	9:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I figure $15/month might actually pay for my stream/server use - if not the constant annoyance I provide : )) ...
	9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - man - if they'd only've played this great Funk all the time instead of all that bad disco for years & years...
	9:20am Parq: Ass-kicking mix, Joe.
	9:22am Joe McG: Hey, Parq, thanks, man. @RR: Oh you know, some bad disco is always around the corner when I'm in the chair!
	9:24am northguineahills: As long as the yip-yips get to yell "no! no! no! nonononononNONO!"
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - wull - it's for the Great Council to debate the difference between great Funk & bad Disco : ) ...
	9:26am Joe McG: @ngh: But then they say yes yes yes!
	9:27am Glenn M: Good morning joe!
	9:28am Davee: Hi Joe!
	9:28am Joe McG: Hey, Glenn!
	9:29am Joe McG: Hey, Davee!
	9:30am Davee: Any halloween tracks?
	9:32am Joe McG: @Davee: Yeah, maybe! I brought a few, so we'll see how things pan out.
	9:42am northguineahills: A new Julie Ruin.... Curious....
	9:42am SeanG: I'm diggin this! Howdy all!
	9:49am Cecile: Hum. How come I don't really like this, but if the Bats or Look Blue Go Purple did it, I'd be all over it?
	9:50am Jeezy: Ah great to be alive for another day!
	9:50am Cecile: Play that shitty early Ministry track "Every Day Is Halloween". It's hilarious.
	9:51am common: Hey Rev. Rabbit: how did you do the pay after payday thingy?
	9:51am Cecile: I think it's the slickness. It doesn't feel like someone is stumbling over the words.
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	9:54am Cecile: hahahaahahah Right after I find the Neo Boys on the free blogs, it gets reisssued. I remember it having a great cover.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's pretty deluxe-y: two discs with live and demos!
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Deluxey morning, y'allses.
	9:56am Cecile: Sounds awesome. You should check out the Mind & Matter disc, and not just because I worked with one of the singers's wives. Great early Jimmy Jam stuff.
	👻 9:56am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and the McGs. Mississippi did the vinyl version of the Neo Boys re-issue.
	10:00am Cecile: ugh, all the bloggy links don't show up any more. I should have grabbed that cover while I had the chance.
	10:01am Cecile: Oh, der. It was as different Portland woman band. I feel dopey. And i can't remember their name!
	10:01am herb.nyc: i like this, a bunch of women singing. there's something to be said for the feminine side (and by coincidence, i read a 1act play by DAVID IVES last night, called "the red address" & a macho businessman likes to put on women's clothes.). oh, great band name INSTANT MUSIC.
	10:01am Joe McG: Hey, tim! @Cecile: That's OK. Let us know later on if it comes to mind!
	👻 10:02am tim from champaign: Of course, Bryce had to put something completely awesome on his premium and I didn't order it. D'oh!
	10:02am johnforz: oh man, this mutazione comp is gold... start to finish
	10:04am Jeezy: No Lou tribute, Joe? Surprising...
	10:04am Cecile: FOUND IT. It was the Neo Boys: actsofvandalism.tumblr.com...
	10:05am Joe McG: @Jeezy: I figure everyone else has done that for me, but I may slip something on before the day is through. Not "Halloween Parade," though!
	10:05am Joe McG: Cool, Cecile!
	10:06am Jeezy: Although I suppose one could consider the entire show an indirect Lou tribute since much of this would probably not exist as is without him.. Ah right gotcha, Joe..
	10:09am Joe McG: Good point, Jeezy.
	10:09am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Great show Joe. Just star-clicked this Pikelet song.
	10:10am Cecile: You could play some Easybeats. Lou loved that band, from all accounts.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Jennique: I really like this record by Pikelet. My god, a new record I like, believe it or not.
	10:11am Green Mountain Man Mark: Hi
	10:14am Cecile: Ten of Lou's favorite songs from Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com...
	10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: An hour of doo-wop would do it, too. @GMM: Hi!
	10:14am Cecile: I know! I'm a sucker for that stuff myself.
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Mr Reed knew a good pop song when he heard one, lawds knows he wrote enough. Thursday on my mind.
	10:16am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I will check them out Joe. Just star-clicked this Semi-Colon song too. Something tells me this will be a star-studded playlist.
	10:17am Joe McG: Hey, Brian, and B/wad and all across the pond...
	10:18am Cecile: Brian, he was fortunate enough to have good musical taste + talent on his own.
	👻 10:18am tim from champaign: Alright! Feels like Saturday up in here. Excellent set, Joe.
	10:22am Joe McG: Thanks, tim, having a Saturday night kind of Thursday morning today.
