway seem to be phoning this one in...
	11:04am Carmichael: This song is overrun with CB radio interference.
	11:04am pacific standard simon: I was attracted by the Elvis and Tony Joe, and the need to wake up unnaturally early (for me).
	11:04am Erella: Chris B that is FUNNY.
	11:06am Andrew Waterloo: I remember the Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn infomercials.
	11:06am Cecile: District Constable?
	11:07am Cecile: It is how rap started. That and Santana drum breaks.
	11:09am northguineahills: Serpico was sent to the hospital that was across the street from the apt I lived in for 8 years. Of course it was decommissioned in 1982 and it was a homeless shelter by the time I lived across the way.
	11:09am coelacanth: Joe I just got here during Greg Kihn,but i'm having fun....And i always thought "DC" meant washington dc in that song. (regarding the u.s.influence on ja policy.)
	11:11am Cecile: They carved their name into someone's chest for an album cover in the 80s.
	11:11am duke: I used to run into Serpico in Chatham NY from time to time. I think he still lives in the area.
	11:15am Joe McG: @coelacanth: Maybe you're right! I just assumed he was talking about a cop.
	11:15am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yecch! I mean, cool!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: Elektra?
	11:19am Carmichael: The Austin Lounge Lizards do a great bluegrass cover of PF's Brain Damage.
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: You know it!
	11:20am Anon: Testing comments. Great song, btw.
	11:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Wonder what The Beatles thought of this version? They are plucking circles around them, I think.
	11:20am pacific standard simon: What a shapely set!
	11:23am Joe McG: Thanks, Anon. Test away. @PSS: I'm throwing shapes left and right.
	11:24am Dan B From Upstate: Joe, are you familiar with Hayseed Dixie?
	11:24am northguineahills: Wow, digging this set, Joe!
	11:25am Glenn m: what's up Joe!
	11:25am fleep: Leaves Elton in the dust.
	11:25am duke: This is a great version of Honky Cat. I like it much better than the EJ version.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Dan B: Am I ever! I have 3 CDs by them! Hey Glenn!
	11:26am northguineahills: "Like trying to drink whisky, from a bottle of wine." Challenge accepted!
	11:27am coelacanth: Joe McG -What Cecile said makes sense too...(I should know it in my head by now) So...Is this the excellent covers set?
	11:28am Jeff: Even though it's in a completely different style, that bluegrass "I've Just Seen a Face" triggered a sudden recollection of those Big Daddy records in the early '80s (on Rhino, I think). Like the eponymous one and "Meanwhile...Back In The States".
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Think I have a cold coming on and I was bought some Jim Beam Rye for Fathers Day, hard to find over here as most people prefer the subtle shades of Scottish whisky. Might have to take a snifter or two later. Purely medicinal you understand.
	11:32am pacific standard simon: @Jeff - You know they have a new one coming out, right?
	11:34am Joe McG: @Jeff: I'm tempted to play another version of that song! Dillards do it, too.
	11:34am trish: @ Brian No Canadian Club in the UK ??
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Papa Nes, nice.
	11:34am pacific standard simon: The NEZ!
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: @trish, yes but I do like JB. Lots of bourbon.
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: I was first introduced to Mr Beam around 1970 by a guy in the US Navy, he got it from the PX at a silly price. You can only get it here at specialist shops believe it or not.
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Clarence still miss him.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Belting set as ever, Joe and it's only 02:40.
	11:40am Marmalade Kitty: Great show, Joe!
	11:41am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian and Kitty. Having so much fun playing these records.
	11:43am Uncle Michael: You're killing it this morning, Joe.
	11:45am trish: @Brian in UK : is it good with gingerale?
	11:46am Dan B From Upstate: Excellent set.
	11:49am glenn: kim jong un is a REALLY bad boyfriend. news.nationalpost.com...
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: trish I would not consider mixing it. Our Scottish friends do like to add a little water to their own whisky at times. Not my cup of tea so to speak. My wife just made some wonderful Rhubarb & Vanilla jam as well as Rhubarb & Ginger jam.
