	9:17am MD: The Real "Morning Joe!!!" Hello Tribe...!
	9:19am ?: She told me to sitar anywhere
	9:19am Joe McG: Good day, all! Here's wishing that it doesn't take long to get your sitar tuned up this morning.
	9:20am PKNY: G'TZAG Joe and all! Now I'll be spending all morning trying to figure out the best way to play air sitar.
	9:22am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:22am bobdoesthings: you feelin better joe?
	9:22am Utopiast: I think I stepped in the yellow matter custard
	9:23am Brendan: I'm going to have to make the bus in seconds flat if I stay here listening and eating my cereal. Cheerios, Joe . Brb....
	9:23am ?: So leave your shoes outside the door, and sitar anywhere
	👻 9:24am doctorjazz: Hi all, good Monday. Easy Listening Sitar, what a concept!
	9:24am Guido from Cologne: would need some tunig service probably
	9:24am V Priceless: Hey Joe!
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @PKNY: The right picking hand thumb is anchored - & w/ the left fretting hand, press in & out & way up & down not so much back&forth like you would w/ guitar...
	9:26am Joe McG: @bob: Thanks for asking, Bob! A little bit, but this plague is hanging on!
	9:26am Guido from Cologne: Hahaha , I just commented this piece on Avant Ghetto. You know Jimmy Page stole this.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: >Bert Jansch>Davy Graham...
	9:28am Guido from Cologne: It is Davy Graham's adaption of the tarditional "She Moves Through the Fair" from 1963. Jimmy Page claims the composing credit. Old copycat!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Guido: Ha ha! He stole from everybody!
	9:28am BrianFromMA: I always wondered about who played the soprano sax on White Summer, anyone know?
	9:29am Guido from Cologne: Original is in this show: wfmu.org...
	9:29am Guido from Cologne: Jimmy was afraid of Anne Briggs (she got some credit on the LedZep debut)
	👻 9:32am Webhamster Henry: I lent a Sitar Rock cover record to Ken once. It may have been a casualty of the Hurricane Sandy Basement flood.
	9:33am thedunkel: Morning Joe! Morning fellow listeners!
	9:34am Guido from Cologne: John Fahey on "dance of death" album 1963 made dobro guitars sound like sitars.
	9:35am Utopiast: If I may be serious for a moment (and I can), let me say that this morning's show is yet another example of how much I learn each time I tune into (log onto) WFMU. As a superficial consumer of pop music throughout my life, I was not exposed to the breadth and depth of music that WFMU exposes in its immense library. I thank that special person who provided the gateway to this door of perception. Pluck your string...
	9:37am Uncle Michael: Jim Sullivan (Lord Sitar) is said to have taught sitar to George Harrison. Sullivan did exploit but he truly was an innovator in this regard.
	9:37am fred: I saw Michel Gentils this week, he has a guitar with an extra neck for sympathetic strings: www.michelgentils.com...
	9:40am Guido from Cologne: ... this is soooo goood !!! :-)
	9:40am Joe McG: @Uncle Michael: Well said!
	9:41am ga01: Morning!
	9:41am sphere: damn straight Guido. i want a Dave Pike Set LP now.
	👻 9:42am Webhamster Henry: Electric Sitar: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:42am V Priceless: @ Joe: any Strawbs or Velvet Opera on the playlist this morn? Hud played a mean sitar...probably still does.
	9:42am Guido from Cologne: to be mentioned: The Danelectro Sitar Guitar en.wikipedia.org...
	9:43am Uncle Michael: As a first call London session musician, it seems likely that Sullivan was recording sitar parts for various purposes before they were appearing on pop records.
	9:43am Joe McG: @VP: Possibly, I have one Elmer Gantry track floating around....let's see how the tabla falls!
	👻 9:43am doctorjazz: This is making me smile...
	👻 9:44am tadpoles: Great show thanks Joe. More acid Brits please - Traffic's "Paper Sun"
	9:45am Joe McG: @tadpoles: No worries! We will cross the pond again.
	9:47am V Priceless: haha @ 'tabla falls'
	9:47am Guido from Cologne: ... come and drop some acit brits ... hehehe ...
	9:48am Utopiast: And let me also amend my above comment to say that WFMU listeners are the most knowledgeable I have ever seen and provide substantial backstories to what is being played, as demonstrated in this show's comment thread. You guys are great...
	9:49am V Priceless: This is fab!
	9:49am Joe McG: @Utopiast: Glad you can be here with us.
	9:51am Guido from Cologne: coincidences today , we had a version of "The Look of Love" on Frank's show.
	9:52am Utopiast: Thanks Joe.
	9:53am Todd-o-phonic: I would like to request The Higher State or Bronco Bullfrog so I can say I contributed to this show.