	10:23am Cecile: I go out on Saturday night, I come home on Thursday morning.
	10:25am Meghan: Wow, this has a Tupelo Honey sound to it....
	10:26am Joe McG: @Meghan: I'm sure Van got the idea from the Impressions.
	10:28am Joe McG: But Van never tore up paper bags on his records, as far as I know.
	10:34am Mike Noble: speaking of wolves, here's a halloween request: "the werewolf song," either the original hurley/folkways version (1964) or the peter stampfel acapella.
	10:34am Cecile: yup! I hear em.
	10:35am Whosondephone: Trucks. Loud and clear!
	10:35am Green Mountain Man Mark: I hear the trucks. Also hear trucks here.
	10:36am Joe McG: You guys like the trucks or should I close the door? It must sound like I'm doing a remote from a loading dock.
	10:36am Guido (Cologne): I waited for that particular song among all the Lou & VU-memories ... even though he doesn't sing on it.
	10:36am northguineahills: I dig the trucks. wish they were louder.
	10:37am Green Mountain Man Mark: I like the trucks. Go outside and do that horn asking gesture with your fist and arm to make them blow the horn.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Guido: Early composition and a good one, I think!
	10:38am Michele: HI Joe!
	10:38am Cecile: Drongos! hahahahah That is an insult in Australian slang.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Michele: I'll do it at 11, I promise! :)
	10:39am Guido (Cologne): Great singe ... on of my all time faves ...... don't remember who avtually sang. Kind of "unknown Rightous Bothers" I guess.
	10:39am Ike: I know the trucks seem loud to the DJs in the studio, but to us, they're pretty quiet. Most of that ambient rattle and hum doesn't come through. I like it -- what little of it I can hear.
	10:42am Guido (Cologne): ... cover-version by Spiritualized is also worth checking. And The Sick Rose from Italy did a good version.
	10:42am Joe McG: @Ike: Great, a little ambient noise is good. @Cecile: It means "Idiots," doesn't it?
	10:43am Jim Price: Hi Joe! Good choice with the Drongos. Wonder how many DJs will play the Shaggs "it's Holloween" today?
	10:43am Joe McG: Hey, Jim! Oh, all of them, I think!
	10:44am Michele: I forgot about it, but thanks!
	10:44am Joe McG: @Michele: I get absurdly nervous!
	10:48am Cecile: It's a little worse. It's like using "dumbass" over here.
	10:49am Cecile: I got called on it when I was a kid using it every five minutes down there. hahahaha
	10:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'm going to start using it when I drive instead of my usual choice words.
	10:50am Cecile: hahahahahha, sounds good.
	10:51am Cecile: I have to say about the Specials. In my eyes, they might have been one of the greatest bands, period.
	10:51am Andrew Waterloo: when I drive I use the word "person" a lot.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Andrew: I'll try it, but it doesn't seem to have enough HEFT somehow.
	10:52am Parq: Ah, some cheesy disco. Delivering on your promise, I see. Or threat, depending on how one sees these things.
	10:53am Cecile: is she singing "Be Afraid?"
	10:53am Joe McG: @Parq: I spared you the disco with bagpipes earlier. I have it with me!
	10:54am Cecile: you have to play it joe. HAVE TO
	10:55am Cecile: ROY!
	10:56am Parq: Roy Wood makes it all okay.
	10:56am Joe McG: @Cecile: Maybe next week, but we'll see! Last time I played bagpipe records people thought I was Glen Jones.
	10:58am Cecile: CHICO!
	10:59am Parq: It's not your job, man.
	10:59am Cecile: I loved that show. It was stupid, but Freddie Prinze was so magnetic. I still think of him from time to time. What a loss.
	10:59am Cecile: sniffle
	11:00am Green Mountain Man Mark: two years ago the record fair was during halloween weekend. This year it will be around Thanksgiving, right? I can't come down this year.
	11:00am PKNY: I need more José in my life.
	11:02am Mike Noble: I agree, I'd like to go back to bed too.
	11:02am Cecile: Joe McG - ken plays bagpipe records, too.
	11:02am Michele: I heard the beep beep beep
	11:03am Parq: "Everyone watches TV. Ray Charles watches TV. He does -- he watches José Feliciano." -Chris Rush, ca. 1972
	11:03am Whosondephone: Thank you!
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign: Joe, if you were mistaken for Jonesy then you should play the bagpipes more often. I imagine Jonesy receives some "perks of the industry" as they say.
	11:03am Mike Noble: No Kill No Beep Beep
	11:04am Cecile: Yeah, if you don't count Ricardo Montalban as Khan. He shot himself.
	11:04am Whosondephone: You should use the trucks as sound bed alone.