	11:50am Erella: Joe, I am really enjoying every single thing you've played. Thank you.
	11:52am pacific standard simon: My local tea & yarn shop sells marmalade made with Jameson -- tempting.
	11:52am trish: @Brian : Both jams sound yum. I know a pear+ginger and strawberry+rhubarb. Those combos sound very tasty. Mm.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: @glenn '...his father made him break it off'. I love innuendo.
	11:52am Joe McG: @Erella: Glad you tuned in, Erella. Next week, if I know me, the show will be totally different, but I hope you'll come back again.
	11:52am Uncle Michael: Porn and bibles. A bad combination.
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: @simon I am a bit of a purist regarding marmalade, just Seville oranges. Heaven sent.
	11:55am pacific standard simon: I dunno -- it's kind of tempting to paste in illustrations of all the fornications going on in those Gideons.
	11:55am Joe McG: I hate to say it, but the wildflower marmalade from IKEA is pretty tasty.
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: @trish root ginger is steeped in the rhubarb overnight, then removed and crystallised ginger added at the end.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Joe, brilliant!
	11:56am glenn: as is their elderflower syrup.
	11:57am glenn: everything else tastes like crap though, especially the billy bookcase.
	11:57am Cecile: Is the blues a code for something else?
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Now elderflower cordial is wonderful, homemade ofcourse!!
	11:57am pacific standard simon: I am an unashamed tinkerer in all things.
	11:57am trish: PB+J lunch bells ring in my stomach.
	11:58am Joe McG: I'm about to hit the highway, friends. I hope you all have a great weekend, and thanks for listening!
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: I made a nice stew with the leftover screws and bolts.
	11:58am fleep: Thanks, Joe! A fine start to the day.
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:58am still b/p: I gave a full jar of Apple Pie Jam away to the neighbors last week, and my mouth and I have lived in a mournful place ever since.
	11:59am pacific standard simon: Thank you for waking me up in a good mood, Joe.
	11:59am trish: wfmu jam exchange?
	👻 12:00pm Brian in UK: If only, trish.
	12:00pm Jeff: @pss: I just read about the Big Daddy kickstarter campaign. Very interesting.
	5:02pm KP: I will hit highway myself, with this in tow. THanks.

	👻 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: We're still putting the tissues away after Meghan's sign off.
	9:05am Joe McG: After the intensity of that show, I'm going to be the light relief, I hope!
	9:07am Dan B From Upstate: For some reason, I can't stop thinking of Uncle Jack (Martin Short) from Arrested Development.
	9:08am duke: Tough act to follow.
	9:08am Joe McG: @duke: Not even going to try! Silly time now.
	👻 9:10am 12539: Have you been listening to efd's summer dance party, Joe?
	9:10am fleep: Ah ah ah ah good morning, Joe.
	9:10am Mike East: Hey all! Cool Fuse News piece on WFMU: www.fuse.tv... when I signed off last night at 1am, there was a dance party going on, and now I come back and the grooves are still happnin! I don't know if my booty can take all this shaking!
	9:12am Joe McG: @12539: Yes, I couldn't get enough of that disco stuff! Little continuation this morning.... Hey, fleep and Mike!

	9:18am KevinfromBayRidge: Hello McGaskgoers, Glad to be back in the NY Metro & terrestrial surface noise! Mr Fantasy please make us happy- Still have wet eyes from Meghan!
	9:18am glenn: we're the mc gaskets.
	9:19am glenn: hey. mc gasket. that's you, joe.
	9:20am Joe McG: Hey, all! I'm here to kill your dance fever. @glenn: I never got mc gasket before. A gasket is important to making the thing run, right? I'll take it!
	👻 9:23am Brian in UK: A gasket is the vital seal between two castings to stop any seepage or weeping. I think we had the latter in the last programme. You are just the job, Joe.
	9:23am glenn: gaskets and bearings make the world go around. in a slightly elliptical fashion.