	9:54am V Priceless: Great Spirit cut!
	9:55am Joe McG: @Todd: Hey, I thought you were out of town! :)
	9:56am Jack: I'll second "Paper Sun", and mention Kula Shakers' "Govinda"
	9:57am Guido from Cologne: We the people!!!
	10:00am Ear Hammer: Your ambition is paying off! This is a wonderful show so far!
	10:01am Joe McG: @Ear Hammer: Aw, thanks, EH!
	10:02am Marc Francis: Good psychedelic Monday morning!
	10:02am bobdoesthings: black butter lyric threw me off..
	10:02am Guido from Cologne: Lotsa faves today, just like "I" ...
	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & everybody!
	10:06am Guido from Cologne: caution: this stereo record is not mono-compatible! Vocals will disappear when played mono. true
	10:06am fred: I'm all pledged out already, but maybe someone can drop a few buck in the virtual tip jar? The best way to choose between the great T-shirts is to get both
	10:08am Guido from Cologne: the tees are worth it ... the station anyway ...
	👻 10:09am doctorjazz: It's a Bob Brainen time warp!
	10:09am Joe McG: Thanks, guys. Yes, if you haven't pledged yet, please help us out. It's our final week.
	10:10am Andy: Bringing back memories of the Dr. Tom show. Thanks
	10:12am fred: @Guido: the dreaded phase opposition. Most likely blamed on wrongly plugged wires, it happened to friends when Ken did a show at Bimbo Tower. How I miss that record store...
	10:14am MattBelow: Heavenly morning!
	10:14am Guido from Cologne: @fred Yes, very obviously wrongly connected wires.
	👻 10:16am Ken From Hyde Park: What in sitarnation?
	10:17am Chris from DC: Is Bimbo Tower gone?
	10:17am Guido from Cologne: Beefheart's Magic Band jamming with Tangerine Dream?
	10:18am fred: @Chris: unfortunately, yes
	10:19am Joe McG: @Guido: Featuring "Ry Cooter" on guitar!
	10:19am wildneil?!: The Ceyleib People sound like the Stones, kinda....
	10:19am sphere: whoh Ceylib People are destroying what is left of my mind.
	10:19am Guido from Cologne: "Ry Cooter" ... hahahaha
	10:20am Chris from DC: Fred, that was a cool place. I had a hell of a time finding it.
	10:20am wildneil?!: Hey, there is a new Star Trek on the internet called Star Trek Continues....some TOS sets, new cast. Its awesome!
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: ... hahaha ... i have this. with the instructions how to make a psychedelic party (without drugs). You must read them!
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: ... oh no i mixed somthing ...
	10:24am fred: @Chris: yeah, it wasn't easy, no way you'd find it unless you were looking for it. I miss that store, it shows how what you take for granted can be gone in a snap
	10:24am sphere: yeah, i'm pledged out too. please give.
	10:25am Mark R.: My third eye is weeping.
	10:25am redkayak: This isn't Spinal Tap is it? ;)
	10:25am joe: I hear id....I hear id
	10:25am Guido from Cologne: "the unfolding " will be the next exploito-record to follow in this set?
	10:26am sphere: Id's alive!
	10:26am redkayak: Id! Sit! Stay!
	10:26am Joe McG: My id is rising!
	10:27am V Priceless: the monsters from the Id!
	10:27am Guido from Cologne: Bil the kettle, mother!
	10:27am Jeff: This piece is pretty idiosyncratic.
	10:27am fred: Give Joe something to do!
	10:28am common: joe, all!
	10:28am Utopiast: This guy's id needs some dark chocolate.
	10:28am Joe McG: @Jeff: I'm glad you didn't say idiotic.
	10:30am bobdoesthings: do the rake?
	10:30am steve: this is gold
	10:33am Jeff from Rahway: Joe, have you ever heard this disc? I may have won this during a WFMU marathon decades ago. Or maybe it's the LSD talking. www.discogs.com...
	10:34am Brendan: Freebird! (Ravi Shankar version)
	10:34am Joe McG: @Jeff: No, but what a choice collection! Mussies on there and everything....
	10:35am PKNY: Yay, Shocking Blue doubleshot!
	10:36am Jeff from Rahway: IDK if this is trippy enough but it is a fantastic jazz interpretation of the Beatles' best LP. www.discogs.com...
	10:37am steveo: 1970 Love Buzz = mind blown
	10:37am Howard F: Good morning! So this is the original version of Love Buzz?!
	10:38am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU: Where the Shocking Blue "Love Buzz" gets way more airplay than the Nirvana one.
	10:38am bobdoesthings: shocking blue<3 this is great.. .