	11:04am quinn: HI MIKE
	11:04am Cecile: That's why it's poignant. in his early 20s and that despairing.
	11:05am Cecile: Roy Wood wears his influences like a colorful poncho of sparkles.
	11:05am duke: Wasn't Desi Arnaz the first Hispanic TV star?
	11:05am Mike Noble: I think the "he" @Cecile is talking about is Freddie, not Montalban, right?
	11:06am Green Mountain Man Mark: Let's hear some jake brakes and some air brakes.
	11:06am Mike Noble: @quinn HI QUINNIE
	11:06am joe ray: Actually, Freddy Prinze shot himself in a fit of depression after his depression, in front of his manager
	11:06am Cecile: Yes, that's right, duke. yes, Freddie shot himself
	11:06am joe ray: after his divorce, I mean
	11:07am Cecile: his father's death is a big part of why Junior is virtually retired from acting. Ceasar Romero was on Batman!
	11:08am Cecile: which happened because he was on drugs. And also working so much he couldn't see straight.
	11:09am Green Mountain Man Mark: Let's hear the sounds of someone going postal over there.
	11:10am Cecile: OH. Can you play The Witch by the Sonics?
	11:11am Mike East: Ceasar Romero - when the Joker had a mustache, right? Morning all!
	11:11am Cecile: this is kickass, and i have to find it for my husband.
	11:12am Cecile: that's right, Mike East!
	11:12am Andrew Waterloo: the only Halloween thing I can think of right now is Ghastly Ones
	11:13am Cecile: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:14am Davee: Now there is a halloween song!!!!!
	11:15am duke: Haven't heard this in quite a while. Great Halloween song.
	11:15am Cecile: this is such a killer album, start to finish.
	11:17am Carmichael: Hey ay Joe, where you goin' with that record in your hand? Hi everyone.
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign: I'm quite fond of Lollipop Shoppe's "You Must Be A Witch".
	11:18am Cecile: hahaha, I knew this would draw out Carm.
	11:18am Green Mountain Man Mark: Iggy Pop's You're Wearing a Mask.
	11:20am northguineahills: Steeleye Span!
	11:21am sweet cheri: hiya joe, happy halloween!! i just digging your show.
	11:21am northguineahills: haven't heard this version of Tam Lin. sweet!
	11:21am Carmichael: It's my Span antenna, Cecile! I have no control over it. And Tam Lin's a great one too.
	11:22am Guido (Cologne): ... most internationally successful German single before Autobahn?
	11:24am Joe McG: @Guido: That may be true. I know it was Top 10 everywhere except here.
	11:25am Carmichael: Wow, this is her 1st album after leaving Mr. Fox. Haven't heard this since, well, '73.
	11:27am Kelly Jones: Happy Halloween Ghoul-y Joe McGasko. Today's Confession: I never read any other listener comments before interrupting with my own.
	11:27am Jeezy: Wow, Allmusic is not very charitable to Mr. Fry...
	👻 11:27am 12539: Joe, if you play the Eagles Witchy Woman I'll never forgive you.
	11:28am Carmichael: Wow, you're dredging up the UK country music scene quite nicely, Joe. Will there be some Home Service or Bothy Band?
	11:29am Joe McG: Hey, Kelly! You can interrupt anybody anytime you like! @12539: Don't worry!
	11:29am Joe McG: @Jeezy: Pshaw on Allmusic. This is a great album.
	11:30am Jeezy: Agreed Joe!
	11:30am dale: i was just listening to carolanne last night! winter people, specifically, and sapphire. i have bob and caroleanne's 'he came from the mountain' which was around 77 i think. don't know if it was ever released on cd
	11:30am Guido (Cologne): ... not in the US? Didn't know ...
	11:31am Cecile: Allmusic has its issues, for sure.
	11:31am Joe McG: @dale: Lucky! I don't have that one. Have all the Mr. Fox and this solo LP by Carolanne.
	11:31am Carmichael: Seriously, AllMusic dissed Mark Fry? They can suck it.
	11:33am Jeezy: They really are hit and miss, to say the least.
	11:33am KP: This Augers well.
	11:33am dale: just googled it - 71! much earlier than i thought. i bought it new in 77 anyway. maybe i can use my wife's awful ion turntable and rip it.
	11:34am Cecile: they are never updated that well either if it's not a big mainstream or cult band. RuPaul apparently did NOTHING after 2006 except for put out three more CDs.
	11:34am Magda: Hello People.
	11:34am Guido (Cologne): Has anyone seen Brian Auger Trinity recently on stage? His daughter on vocals, his son on drums. Good sense of humour. And they really grooooove !!
	11:35am Joe McG: @KP: Ouch! @Magda: Hi, Magda!