	👻 9:23am Brian in UK: Thank Rudy, it's Thursday.
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Cam on, glenn.
	9:24am KevinfromBayRidge: Well put Brian!
	9:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! A time for laughter, a time for tears. Now that you're all cried out, we must dance (or whatever Donna is doing on this record).
	9:26am Andrew Waterloo: I think she's wearing curlers and reading a romance novel.
	9:27am trish: Gravity spins this particular axial tilt.
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: She is having her back rubbed with a gasket!
	9:29am Joe McG: Pete's or Giorgio's?
	9:32am Andrew Waterloo: it's a romance novel about a french mechanic.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Both. Ref Lionel. Rhyming slang over here for p.... is Hampton Wick. Just to keep up the high intellectual standard.
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: This is 12" of pleasure.
	9:35am glenn: ummmm brian.....
	9:36am Joe McG: Sexy sax alert!
	9:37am northguineahills: Ok, this is getting rather silly :)
	9:38am Davee: This show is getting sappy.
	9:38am fleep: French chick has a limited vocabulary.
	9:38am Davee: Too many bodily fluids on FMU this morning!
	9:39am fleep: Hence the need for gaskets.
	9:39am Davee: I'd like to get a copy of the lyrics to this song!
	9:39am Joe McG: @ngh: Ha! I thought piling this one on top of the last one might push up the gag-o-meter.
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Is 'No comment' a comment?
	9:41am Davee: Oui, oui!
	9:41am Davee: Lawrence?
	9:42am manfred: J'aime l'heure de "je t'aime."

	9:50am tonyb: ...thanks!...
	9:51am Cecile: you should play me and you and a dog named boo. No, you shouldn't. Please don't!
	9:51am common: that's good dj-ing!
	9:52am Joe McG: @Cecile: Meghan took care of that this morning. Hey, common!
	9:53am Cecile: hahahahaahah, joe.
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Bass sounds familar wonder if it has been used before?
	9:53am Cecile: you got any singers and players?
	10:00am Cecile: this is awesome. I love funky creation stories.
	10:00am Cecile: I want to start a band called the Creeping Thangs.
	10:03am Joe McG: I like it. Double bill with the Creeping Pumpkins.
	10:03am glenn: or the creeping thongs. right girls?
	10:04am Cecile: Oh, Glenn.
	10:07am Cecile: hahahahaah
	10:12am Erella: Ken, This Vem Kan Sagla, is important to me. It means " Who can sail without wind, who can row without oars, who can say goodbye to a friend without shedding a tear, I can sail without wind, I can row without oars, but I will never be able to say goodbye to a friend without shedding a tear.
	10:13am Erella: When I was a kid, I was friends with a Swedish family and learned the words to this in Swedish phonetically. I still know the words even though we just hear it/ sing it at funerals now.
	10:13am Cecile: that's beautiful, erella.
	10:14am Joe McG: That's pretty, Erella. Thanks for the translation.
	10:14am Erella: Oh, sorry, it is Joe filling in. I just turned on the radio and heard that one song.
	10:15am Joe McG: Nope, not filling in. Here every Thursday! :) Ken is our Wednesday 9 a.m. lynchpin.
	10:16am Erella: So freaky, I have never heard a recorded version of that song before. I just knew the words. Ah. On my radio the face I see, the image, is one I associate with ken.
	10:17am common: hello joe...sorry, late response. work's for jerks!
	10:18am Joe McG: I sometimes see Ken's face on my radio, too!
	10:18am Davee: Where's Bert?
	10:18am Erella: Yeah, I am a little confused, I suppose. I haven't heard a recording of that song before. Hey where did you you find it?
	10:18am Cecile: This is why I listen to WFMU, all the invisible connections.
	10:18am Carmichael: Good morning Guiseppe and all the others.
	10:19am Cecile: Bert is now Barbara. He was trapped in a female muppet's body. Of course the process is far easier than for us humans.
	10:19am Cecile: change his eyes, new hair and presto!