	10:39am Utopiast: Of course, Venus was widely played, but top 40 stations never played that Shocking Blue tune
	10:39am Listener Alexandra: You make my (radio) dreams come true, Joe :-)
	10:40am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: hey there uh...did I miss singles going steady?
	10:41am Chris from DC: The opening section is the alap.
	10:41am Bronwyn Bishop: Kinks, Beatles, Electric Prunes, yay! May I request some Peter Walker? :)
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alap: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & the other bits? : en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Guido from Cologne: We the People do the original
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more on Raga structure: india.tilos.hu... 'Inner Light' is not actually Raga - but Tibetan I think.
	10:46am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: oh. OK, party pooper.
	10:46am Joe McG: @RR63: Thanks for the info! @Bronwyn: I love Peter, but I think he may be a bit too folky for the raga rock. @LA: Hey, Alex!
	10:47am ?: The House of the Rising Drone!
	10:48am P-90: Guten "Sitars Going Steady" @Joe McG! Loving every minute of the show this morning, I've always been a fan/student of the sitar/raga/rock thing, so I'm in Radio Heaven. And Hi to Guido, RRN63, bobdoes, Greg, fred, and the whole crew...
	10:49am Joe McG: Glad to hear it, P-90!
	10:50am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: holy carp. Don't think I ever heard this P Things tune.
	10:50am Mike East: last night, just left of WFMU on the dial, they were playing all LIVE Ravi Shankar. Found it on the way to looking for FMU and missed much of Faye's show because of it, but it was great music to zone out on my cooking project to.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Mike: That was probably KCR. They do some fine Indian programming over there.
	10:51am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: Another coincidence: Had a look at Facebook and an old friend posted a picture of his sitar teacher. I remember the day he bought his first sitar about 40 years ago..
	10:52am V Priceless: great show, JM! Thanks! Gotta switch to the app as I run around!
	10:53am common: agreed, vp. with the show and the running soon
	10:54am Mike East: Yeah, I think so, Joe...that's Columbia U, right? I stopped on it cuz it sounded like it could be FMU and it was a while before the DJ came on to back announce.
	10:54am ?: Tomorrow with Future Yes guitarist Steve Howe
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great album & always glad if it's not 'My White Bicycle' again...
	10:56am Joe McG: @Mike: Yes, I used to listen quite often to their Sunday night Indian classical show. Thanks for reminding me!
	10:56am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: although this sounds pretty much like My White Bicycle.
	10:56am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: is it too early to eat a bag of jalapeño chips?
	10:57am P-90: KNEW it was only a matter of time until Steve Howe came into this!
	10:58am Polyus: All roads eventually lead back to Steve Howe.
	10:59am Bronwyn Bishop: Yay Hollies!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, still adjusting to this Monday malarkey.
	11:01am Joe McG: @Brian: Me, too! We'll get there.
	11:01am Mike East: nice @Joe! Will definitely remember that one. I usually head to BAI for olde timey radio at that time, but I wasn't into what they were playing last night. Its so great to have so many options, without even needing the internet!
	11:02am Jeff from Rahway: All this sitar is making me feel like I'm dining in one of those Indian restaurants on E. 6th street in the East Village (on drugs).
	11:02am Mike East: "For Fox Sake" - brilliant.
	11:03am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: yeah, you guys are lucky with all your good radio. We have jack doink down here...
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Joe, the sun is shinging outside, got me thinking of so many Sixties sounds. Original Nirvana, Dantalions Chariot. All the R'n B groups grew their hair and started wearing kaftans.
	11:05am Joe McG: Brian, I can't believe you just named the group I have cued up.
	11:06am Utopiast: 1970 was a great year for foxes
	11:06am Mike East: pretty much all country music and political talk down there, right, DC?
	11:08am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: not country. Use to have bluegrass but they replaced that with more talk. Every once in a while you can find some interesting Latin music or go go but usually not.
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: If memory serves I bought Heartful of Soul and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling on the same day. Early '65? What a great year, the music changed its shape and the LP became credible.
	11:11am Gaylord Fields: This show will lack for CanCon if there's no Poppy Family. You do want Canadians to like your show, don't you, Joe?
	11:12am Chris from DC: One or two overnights a week on one station there's good freeform jazz and experimental music on, but otherwise DC is a wasteland.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Gaylord: I have the first Poppy LP with me. Should I hit "Free from the City"?
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Joe, will there be a 'phasing' set? Did you folks call it that?
	11:12am P-90: @ Brian: Good call on Dantalian's Chariot, not a band we heard much here. And your comment about English R&B groups suddenly wearing kaftans and growing their hair sums up a huge chapter of rock evolution at a particular point.
	11:14am Brendan: WAMU used to have a great bluegrass/folk afternoon thing.