	11:35am Mike Noble: when dig AMG become useless for searching compositions? I was trying to search for other versions of Michael Hurley's "werewolf" earlier, and it was impossible.
	11:35am Joe McG: @dale: Nice!
	11:36am glenn: oh man. toronto's police chief has just confirmed they have the video of mayor rob ford smoking crack.
	11:36am Green Mountain Man Mark: Why was that witch in the Wizard of Ozz green? Did someone make her real mad and she turned into the incredible bitch?
	11:37am glenn: i'm doing my happy dance.
	11:37am Carmichael: Glenn, every nation has at least one Marion Barry.
	11:38am Cecile: Okay, this beats out my old fave, Mike Bloomfield and Steven Stills...
	11:38am Magda: @Joe: hello Joe. @Carmichael, if that's the case then does every nation have one Chris Christie?
	11:39am dale: actually quite a few posts on youtube from that album mr. deejay. probably cleaner than i would make. possibly grab them from there. they sound like ian and sylvia, actually. her voice didn't develop into that banshee quaver yet that makes her solo album so good.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Cecile: It was between this, that one, and Sam Gopal. I like this one best.
	11:39am KP: i went to see Eric Burden out in Hamptons. They were selling CDs before set. i asked the guy if they had the one with Brian Auger, recorded right there at Stephen Talkhouse. He saidno. i said are sure, ive seen it. No Brian Auger! Are you sure, YES NO BRIAN AUGER. So i bought a couple of others. The show started. The keyboard player was the salesman.
	11:39am Carmichael: Trivia tidbit: Brian Auger played the harpsichord on the Yardbirds' For Your Love.
	11:39am Andrew Waterloo: If Rob Ford wanted Meteoric popularity he'd where a tux and a top hat.
	11:39am Cecile: www.dailymotion.com...
	11:39am sweet cheri: joe, i got to fly out now..i enjoyed the ghoulish show. kp, if you go to to the halloween parade tonight i hope you enjoy yourself. HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!
	11:39am Whosondephone: This is great!
	11:41am KP: No parade cheri, but will have good time.
	11:42am Mike Noble: @Joe thanks for the reminder, I should play the song "witchipoo" on my show later (here in DC).
	11:44am Joe McG: Good trivia tidbit, Tim. @Mike Noble: Tell the people how they can hear your show! Can they?
	11:45am Eric: Lick the Witch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt_4YvccTDs
	11:47am V Priceless: really miss ol' Kev.
	11:48am Mike Noble: @Joe "community powered radio" in DC. a euphemism for "pirate," which also means it reaches like a 2-block radius in the hip part of town. no stream because we have terrible internet and are actually more terrified of soundexchange than we are of the feds.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Mike: The important thing is that you are making that 2-blocks the coolest neighborhood in D.C. Great to hear it, my friend.
	11:49am Carmichael: @Mike N: if you podcast it, they will come.
	11:49am northguineahills: Dayum, I love this Ayers....
	11:50am Mike Noble: @Carmichael and by they, do you mean SoundExchange, coming for their royalties? it really worries me!
	11:52am Mike Noble: @Carmichael: I do podcast actually, but I literally have single digit subscribers, so I don't think I have anything to worry about yet. Except worry about losing my sanity over constantly screaming into the vacuum. I'm also a half-dozen episodes behind on updating the thing.
	11:52am slugluv1313: WOW just tuning in -- "Decadence" so perfect -- "The only thing that's left to try/She says to live, I have to die"
	11:52am MattBelow: Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
	11:52am Carmichael: Oh, them. Since you're not making any money from playing them, I would think it's a moot point. But I'm on the other end of the nation behind a fake user name.
	11:53am Joe McG: Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye (Lou)
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign: The Velvet Whoosits? Wow, I've only read about them on the internet. FMU delivers again!
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: @Mike Noble. Was the Werewolf off of the Moray Eels? I loves Lonesome Cowboy Bill.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great Halloween and great weekend!
	11:56am Mike Noble: @Brian - the Rounders version with Pete's solo acapella, yeah. Hurley sang it himself on his Folkways debut (which I only learned about today) and on 1970's Armchair Boogie.
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe, played Loaded last night, strictly record. Cannot spill vinil.
	11:57am northguineahills: Doperiffic schizite, Joe, thanks!
	11:58am Whosondephone: Hell Yeah!!!
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Mike Noble: yet another RIP lou reed even though the man hated "RIP" when people died!
	11:59am Cecile: that was supposed to be his swipe at Nico, says WIkipedia
	10:00pm Holly in NC: Before I listen to the show, or read the comments - OMG panda. And I HATE the phrase "OMG anything" ;-)

	9:15am B/wad: Soulful autumn in London
	9:16am Joe McG: No problem, RRN63. If anyone else needs any pledge help, please let me know.