	10:20am Cecile: Barbara is now at peace with herself
	10:20am Joe McG: @Erella: It's on a nice new comp of Norwegian Christian jazz from the group That's Why. I like it a lot, although Norwegian Christian jazz isn't exactly in heavy rotation. @Carmichael: Hey, Carm, welcome!
	10:21am Cecile: hola, Carm!
	10:22am Carmichael: Hey Cecile. Started my day with a dead battery. It's all downhill from here.
	10:23am Matt from Springfield: Good morning to ya, Joe and Surface Noiseheads!
	10:24am Cecile: Oh, dear, don't think that way!
	10:24am trish: That was beautiful. Canaan Land on 45.
	10:24am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, nice to see you!
	10:25am Cecile: I know nothing of this Big John Hamilton, and I listen to a lot of soul. Must check him out.
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Hey Carmichael, sorry to hear about the motor. Hope your gaskets are in order.
	10:27am Cecile: YAH
	10:27am Carmichael: It's under warranty, Brian. The AAA guy will be out in just a skosh to pop in a new one.
	10:27am Joe McG: @Cecile: He's all over this Minaret comp. Good stuff!
	10:28am Cecile: I will have to find it. Serious heavyweight, as good as Percy Sledge or Solomon Burke, for sure.
	10:29am Cecile: and Tony Joe White, Tom T. Hall and Jerry Reed I loved when I was a kid. Great storytellers.
	10:30am Davee: Lawrence?
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: Carmichael, it's that first turn of the key when you know how the next few hours are going to end up. Deep joy.
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Jack Gold?
	10:31am Cecile: DELL-eh-nee
	10:37am Joe McG: Hard to say for people not from the South like this Yankee.
	10:38am fleep: Legs look like scrambled eggs??
	10:39am northguineahills: It still takes me 3-4 days after going home before my light drawl comes back.
	10:39am Joe McG: @fleep: Ha ha! What can he possibly mean?
	10:39am Cecile: I practically grew up in the middle of Lake Superior. But then again, they were playing the TV variety shows when I was growing up, and I heard the name said a lot.
	10:39am Lonious Monk: what i love with wfmu is : i keep falling on amazing shows, everyday, everytime. wfmu is a gold mine. Bonjour Joe ! Bonjour listeners. This show is amazing.
	10:40am pacific standard simon: G'mornin', Joe. It's a gloriously wet day in the Pacific Northwest.
	10:40am Cecile: He slurred "see it on your face" into something else.
	10:41am Joe McG: Bon jour, Lonious! Thanks! Hey, PS Simon! Hello to the PNW.
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: 'Lonious my old friend Step on in and let me take your hand So glad that you're here again For one more time.....' Apologies to Steely Dan
	10:44am Matt from Springfield: Thanks to fleep! Grilling corn is not only fun, but tasty! And I made one ear coated with mayo -- WOW. Wowwie wow wow wow wow. Wow.
	10:44am Cecile: Wow. this is a find. I never saw the movie, just read the book
	10:45am Matt F: This needs lyrics! "I love you Serpico, you're not on the take, doot doot doot..."
	10:45am Matt from Springfield: Hey PSS! It's been damp and misty in the DC area as well the past couple days.
	10:46am Joe McG: @Matt: You've GOT to write and record that.
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Have to say Mikis Theodorakis is a hero of mine. After the way he was treated back in '67 in Greece by the colonels.
	10:47am bpdun88: Joe: Volunteer/listener Brian here. Sorry I can't come in today--but I do get to listen to the show while I work. Well done sir!
	10:48am Cecile: Brian, he is a great composer and a brave guy. People forget how bad Greece was around that time.
	10:48am Cecile: Man, Greg Kihn is always pretty solid.
	10:49am northguineahills: I've been hooked to grilled corn Mexican style. Take out most the silk, replace the husk and grill. Slather in mayo and lime juice, and top w/ a salty chili powder. Finally, sprinkle corjtija cheese.
	10:49am pacific standard simon: @MattSpring - That would have gone down well with the country ribs I made last night.