	11:14am MattBelow: I was hoping to hear a bit of C&J. Thanks for a fab show Joe!
	11:15am Joe McG: Thanks, MattB!
	11:15am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG: Yes, please! And thank you!
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Within You, Without You. Still stands the test of time, not much else on Sgt Pepper is up there. Took me years to realise the qualities of Revolver over Pepper..
	👻 11:17am Ken From Hyde Park: In these parts, Vassar's WVKR radio broadcasts a Hindi & Bollywood program on Saturday mornings. The Geet Mala show with DJ Padma. www.wvkr.org...
	11:18am Claw!: Poppies!
	11:18am herb.nyc: (Hi joe, oct chk in mail today!)
	11:18am MattBelow: @Brian in UK: Ever hear Norwegian Wood take 2 on bootlegs? www.youtube.com...
	11:19am V Priceless: Any Move in the remaining mix, Joe?
	11:20am βrian: Love the Poppy Family … but I forget why.
	11:21am Listener Alexandra: My dream of hearing "There's No Blood in Bone" remains...
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: @MattBelow will have a listen after the show. Thanks.
	11:21am bobdoesthings: for fox sake! i like it!
	11:23am ?: wikipedia says Dantalian's Chariot, a not o??
	11:24am Gaylord Fields: @Listener Alexandra: I hope I havent used up Joe's Poppy Family quota with my suggestion.
	11:26am P-90: There's been talk about a Tomorrow reunion in the works for a few years, btw. They're all on board, just have to work out the details. I have a feeling they'll stick to the UK, though.
	11:27am Joe McG: @?: Yeah, sorry, spelled it wrong. I'll fix it!
	11:28am Chris from DC: Good call on Clark-Hutchinson.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Joe, can you fix my spelling too, and make me handsome and have a good singing voice.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Brian: Done!
	11:33am Joe McG: Wow, thanks, guys, for making me reach my goal today! How exciting!!
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Congrats on the goal.
	11:34am Listener Alexandra: @gaylord: I hope not! @joe I didn't pledge for the Poppy Family, I promise ;-)
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Oh well one out of three is a start.
	11:34am Brendan: Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!
	11:35am Joe McG: @Alex: I don't mind! I wouldn't mind playing them every week! I'll get "Blood in Bone" on for you soon!
	11:35am Listener Alexandra: Joe, you rock my world.
	11:37am Joe McG: @Alex: :)
	11:38am P-90: Congratulations, Surface Noise and Joe McG! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, or a more consistently excellent show. Yip yip yip yip yip
	11:40am Guido from Cologne: Ah! Goal!
	11:40am Guido from Cologne: Congrats!
	11:42am Joe McG: Many thanks, folks!
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: When the white eagle of the North is overhead. Put up the umbrella.
	11:43am Brendan: Ah oh wise moody blues narrator guy.
	👻 11:44am doctorjazz: Ahhh, getting into a good place with the Moodys...haven't heard that one in ages Thanks for the great show.
	11:44am Ear Hammer: !!!!!!!!!! Goals met! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L show today.
	11:45am Joe McG: Thanks, guys!
	👻 11:47am tadpoles: Oi Joe haven't heard this Moodies in ages. Used to blow my mind. Ps sent a check to FMU by mail and requested your mix. Great show thanks.
	11:48am Utopiast: I can't tell you how many afternoons my mates and I spaced out to Moody Blues in hot humid Maryland in in 1972. I literally can't tell you. that is how much fun THAT was.
	11:48am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: OK, going to have to find an Indian food truck now..
	11:49am Brendan: Apu!
	11:49am Nellie: Amazing show and music...thank you!
	11:50am Claw!: Thanks, Joe! Nice show. :-)
	11:50am Chris from DC: dcp, weird,the trucks never come to my neighborhood, but the Indian truck is coming by today.
	11:51am ChrisB.: This has been a consistently great episode of Surface Noise. Archive gold, for certain.
	11:53am P-90: @d¢ pat: right? Indian truck a must-have after all this
	11:54am Brendan: This show has definitely informed my lunch snd dinner venue decisions.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody, and stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock. Special guest: Sweet Talk!
	11:55am Guido from Cologne: Thanks Joe and CU next week same board!
	11:57am P-90: @Chris B and Joe McG: I was just thinking I'll be referring friends to this archive when this topic comes up in conversations to come.
	11:57am cory: great show Joe. thanks
	11:59am ?: Namaste, dude!
	11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe! Perfect way to segue back into real life.

	9:04am Marcel M: Morning Joe!
	👻 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy happy boing boing. Let me well understand the format today. This is raga rock, not ragna rock?
	9:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...See My Friends - Gutentzag FMUvians...