	9:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I figure $15/month might actually pay for my stream/server use - if not the constant annoyance I provide : )) ...
	9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - man - if they'd only've played this great Funk all the time instead of all that bad disco for years & years...
	9:20am Parq: Ass-kicking mix, Joe.
	9:22am Joe McG: Hey, Parq, thanks, man. @RR: Oh you know, some bad disco is always around the corner when I'm in the chair!
	9:24am northguineahills: As long as the yip-yips get to yell "no! no! no! nonononononNONO!"
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - wull - it's for the Great Council to debate the difference between great Funk & bad Disco : ) ...
	9:26am Joe McG: @ngh: But then they say yes yes yes!
	9:27am Glenn M: Good morning joe!
	9:28am Davee: Hi Joe!
	9:28am Joe McG: Hey, Glenn!
	9:29am Joe McG: Hey, Davee!
	9:30am Davee: Any halloween tracks?
	9:32am Joe McG: @Davee: Yeah, maybe! I brought a few, so we'll see how things pan out.
	9:42am northguineahills: A new Julie Ruin.... Curious....
	9:42am SeanG: I'm diggin this! Howdy all!
	9:49am Cecile: Hum. How come I don't really like this, but if the Bats or Look Blue Go Purple did it, I'd be all over it?
	9:50am Jeezy: Ah great to be alive for another day!
	9:50am Cecile: Play that shitty early Ministry track "Every Day Is Halloween". It's hilarious.
	9:51am common: Hey Rev. Rabbit: how did you do the pay after payday thingy?
	9:51am Cecile: I think it's the slickness. It doesn't feel like someone is stumbling over the words.
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	9:54am Cecile: hahahaahahah Right after I find the Neo Boys on the free blogs, it gets reisssued. I remember it having a great cover.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's pretty deluxe-y: two discs with live and demos!
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Deluxey morning, y'allses.
	9:56am Cecile: Sounds awesome. You should check out the Mind & Matter disc, and not just because I worked with one of the singers's wives. Great early Jimmy Jam stuff.
	👻 9:56am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and the McGs. Mississippi did the vinyl version of the Neo Boys re-issue.
	10:00am Cecile: ugh, all the bloggy links don't show up any more. I should have grabbed that cover while I had the chance.
	10:01am Cecile: Oh, der. It was as different Portland woman band. I feel dopey. And i can't remember their name!
	10:01am herb.nyc: i like this, a bunch of women singing. there's something to be said for the feminine side (and by coincidence, i read a 1act play by DAVID IVES last night, called "the red address" & a macho businessman likes to put on women's clothes.). oh, great band name INSTANT MUSIC.
	10:01am Joe McG: Hey, tim! @Cecile: That's OK. Let us know later on if it comes to mind!
	👻 10:02am tim from champaign: Of course, Bryce had to put something completely awesome on his premium and I didn't order it. D'oh!
	10:02am johnforz: oh man, this mutazione comp is gold... start to finish
	10:04am Jeezy: No Lou tribute, Joe? Surprising...
	10:04am Cecile: FOUND IT. It was the Neo Boys: actsofvandalism.tumblr.com...
	10:05am Joe McG: @Jeezy: I figure everyone else has done that for me, but I may slip something on before the day is through. Not "Halloween Parade," though!
	10:05am Joe McG: Cool, Cecile!
	10:06am Jeezy: Although I suppose one could consider the entire show an indirect Lou tribute since much of this would probably not exist as is without him.. Ah right gotcha, Joe..
	10:09am Joe McG: Good point, Jeezy.
	10:09am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Great show Joe. Just star-clicked this Pikelet song.
	10:10am Cecile: You could play some Easybeats. Lou loved that band, from all accounts.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Jennique: I really like this record by Pikelet. My god, a new record I like, believe it or not.
	10:11am Green Mountain Man Mark: Hi
	10:14am Cecile: Ten of Lou's favorite songs from Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com...
	10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: An hour of doo-wop would do it, too. @GMM: Hi!
	10:14am Cecile: I know! I'm a sucker for that stuff myself.
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Mr Reed knew a good pop song when he heard one, lawds knows he wrote enough. Thursday on my mind.
	10:16am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I will check them out Joe. Just star-clicked this Semi-Colon song too. Something tells me this will be a star-studded playlist.
	10:17am Joe McG: Hey, Brian, and B/wad and all across the pond...
	10:18am Cecile: Brian, he was fortunate enough to have good musical taste + talent on his own.
	👻 10:18am tim from champaign: Alright! Feels like Saturday up in here. Excellent set, Joe.
	10:22am Joe McG: Thanks, tim, having a Saturday night kind of Thursday morning today.