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: Cecile 'Z' is a great film of that time. Costa-Gavros, I think?
	10:50am Cecile: I actually heard this on this weird AM radio station in my hometown.
	10:50am Cecile: Yup!
	10:51am pacific standard simon: Kihn = preferred interpreter of Springsteen.
	👻 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: What the? Greg Kihn has more than one song to his name? Nice to know that. Regular radio only plays one of his.
	10:52am Cecile: this is the first Squeeze song I really like since their first EP. Nice tune
	10:53am Cecile: He put out good solid albums in the mid-late 70s.
	10:53am cd tap: ngh: Mex corn sounds killer. must try.
	10:54am Joe McG: @bpdun: No prob, Brian! Glad you could tune in!
	10:55am northguineahills: that should be *cortija cheese
	10:55am bpdun88: Me too. Great show.
	10:55am Matt from Springfield: @PSS: Country ribs is tasty! I had chicken sausage on the other end of my grill.
	10:58am pacific standard simon: Sounds like last night's EFD show!
	10:58am northguineahills: Damnage, it's not close to lunch yet! stop!
	10:59am Cecile: I have to listen to that on archives. Class ran long last night.
	10:59am Davee: Yah man!
	10:59am Carmichael: I think I have Big Joe on some other comp.
	11:00am Joe McG: @PSS: I started that way today, too, if you are digging the disco jams.
	11:00am duke: Yah Sugar
	11:00am Marmalade Kitty: you can't all be hungry.. again!?
	11:00am Davee: Grumble, growl . . . .yes
	11:02am fleep: Let him finish a sentence!
	11:02am Davee: Get out the hankies
	11:03am ChrisB.: Conway seem to be phoning this one in...
	11:04am Carmichael: This song is overrun with CB radio interference.
	11:04am pacific standard simon: I was attracted by the Elvis and Tony Joe, and the need to wake up unnaturally early (for me).
	11:04am Erella: Chris B that is FUNNY.
	11:06am Andrew Waterloo: I remember the Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn infomercials.
	11:06am Cecile: District Constable?
	11:07am Cecile: It is how rap started. That and Santana drum breaks.
	11:09am northguineahills: Serpico was sent to the hospital that was across the street from the apt I lived in for 8 years. Of course it was decommissioned in 1982 and it was a homeless shelter by the time I lived across the way.
	11:09am coelacanth: Joe I just got here during Greg Kihn,but i'm having fun....And i always thought "DC" meant washington dc in that song. (regarding the u.s.influence on ja policy.)
	11:11am Cecile: They carved their name into someone's chest for an album cover in the 80s.
	11:11am duke: I used to run into Serpico in Chatham NY from time to time. I think he still lives in the area.
	11:15am Joe McG: @coelacanth: Maybe you're right! I just assumed he was talking about a cop.
	11:15am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yecch! I mean, cool!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: Elektra?
	11:19am Carmichael: The Austin Lounge Lizards do a great bluegrass cover of PF's Brain Damage.
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: You know it!
	11:20am Anon: Testing comments. Great song, btw.
	11:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Wonder what The Beatles thought of this version? They are plucking circles around them, I think.
	11:20am pacific standard simon: What a shapely set!
	11:23am Joe McG: Thanks, Anon. Test away. @PSS: I'm throwing shapes left and right.
	11:24am Dan B From Upstate: Joe, are you familiar with Hayseed Dixie?
	11:24am northguineahills: Wow, digging this set, Joe!
	11:25am Glenn m: what's up Joe!
	11:25am fleep: Leaves Elton in the dust.
	11:25am duke: This is a great version of Honky Cat. I like it much better than the EJ version.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Dan B: Am I ever! I have 3 CDs by them! Hey Glenn!
	11:26am northguineahills: "Like trying to drink whisky, from a bottle of wine." Challenge accepted!
	11:27am coelacanth: Joe McG -What Cecile said makes sense too...(I should know it in my head by now) So...Is this the excellent covers set?