	9:06am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Joe! Allrighty, i just decided i need a shredding Chipmunk! ;-) ... as encouragement

	9:10am Uncle Michael: Are friends eclectic?
	9:12am Utopiast: Good Kinks Morning...
	9:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BBC doc on 'Psychedelic Brittania' : www.dailymotion.com...
	9:15am fred: Could Norwegian Wood have been an inspiration for the Norwegian parrot?
	9:17am MD: The Real "Morning Joe!!!" Hello Tribe...!
	9:19am ?: She told me to sitar anywhere
	9:19am Joe McG: Good day, all! Here's wishing that it doesn't take long to get your sitar tuned up this morning.
	9:20am PKNY: G'TZAG Joe and all! Now I'll be spending all morning trying to figure out the best way to play air sitar.
	9:22am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:22am bobdoesthings: you feelin better joe?
	9:22am Utopiast: I think I stepped in the yellow matter custard
	9:23am Brendan: I'm going to have to make the bus in seconds flat if I stay here listening and eating my cereal. Cheerios, Joe . Brb....
	9:23am ?: So leave your shoes outside the door, and sitar anywhere
	👻 9:24am doctorjazz: Hi all, good Monday. Easy Listening Sitar, what a concept!
	9:24am Guido from Cologne: would need some tunig service probably
	9:24am V Priceless: Hey Joe!
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @PKNY: The right picking hand thumb is anchored - & w/ the left fretting hand, press in & out & way up & down not so much back&forth like you would w/ guitar...
	9:26am Joe McG: @bob: Thanks for asking, Bob! A little bit, but this plague is hanging on!
	9:26am Guido from Cologne: Hahaha , I just commented this piece on Avant Ghetto. You know Jimmy Page stole this.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: >Bert Jansch>Davy Graham...
	9:28am Guido from Cologne: It is Davy Graham's adaption of the tarditional "She Moves Through the Fair" from 1963. Jimmy Page claims the composing credit. Old copycat!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Guido: Ha ha! He stole from everybody!
	9:28am BrianFromMA: I always wondered about who played the soprano sax on White Summer, anyone know?
	9:29am Guido from Cologne: Original is in this show: wfmu.org...
	9:29am Guido from Cologne: Jimmy was afraid of Anne Briggs (she got some credit on the LedZep debut)
	👻 9:32am Webhamster Henry: I lent a Sitar Rock cover record to Ken once. It may have been a casualty of the Hurricane Sandy Basement flood.
	9:33am thedunkel: Morning Joe! Morning fellow listeners!
	9:34am Guido from Cologne: John Fahey on "dance of death" album 1963 made dobro guitars sound like sitars.
	9:35am Utopiast: If I may be serious for a moment (and I can), let me say that this morning's show is yet another example of how much I learn each time I tune into (log onto) WFMU. As a superficial consumer of pop music throughout my life, I was not exposed to the breadth and depth of music that WFMU exposes in its immense library. I thank that special person who provided the gateway to this door of perception. Pluck your string...
	9:37am Uncle Michael: Jim Sullivan (Lord Sitar) is said to have taught sitar to George Harrison. Sullivan did exploit but he truly was an innovator in this regard.
	9:37am fred: I saw Michel Gentils this week, he has a guitar with an extra neck for sympathetic strings: www.michelgentils.com...
	9:40am Guido from Cologne: ... this is soooo goood !!! :-)
	9:40am Joe McG: @Uncle Michael: Well said!
	9:41am ga01: Morning!
	9:41am sphere: damn straight Guido. i want a Dave Pike Set LP now.
	👻 9:42am Webhamster Henry: Electric Sitar: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:42am V Priceless: @ Joe: any Strawbs or Velvet Opera on the playlist this morn? Hud played a mean sitar...probably still does.
	9:42am Guido from Cologne: to be mentioned: The Danelectro Sitar Guitar en.wikipedia.org...
	9:43am Uncle Michael: As a first call London session musician, it seems likely that Sullivan was recording sitar parts for various purposes before they were appearing on pop records.
	9:43am Joe McG: @VP: Possibly, I have one Elmer Gantry track floating around....let's see how the tabla falls!
	👻 9:43am doctorjazz: This is making me smile...
	👻 9:44am tadpoles: Great show thanks Joe. More acid Brits please - Traffic's "Paper Sun"
	9:45am Joe McG: @tadpoles: No worries! We will cross the pond again.
	9:47am V Priceless: haha @ 'tabla falls'
	9:47am Guido from Cologne: ... come and drop some acit brits ... hehehe ...
	9:48am Utopiast: And let me also amend my above comment to say that WFMU listeners are the most knowledgeable I have ever seen and provide substantial backstories to what is being played, as demonstrated in this show's comment thread. You guys are great...