	10:23am Cecile: I go out on Saturday night, I come home on Thursday morning.
	10:25am Meghan: Wow, this has a Tupelo Honey sound to it....
	10:26am Joe McG: @Meghan: I'm sure Van got the idea from the Impressions.
	10:28am Joe McG: But Van never tore up paper bags on his records, as far as I know.
	10:34am Mike Noble: speaking of wolves, here's a halloween request: "the werewolf song," either the original hurley/folkways version (1964) or the peter stampfel acapella.
	10:34am Cecile: yup! I hear em.
	10:35am Whosondephone: Trucks. Loud and clear!
	10:35am Green Mountain Man Mark: I hear the trucks. Also hear trucks here.
	10:36am Joe McG: You guys like the trucks or should I close the door? It must sound like I'm doing a remote from a loading dock.
	10:36am Guido (Cologne): I waited for that particular song among all the Lou & VU-memories ... even though he doesn't sing on it.
	10:36am northguineahills: I dig the trucks. wish they were louder.
	10:37am Green Mountain Man Mark: I like the trucks. Go outside and do that horn asking gesture with your fist and arm to make them blow the horn.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Guido: Early composition and a good one, I think!
	10:38am Michele: HI Joe!
	10:38am Cecile: Drongos! hahahahah That is an insult in Australian slang.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Michele: I'll do it at 11, I promise! :)
	10:39am Guido (Cologne): Great singe ... on of my all time faves ...... don't remember who avtually sang. Kind of "unknown Rightous Bothers" I guess.
	10:39am Ike: I know the trucks seem loud to the DJs in the studio, but to us, they're pretty quiet. Most of that ambient rattle and hum doesn't come through. I like it -- what little of it I can hear.
	10:42am Guido (Cologne): ... cover-version by Spiritualized is also worth checking. And The Sick Rose from Italy did a good version.
	10:42am Joe McG: @Ike: Great, a little ambient noise is good. @Cecile: It means "Idiots," doesn't it?
	10:43am Jim Price: Hi Joe! Good choice with the Drongos. Wonder how many DJs will play the Shaggs "it's Holloween" today?
	10:43am Joe McG: Hey, Jim! Oh, all of them, I think!
	10:44am Michele: I forgot about it, but thanks!
	10:44am Joe McG: @Michele: I get absurdly nervous!
	10:48am Cecile: It's a little worse. It's like using "dumbass" over here.
	10:49am Cecile: I got called on it when I was a kid using it every five minutes down there. hahahaha
	10:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'm going to start using it when I drive instead of my usual choice words.
	10:50am Cecile: hahahahahha, sounds good.
	10:51am Cecile: I have to say about the Specials. In my eyes, they might have been one of the greatest bands, period.
	10:51am Andrew Waterloo: when I drive I use the word "person" a lot.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Andrew: I'll try it, but it doesn't seem to have enough HEFT somehow.
	10:52am Parq: Ah, some cheesy disco. Delivering on your promise, I see. Or threat, depending on how one sees these things.
	10:53am Cecile: is she singing "Be Afraid?"
	10:53am Joe McG: @Parq: I spared you the disco with bagpipes earlier. I have it with me!
	10:54am Cecile: you have to play it joe. HAVE TO
	10:55am Cecile: ROY!
	10:56am Parq: Roy Wood makes it all okay.
	10:56am Joe McG: @Cecile: Maybe next week, but we'll see! Last time I played bagpipe records people thought I was Glen Jones.
	10:58am Cecile: CHICO!
	10:59am Parq: It's not your job, man.
	10:59am Cecile: I loved that show. It was stupid, but Freddie Prinze was so magnetic. I still think of him from time to time. What a loss.
	10:59am Cecile: sniffle
	11:00am Green Mountain Man Mark: two years ago the record fair was during halloween weekend. This year it will be around Thanksgiving, right? I can't come down this year.
	11:00am PKNY: I need more José in my life.
	11:02am Mike Noble: I agree, I'd like to go back to bed too.
	11:02am Cecile: Joe McG - ken plays bagpipe records, too.
	11:02am Michele: I heard the beep beep beep
	11:03am Parq: "Everyone watches TV. Ray Charles watches TV. He does -- he watches José Feliciano." -Chris Rush, ca. 1972
	11:03am Whosondephone: Thank you!
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign: Joe, if you were mistaken for Jonesy then you should play the bagpipes more often. I imagine Jonesy receives some "perks of the industry" as they say.
	11:03am Mike Noble: No Kill No Beep Beep
	11:04am Cecile: Yeah, if you don't count Ricardo Montalban as Khan. He shot himself.
	11:04am Whosondephone: You should use the trucks as sound bed alone.
