	9:16am Uncle Michael: Joe, have you avoided Marathon Plague? You're well, I hope.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ah, nice! @Michael: So far, anyway, but I am not touching anything or breathing.
	9:20am sphere: Joe you could be star of the upcoming movie "DJ Inna Bubble."
	9:20am Utopiast: Good morning, Joe and animal lovers everywhere...
	9:20am Sean B.: Good morning Mr. McGasko & all. Spring has sprung!;And the rain here I don't mind.
	9:21am Cliff: "Stoned Crocodiles" is good background music for doing my taxes.
	9:21am Joe McG: @sphere: I can't be better than John Travolta, but I can try.
	9:26am MD: Late March/April Showers...then rain in June and flooding in July....the seas are rising!!!
	9:26am MD: Good Morning to all in the New Venice....
	9:27am Brendan: Trying to remember which album cover that had band members floating in bubbles.

	9:31am Sem Chumbo: Smell the Glove?
	9:34am DaveinPA: finally some high brow music in this jernt
	9:34am Brendan: Yes thats it! Also loved their cover In Rock of them on Mt Rushmore
	9:35am Polyus: Who Do We Think We Are indeed.
	9:35am DaveinPA: RIP brother Gil
	9:36am DaveinPA: I touched Bernard Purdie's hand once... just sayin'
	9:45am Sean B.: Always great to hear some Larry Young, he is never played enough; A great talent!.
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I was playing some Taj Mahal the other day, remembering how great a steel pan player that Robert Greenidge from Trini is.
	9:50am sinuendo: sounds a bit like Clutchy Hopkins
	9:50am Brendan: Making a steel drum looks like a fun (and challenging!) diy project: http://www.steelpan-steeldrums-information.com/make-steel-pans.html
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Hello Sem, I meant to ask you; have you been making that plaited chollah again?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: The master at work, the closest thing to steel pan improv. www.youtube.com...
	9:53am sphere: DUB
	9:54am Pat Byrne: You've done it, Joe. Gotten me to wake up on a Monday. Loving this set!
	9:56am Joe McG: @Pat: My work is done here! Time to clean out my desk. (Thanks, Pat!)
	9:56am tomasz.: well, look who it is
	9:58am Cecile: another great Phife Dawg tribute: www.ew.com...
	9:58am Ike: Who is it, then?
	10:00am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK, sure have. My baking tutor, in her 80's, has been feeling poorly and so getting plenty of practise turning out challah for her to critique, sort of a hobby of hers. I suppose you are tilling these days?
	10:00am sphere: who's zooming who?
	👻 10:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Future marathon premium idea: WFMU-emblazened Haz-Mat suits.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Sem, wish I was, trapped nerve in the arm has put a temporary stop to it. We had a very heavy storm last night and very wet Jan/Feb. I would like to try some pastry but do not have the patience. Having an expert is priceless.
	10:05am sinner: Joe can't do anything. He's on the air.
	10:06am Polyus: Recently picked up this Roberta record. Lovely stuff.
	10:07am Brendan: @Ken from HP, or Roberta Flak Jackets
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: I live in the middle of town and everyone has decided to come shopping on Easter Monday. Why would you? They could be grooving to this.
	10:09am MD: That's right Gurl...Don't you touch my Man!!!
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: @Ken like the suit David Byrne wore in Stop Making Sense?
	10:12am Cecile: Is that from the Aloha Got Soul blog? There had some good stuff.
	10:12am Cecile: this is a little CSNY for me, but it is beautifully produced and played.
	10:13am Parq: To steal an old MASH line, why would anyone need disco in Hawaii?
	10:15am Will: More fretless bass!
	10:17am Cecile: saddest fricking group ever
	10:18am sphere: wow this Poppy Family is craazy good.
	10:19am Cheri Pi: thanks for that CECILE
	10:19am dale: trippy poppy's. does anyone know how long the mt. hope signal will be 'compromised?'
	10:19am Cecile: Hola!
	10:20am Joe McG: @dale: It's giving us fits, we hope it's back soon!
	10:22am dale: it sounds 24 bit, but it's there, at least. better than listening to morning zoo crap in high quality.
	10:23am Uncle Michael: There's a Joe in the know.
	10:24am Uncle Michael: That's my Madman mondegreen.
	10:25am Listener Alexandra: You are the best, Joe!
	10:27am foofs: I'm not a religious man, but since the Bowie ordeal I pray every night for the continuing good health and long life of Elton John.
	10:28am fred: Madman Across the Water looks like a good soundtrack to my entrance, with my recent emails to Joe
	10:28am Cecile: If it's any relief, Elton ended his bad habits a long time before Bowie did. Bowie really didn't clean up his act until the early 90s.