	9:49am V Priceless: This is fab!
	9:49am Joe McG: @Utopiast: Glad you can be here with us.
	9:51am Guido from Cologne: coincidences today , we had a version of "The Look of Love" on Frank's show.
	9:52am Utopiast: Thanks Joe.
	9:53am Todd-o-phonic: I would like to request The Higher State or Bronco Bullfrog so I can say I contributed to this show.
	9:54am V Priceless: Great Spirit cut!
	9:55am Joe McG: @Todd: Hey, I thought you were out of town! :)
	9:56am Jack: I'll second "Paper Sun", and mention Kula Shakers' "Govinda"
	9:57am Guido from Cologne: We the people!!!
	10:00am Ear Hammer: Your ambition is paying off! This is a wonderful show so far!
	10:01am Joe McG: @Ear Hammer: Aw, thanks, EH!
	10:02am Marc Francis: Good psychedelic Monday morning!
	10:02am bobdoesthings: black butter lyric threw me off..
	10:02am Guido from Cologne: Lotsa faves today, just like "I" ...
	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & everybody!
	10:06am Guido from Cologne: caution: this stereo record is not mono-compatible! Vocals will disappear when played mono. true
	10:06am fred: I'm all pledged out already, but maybe someone can drop a few buck in the virtual tip jar? The best way to choose between the great T-shirts is to get both
	10:08am Guido from Cologne: the tees are worth it ... the station anyway ...
	👻 10:09am doctorjazz: It's a Bob Brainen time warp!
	10:09am Joe McG: Thanks, guys. Yes, if you haven't pledged yet, please help us out. It's our final week.
	10:10am Andy: Bringing back memories of the Dr. Tom show. Thanks
	10:12am fred: @Guido: the dreaded phase opposition. Most likely blamed on wrongly plugged wires, it happened to friends when Ken did a show at Bimbo Tower. How I miss that record store...
	10:14am MattBelow: Heavenly morning!
	10:14am Guido from Cologne: @fred Yes, very obviously wrongly connected wires.
	👻 10:16am Ken From Hyde Park: What in sitarnation?
	10:17am Chris from DC: Is Bimbo Tower gone?
	10:17am Guido from Cologne: Beefheart's Magic Band jamming with Tangerine Dream?
	10:18am fred: @Chris: unfortunately, yes
	10:19am Joe McG: @Guido: Featuring "Ry Cooter" on guitar!
	10:19am wildneil?!: The Ceyleib People sound like the Stones, kinda....
	10:19am sphere: whoh Ceylib People are destroying what is left of my mind.
	10:19am Guido from Cologne: "Ry Cooter" ... hahahaha
	10:20am Chris from DC: Fred, that was a cool place. I had a hell of a time finding it.
	10:20am wildneil?!: Hey, there is a new Star Trek on the internet called Star Trek Continues....some TOS sets, new cast. Its awesome!
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: ... hahaha ... i have this. with the instructions how to make a psychedelic party (without drugs). You must read them!
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: ... oh no i mixed somthing ...
	10:24am fred: @Chris: yeah, it wasn't easy, no way you'd find it unless you were looking for it. I miss that store, it shows how what you take for granted can be gone in a snap
	10:24am sphere: yeah, i'm pledged out too. please give.
	10:25am Mark R.: My third eye is weeping.
	10:25am redkayak: This isn't Spinal Tap is it? ;)
	10:25am joe: I hear id....I hear id
	10:25am Guido from Cologne: "the unfolding " will be the next exploito-record to follow in this set?
	10:26am sphere: Id's alive!
	10:26am redkayak: Id! Sit! Stay!
	10:26am Joe McG: My id is rising!
	10:27am V Priceless: the monsters from the Id!
	10:27am Guido from Cologne: Bil the kettle, mother!
	10:27am Jeff: This piece is pretty idiosyncratic.
	10:27am fred: Give Joe something to do!
	10:28am common: joe, all!
	10:28am Utopiast: This guy's id needs some dark chocolate.
	10:28am Joe McG: @Jeff: I'm glad you didn't say idiotic.
	10:30am bobdoesthings: do the rake?
	10:30am steve: this is gold
	10:33am Jeff from Rahway: Joe, have you ever heard this disc? I may have won this during a WFMU marathon decades ago. Or maybe it's the LSD talking. www.discogs.com...
	10:34am Brendan: Freebird! (Ravi Shankar version)
	10:34am Joe McG: @Jeff: No, but what a choice collection! Mussies on there and everything....
	10:35am PKNY: Yay, Shocking Blue doubleshot!
	10:36am Jeff from Rahway: IDK if this is trippy enough but it is a fantastic jazz interpretation of the Beatles' best LP. www.discogs.com...