	11:04am quinn: HI MIKE
	11:04am Cecile: That's why it's poignant. in his early 20s and that despairing.
	11:05am Cecile: Roy Wood wears his influences like a colorful poncho of sparkles.
	11:05am duke: Wasn't Desi Arnaz the first Hispanic TV star?
	11:05am Mike Noble: I think the "he" @Cecile is talking about is Freddie, not Montalban, right?
	11:06am Green Mountain Man Mark: Let's hear some jake brakes and some air brakes.
	11:06am Mike Noble: @quinn HI QUINNIE
	11:06am joe ray: Actually, Freddy Prinze shot himself in a fit of depression after his depression, in front of his manager
	11:06am Cecile: Yes, that's right, duke. yes, Freddie shot himself
	11:06am joe ray: after his divorce, I mean
	11:07am Cecile: his father's death is a big part of why Junior is virtually retired from acting. Ceasar Romero was on Batman!
	11:08am Cecile: which happened because he was on drugs. And also working so much he couldn't see straight.
	11:09am Green Mountain Man Mark: Let's hear the sounds of someone going postal over there.
	11:10am Cecile: OH. Can you play The Witch by the Sonics?
	11:11am Mike East: Ceasar Romero - when the Joker had a mustache, right? Morning all!
	11:11am Cecile: this is kickass, and i have to find it for my husband.
	11:12am Cecile: that's right, Mike East!
	11:12am Andrew Waterloo: the only Halloween thing I can think of right now is Ghastly Ones
	11:13am Cecile: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:14am Davee: Now there is a halloween song!!!!!
	11:15am duke: Haven't heard this in quite a while. Great Halloween song.
	11:15am Cecile: this is such a killer album, start to finish.
	11:17am Carmichael: Hey ay Joe, where you goin' with that record in your hand? Hi everyone.
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign: I'm quite fond of Lollipop Shoppe's "You Must Be A Witch".
	11:18am Cecile: hahaha, I knew this would draw out Carm.
	11:18am Green Mountain Man Mark: Iggy Pop's You're Wearing a Mask.
	11:20am northguineahills: Steeleye Span!
	11:21am sweet cheri: hiya joe, happy halloween!! i just digging your show.
	11:21am northguineahills: haven't heard this version of Tam Lin. sweet!
	11:21am Carmichael: It's my Span antenna, Cecile! I have no control over it. And Tam Lin's a great one too.
	11:22am Guido (Cologne): ... most internationally successful German single before Autobahn?
	11:24am Joe McG: @Guido: That may be true. I know it was Top 10 everywhere except here.
	11:25am Carmichael: Wow, this is her 1st album after leaving Mr. Fox. Haven't heard this since, well, '73.
	11:27am Kelly Jones: Happy Halloween Ghoul-y Joe McGasko. Today's Confession: I never read any other listener comments before interrupting with my own.
	11:27am Jeezy: Wow, Allmusic is not very charitable to Mr. Fry...
	👻 11:27am 12539: Joe, if you play the Eagles Witchy Woman I'll never forgive you.
	11:28am Carmichael: Wow, you're dredging up the UK country music scene quite nicely, Joe. Will there be some Home Service or Bothy Band?
	11:29am Joe McG: Hey, Kelly! You can interrupt anybody anytime you like! @12539: Don't worry!
	11:29am Joe McG: @Jeezy: Pshaw on Allmusic. This is a great album.
	11:30am Jeezy: Agreed Joe!
	11:30am dale: i was just listening to carolanne last night! winter people, specifically, and sapphire. i have bob and caroleanne's 'he came from the mountain' which was around 77 i think. don't know if it was ever released on cd
	11:30am Guido (Cologne): ... not in the US? Didn't know ...
	11:31am Cecile: Allmusic has its issues, for sure.
	11:31am Joe McG: @dale: Lucky! I don't have that one. Have all the Mr. Fox and this solo LP by Carolanne.
	11:31am Carmichael: Seriously, AllMusic dissed Mark Fry? They can suck it.
	11:33am Jeezy: They really are hit and miss, to say the least.
	11:33am KP: This Augers well.
	11:33am dale: just googled it - 71! much earlier than i thought. i bought it new in 77 anyway. maybe i can use my wife's awful ion turntable and rip it.
	11:34am Cecile: they are never updated that well either if it's not a big mainstream or cult band. RuPaul apparently did NOTHING after 2006 except for put out three more CDs.
	11:34am Magda: Hello People.
	11:34am Guido (Cologne): Has anyone seen Brian Auger Trinity recently on stage? His daughter on vocals, his son on drums. Good sense of humour. And they really grooooove !!