	11:28am Jeff: Even though it's in a completely different style, that bluegrass "I've Just Seen a Face" triggered a sudden recollection of those Big Daddy records in the early '80s (on Rhino, I think). Like the eponymous one and "Meanwhile...Back In The States".
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Think I have a cold coming on and I was bought some Jim Beam Rye for Fathers Day, hard to find over here as most people prefer the subtle shades of Scottish whisky. Might have to take a snifter or two later. Purely medicinal you understand.
	11:32am pacific standard simon: @Jeff - You know they have a new one coming out, right?
	11:34am Joe McG: @Jeff: I'm tempted to play another version of that song! Dillards do it, too.
	11:34am trish: @ Brian No Canadian Club in the UK ??
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Papa Nes, nice.
	11:34am pacific standard simon: The NEZ!
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: @trish, yes but I do like JB. Lots of bourbon.
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: I was first introduced to Mr Beam around 1970 by a guy in the US Navy, he got it from the PX at a silly price. You can only get it here at specialist shops believe it or not.
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Clarence still miss him.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Belting set as ever, Joe and it's only 02:40.
	11:40am Marmalade Kitty: Great show, Joe!
	11:41am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian and Kitty. Having so much fun playing these records.
	11:43am Uncle Michael: You're killing it this morning, Joe.
	11:45am trish: @Brian in UK : is it good with gingerale?
	11:46am Dan B From Upstate: Excellent set.
	11:49am glenn: kim jong un is a REALLY bad boyfriend. news.nationalpost.com...
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: trish I would not consider mixing it. Our Scottish friends do like to add a little water to their own whisky at times. Not my cup of tea so to speak. My wife just made some wonderful Rhubarb & Vanilla jam as well as Rhubarb & Ginger jam.
	11:50am Erella: Joe, I am really enjoying every single thing you've played. Thank you.
	11:52am pacific standard simon: My local tea & yarn shop sells marmalade made with Jameson -- tempting.
	11:52am trish: @Brian : Both jams sound yum. I know a pear+ginger and strawberry+rhubarb. Those combos sound very tasty. Mm.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: @glenn '...his father made him break it off'. I love innuendo.
	11:52am Joe McG: @Erella: Glad you tuned in, Erella. Next week, if I know me, the show will be totally different, but I hope you'll come back again.
	11:52am Uncle Michael: Porn and bibles. A bad combination.
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: @simon I am a bit of a purist regarding marmalade, just Seville oranges. Heaven sent.
	11:55am pacific standard simon: I dunno -- it's kind of tempting to paste in illustrations of all the fornications going on in those Gideons.
	11:55am Joe McG: I hate to say it, but the wildflower marmalade from IKEA is pretty tasty.
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: @trish root ginger is steeped in the rhubarb overnight, then removed and crystallised ginger added at the end.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Joe, brilliant!
	11:56am glenn: as is their elderflower syrup.
	11:57am glenn: everything else tastes like crap though, especially the billy bookcase.
	11:57am Cecile: Is the blues a code for something else?
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Now elderflower cordial is wonderful, homemade ofcourse!!
	11:57am pacific standard simon: I am an unashamed tinkerer in all things.
	11:57am trish: PB+J lunch bells ring in my stomach.
	11:58am Joe McG: I'm about to hit the highway, friends. I hope you all have a great weekend, and thanks for listening!
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: I made a nice stew with the leftover screws and bolts.
	11:58am fleep: Thanks, Joe! A fine start to the day.
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:58am still b/p: I gave a full jar of Apple Pie Jam away to the neighbors last week, and my mouth and I have lived in a mournful place ever since.
	11:59am pacific standard simon: Thank you for waking me up in a good mood, Joe.
	11:59am trish: wfmu jam exchange?
	👻 12:00pm Brian in UK: If only, trish.
	12:00pm Jeff: @pss: I just read about the Big Daddy kickstarter campaign. Very interesting.
	5:02pm KP: I will hit highway myself, with this in tow. THanks.