	10:37am steveo: 1970 Love Buzz = mind blown
	10:37am Howard F: Good morning! So this is the original version of Love Buzz?!
	10:38am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU: Where the Shocking Blue "Love Buzz" gets way more airplay than the Nirvana one.
	10:38am bobdoesthings: shocking blue<3 this is great.. .
	10:39am Utopiast: Of course, Venus was widely played, but top 40 stations never played that Shocking Blue tune
	10:39am Listener Alexandra: You make my (radio) dreams come true, Joe :-)
	10:40am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: hey there uh...did I miss singles going steady?
	10:41am Chris from DC: The opening section is the alap.
	10:41am Bronwyn Bishop: Kinks, Beatles, Electric Prunes, yay! May I request some Peter Walker? :)
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alap: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & the other bits? : en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Guido from Cologne: We the People do the original
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more on Raga structure: india.tilos.hu... 'Inner Light' is not actually Raga - but Tibetan I think.
	10:46am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: oh. OK, party pooper.
	10:46am Joe McG: @RR63: Thanks for the info! @Bronwyn: I love Peter, but I think he may be a bit too folky for the raga rock. @LA: Hey, Alex!
	10:47am ?: The House of the Rising Drone!
	10:48am P-90: Guten "Sitars Going Steady" @Joe McG! Loving every minute of the show this morning, I've always been a fan/student of the sitar/raga/rock thing, so I'm in Radio Heaven. And Hi to Guido, RRN63, bobdoes, Greg, fred, and the whole crew...
	10:49am Joe McG: Glad to hear it, P-90!
	10:50am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: holy carp. Don't think I ever heard this P Things tune.
	10:50am Mike East: last night, just left of WFMU on the dial, they were playing all LIVE Ravi Shankar. Found it on the way to looking for FMU and missed much of Faye's show because of it, but it was great music to zone out on my cooking project to.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Mike: That was probably KCR. They do some fine Indian programming over there.
	10:51am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: Another coincidence: Had a look at Facebook and an old friend posted a picture of his sitar teacher. I remember the day he bought his first sitar about 40 years ago..
	10:52am V Priceless: great show, JM! Thanks! Gotta switch to the app as I run around!
	10:53am common: agreed, vp. with the show and the running soon
	10:54am Mike East: Yeah, I think so, Joe...that's Columbia U, right? I stopped on it cuz it sounded like it could be FMU and it was a while before the DJ came on to back announce.
	10:54am ?: Tomorrow with Future Yes guitarist Steve Howe
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great album & always glad if it's not 'My White Bicycle' again...
	10:56am Joe McG: @Mike: Yes, I used to listen quite often to their Sunday night Indian classical show. Thanks for reminding me!
	10:56am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: although this sounds pretty much like My White Bicycle.
	10:56am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: is it too early to eat a bag of jalapeño chips?
	10:57am P-90: KNEW it was only a matter of time until Steve Howe came into this!
	10:58am Polyus: All roads eventually lead back to Steve Howe.
	10:59am Bronwyn Bishop: Yay Hollies!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, still adjusting to this Monday malarkey.
	11:01am Joe McG: @Brian: Me, too! We'll get there.
	11:01am Mike East: nice @Joe! Will definitely remember that one. I usually head to BAI for olde timey radio at that time, but I wasn't into what they were playing last night. Its so great to have so many options, without even needing the internet!
	11:02am Jeff from Rahway: All this sitar is making me feel like I'm dining in one of those Indian restaurants on E. 6th street in the East Village (on drugs).
	11:02am Mike East: "For Fox Sake" - brilliant.
	11:03am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: yeah, you guys are lucky with all your good radio. We have jack doink down here...
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Joe, the sun is shinging outside, got me thinking of so many Sixties sounds. Original Nirvana, Dantalions Chariot. All the R'n B groups grew their hair and started wearing kaftans.
	11:05am Joe McG: Brian, I can't believe you just named the group I have cued up.
	11:06am Utopiast: 1970 was a great year for foxes
	11:06am Mike East: pretty much all country music and political talk down there, right, DC?
	11:08am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: not country. Use to have bluegrass but they replaced that with more talk. Every once in a while you can find some interesting Latin music or go go but usually not.
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: If memory serves I bought Heartful of Soul and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling on the same day. Early '65? What a great year, the music changed its shape and the LP became credible.
	11:11am Gaylord Fields: This show will lack for CanCon if there's no Poppy Family. You do want Canadians to like your show, don't you, Joe?
	11:12am Chris from DC: One or two overnights a week on one station there's good freeform jazz and experimental music on, but otherwise DC is a wasteland.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Gaylord: I have the first Poppy LP with me. Should I hit "Free from the City"?