	11:35am Joe McG: @KP: Ouch! @Magda: Hi, Magda!
	11:35am Mike Noble: when dig AMG become useless for searching compositions? I was trying to search for other versions of Michael Hurley's "werewolf" earlier, and it was impossible.
	11:35am Joe McG: @dale: Nice!
	11:36am glenn: oh man. toronto's police chief has just confirmed they have the video of mayor rob ford smoking crack.
	11:36am Green Mountain Man Mark: Why was that witch in the Wizard of Ozz green? Did someone make her real mad and she turned into the incredible bitch?
	11:37am glenn: i'm doing my happy dance.
	11:37am Carmichael: Glenn, every nation has at least one Marion Barry.
	11:38am Cecile: Okay, this beats out my old fave, Mike Bloomfield and Steven Stills...
	11:38am Magda: @Joe: hello Joe. @Carmichael, if that's the case then does every nation have one Chris Christie?
	11:39am dale: actually quite a few posts on youtube from that album mr. deejay. probably cleaner than i would make. possibly grab them from there. they sound like ian and sylvia, actually. her voice didn't develop into that banshee quaver yet that makes her solo album so good.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Cecile: It was between this, that one, and Sam Gopal. I like this one best.
	11:39am KP: i went to see Eric Burden out in Hamptons. They were selling CDs before set. i asked the guy if they had the one with Brian Auger, recorded right there at Stephen Talkhouse. He saidno. i said are sure, ive seen it. No Brian Auger! Are you sure, YES NO BRIAN AUGER. So i bought a couple of others. The show started. The keyboard player was the salesman.
	11:39am Carmichael: Trivia tidbit: Brian Auger played the harpsichord on the Yardbirds' For Your Love.
	11:39am Andrew Waterloo: If Rob Ford wanted Meteoric popularity he'd where a tux and a top hat.
	11:39am Cecile: www.dailymotion.com...
	11:39am sweet cheri: joe, i got to fly out now..i enjoyed the ghoulish show. kp, if you go to to the halloween parade tonight i hope you enjoy yourself. HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!
	11:39am Whosondephone: This is great!
	11:41am KP: No parade cheri, but will have good time.
	11:42am Mike Noble: @Joe thanks for the reminder, I should play the song "witchipoo" on my show later (here in DC).
	11:44am Joe McG: Good trivia tidbit, Tim. @Mike Noble: Tell the people how they can hear your show! Can they?
	11:45am Eric: Lick the Witch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt_4YvccTDs
	11:47am V Priceless: really miss ol' Kev.
	11:48am Mike Noble: @Joe "community powered radio" in DC. a euphemism for "pirate," which also means it reaches like a 2-block radius in the hip part of town. no stream because we have terrible internet and are actually more terrified of soundexchange than we are of the feds.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Mike: The important thing is that you are making that 2-blocks the coolest neighborhood in D.C. Great to hear it, my friend.
	11:49am Carmichael: @Mike N: if you podcast it, they will come.
	11:49am northguineahills: Dayum, I love this Ayers....
	11:50am Mike Noble: @Carmichael and by they, do you mean SoundExchange, coming for their royalties? it really worries me!
	11:52am Mike Noble: @Carmichael: I do podcast actually, but I literally have single digit subscribers, so I don't think I have anything to worry about yet. Except worry about losing my sanity over constantly screaming into the vacuum. I'm also a half-dozen episodes behind on updating the thing.
	11:52am slugluv1313: WOW just tuning in -- "Decadence" so perfect -- "The only thing that's left to try/She says to live, I have to die"
	11:52am MattBelow: Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
	11:52am Carmichael: Oh, them. Since you're not making any money from playing them, I would think it's a moot point. But I'm on the other end of the nation behind a fake user name.
	11:53am Joe McG: Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye (Lou)
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign: The Velvet Whoosits? Wow, I've only read about them on the internet. FMU delivers again!
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: @Mike Noble. Was the Werewolf off of the Moray Eels? I loves Lonesome Cowboy Bill.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great Halloween and great weekend!
	11:56am Mike Noble: @Brian - the Rounders version with Pete's solo acapella, yeah. Hurley sang it himself on his Folkways debut (which I only learned about today) and on 1970's Armchair Boogie.
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe, played Loaded last night, strictly record. Cannot spill vinil.
	11:57am northguineahills: Doperiffic schizite, Joe, thanks!
	11:58am Whosondephone: Hell Yeah!!!
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Mike Noble: yet another RIP lou reed even though the man hated "RIP" when people died!
	11:59am Cecile: that was supposed to be his swipe at Nico, says WIkipedia
	10:00pm Holly in NC: Before I listen to the show, or read the comments - OMG panda. And I HATE the phrase "OMG anything" ;-)