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Joe, will there be a 'phasing' set? Did you folks call it that?
	11:12am P-90: @ Brian: Good call on Dantalian's Chariot, not a band we heard much here. And your comment about English R&B groups suddenly wearing kaftans and growing their hair sums up a huge chapter of rock evolution at a particular point.
	11:14am Brendan: WAMU used to have a great bluegrass/folk afternoon thing.
	11:14am MattBelow: I was hoping to hear a bit of C&J. Thanks for a fab show Joe!
	11:15am Joe McG: Thanks, MattB!
	11:15am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG: Yes, please! And thank you!
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Within You, Without You. Still stands the test of time, not much else on Sgt Pepper is up there. Took me years to realise the qualities of Revolver over Pepper..
	👻 11:17am Ken From Hyde Park: In these parts, Vassar's WVKR radio broadcasts a Hindi & Bollywood program on Saturday mornings. The Geet Mala show with DJ Padma. www.wvkr.org...
	11:18am Claw!: Poppies!
	11:18am herb.nyc: (Hi joe, oct chk in mail today!)
	11:18am MattBelow: @Brian in UK: Ever hear Norwegian Wood take 2 on bootlegs? www.youtube.com...
	11:19am V Priceless: Any Move in the remaining mix, Joe?
	11:20am βrian: Love the Poppy Family … but I forget why.
	11:21am Listener Alexandra: My dream of hearing "There's No Blood in Bone" remains...
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: @MattBelow will have a listen after the show. Thanks.
	11:21am bobdoesthings: for fox sake! i like it!
	11:23am ?: wikipedia says Dantalian's Chariot, a not o??
	11:24am Gaylord Fields: @Listener Alexandra: I hope I havent used up Joe's Poppy Family quota with my suggestion.
	11:26am P-90: There's been talk about a Tomorrow reunion in the works for a few years, btw. They're all on board, just have to work out the details. I have a feeling they'll stick to the UK, though.
	11:27am Joe McG: @?: Yeah, sorry, spelled it wrong. I'll fix it!
	11:28am Chris from DC: Good call on Clark-Hutchinson.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Joe, can you fix my spelling too, and make me handsome and have a good singing voice.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Brian: Done!
	11:33am Joe McG: Wow, thanks, guys, for making me reach my goal today! How exciting!!
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Congrats on the goal.
	11:34am Listener Alexandra: @gaylord: I hope not! @joe I didn't pledge for the Poppy Family, I promise ;-)
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Oh well one out of three is a start.
	11:34am Brendan: Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!
	11:35am Joe McG: @Alex: I don't mind! I wouldn't mind playing them every week! I'll get "Blood in Bone" on for you soon!
	11:35am Listener Alexandra: Joe, you rock my world.
	11:37am Joe McG: @Alex: :)
	11:38am P-90: Congratulations, Surface Noise and Joe McG! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, or a more consistently excellent show. Yip yip yip yip yip
	11:40am Guido from Cologne: Ah! Goal!
	11:40am Guido from Cologne: Congrats!
	11:42am Joe McG: Many thanks, folks!
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: When the white eagle of the North is overhead. Put up the umbrella.
	11:43am Brendan: Ah oh wise moody blues narrator guy.
	👻 11:44am doctorjazz: Ahhh, getting into a good place with the Moodys...haven't heard that one in ages Thanks for the great show.
	11:44am Ear Hammer: !!!!!!!!!! Goals met! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L show today.
	11:45am Joe McG: Thanks, guys!
	👻 11:47am tadpoles: Oi Joe haven't heard this Moodies in ages. Used to blow my mind. Ps sent a check to FMU by mail and requested your mix. Great show thanks.
	11:48am Utopiast: I can't tell you how many afternoons my mates and I spaced out to Moody Blues in hot humid Maryland in in 1972. I literally can't tell you. that is how much fun THAT was.
	11:48am ----\|d¢ (pät)\|----: OK, going to have to find an Indian food truck now..
	11:49am Brendan: Apu!
	11:49am Nellie: Amazing show and music...thank you!
	11:50am Claw!: Thanks, Joe! Nice show. :-)
	11:50am Chris from DC: dcp, weird,the trucks never come to my neighborhood, but the Indian truck is coming by today.
	11:51am ChrisB.: This has been a consistently great episode of Surface Noise. Archive gold, for certain.
	11:53am P-90: @d¢ pat: right? Indian truck a must-have after all this
	11:54am Brendan: This show has definitely informed my lunch snd dinner venue decisions.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody, and stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock. Special guest: Sweet Talk!
	11:55am Guido from Cologne: Thanks Joe and CU next week same board!

	11:59am ?: Namaste, dude!
	11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe! Perfect way to segue back into real life.