	10:29am Cecile: then again, David Crosby will probably live until 200.
	10:29am Cecile: Heredity's a bitch.
	10:30am Brendan: Speaking of those two icons, Gus Dudgeon beautifully produced Madman (and Space Oddity)
	10:30am Ear Hammer: IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. Elton's corner!
	10:30am Cecile: that would be awesome, maybe you could still do it.
	10:31am Marc Francis: That was some intense cocaine production!
	10:31am Cecile: he has enough money and therapists to shield himself from any sly teasing you might offer.
	10:31am βrian: If the U.S. had first-world internet connectivity, would WFMU even have broadcast transmitters? (A big "if," I know.)
	10:32am KP: Have you seen the Pavarotti/James Brown video. Incredible
	10:33am tomasz.: i've heard about 3 DJs play stuff from that Nick Carter LP this week now, and every time i think, "wait, the guy from the Backstreet Boys?"
	10:34am tomasz.: SPOILER: no, not the guy from the Backstreet Boys
	10:34am Cecile: me too, Tomasz.
	10:34am Cecile: he did play in town recently. When I told some of the young ladies in my class about it, I think they all swooned a little.
	10:35am joe: 'ello folks
	10:35am Marc Francis: It's raining here in Hudson Quebec too. It's a miserable one!
	10:36am fred: @tomasz.: maybe the guy was once scared that being named Carter would mean he'd have to make clear he wasn't from that family. And now this
	10:36am Andrew Waterloo: I don't know the names of the guys from the Backstreet Boys.
	10:38am Cecile: I know too many of their names. I loved this until they started singing. Very good musicians.
	10:38am Andrew Waterloo: Boy band members usually just have names like blondie, beardie, future soloist, rebel, earring.
	10:39am sphere: In Gravity Falls, the boy bands were artificially created.
	10:39am Joe McG: @EH: No, I just couldn't do it! :)
	10:40am βrian: I had to look up Hudson, QC. How's life in Hudson?
	10:41am Cecile: damn, these guys need to be rediscovered.
	10:42am sphere: amen, Cecile, amen.
	10:42am Cecile: OH! Gene Chandler and Jerry Butler! I probably could find their stuff easy.
	10:43am Cecile: you could do a weekly corner of great Jerry Butler duets.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: Now you're talkin'!
	10:44am Joe McG: I still might do the Bad Elton Duets one day, but it will be a set instead of a weekly feature....
	10:45am Cecile: the Gene and Jerry album isn't on CD. Crazy. Uncle Derek!
	10:45am sphere: According to Discogs, the Cuban Heels were from Glasgow and were formed from the remains of Johnny and the Self Abusers (i kid you not).
	10:47am Joe McG: @sphere: Johnny and the Self Abusers featured Jim Kerr, who went on to Simple Minds!
	10:47am Polyus: Johnny & The Self Abusers also gave birth to Simple Minds, did they not?
	10:48am Ear Hammer: The people have spoken! Make Elton's Duet Corner happen!
	10:48am βrian: @Polyus: gotta wonder about the logistics for that.
	10:49am Joe McG: @EH: Ha! We'll see! :)
	10:50am Ear Hammer: Elyse.... Nice pick. Would be curious to hear what's on the other side of this.
	10:50am Scott McDowell: Love this tune!
	10:50am Joe McG: @EH: "Simpleminded Harlequin"! Hi, Scott!!
	10:56am Cecile: oh, god this is Poppy Family territory
	10:56am Joe McG: @Cecile: I love "In the Ghetto" rip-offs!
	10:57am βrian: Sure, you like it now, but have you played it backward yet?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brian: I can't. Satan will speak to me.
	10:58am Cecile: I think Satan made that record.
	10:59am Joe McG: Happy spring!
	10:59am sinuendo: this has a 'damn it, janet' vibe
	10:59am Cheri Pi: its witch rock voice.
	11:01am βrian: Why is there no backwards-play function on iTunes? I'm sure it would sell well in Red State Amurika.
	11:01am Listener Alexandra: This might even be better than the Poppy Family, Joe...
	11:02am Joe McG: @Alex: Impossible!
	11:03am Cecile: this reminds me of my summation of the horn rock themes on Tony's show last November: Themes: I need to live my life Don't stop me from living my life I don't need to be tied down Society wants to tie me down and stop living my life I just moved out of my folks's house and am riding cross country on a painted pony. You are a fine woman but don't tie me down and make me stop living my life. You may, however, ride my painted pony. Both literally and figuratively
	11:04am Listener Alexandra: Okay, you got me there ;-)
	11:04am just dc pat: no this I like..
	11:04am Joe McG: @Cecile: Very nice!
	11:04am DaveinPA: Surface Noise
	11:04am Cecile: tell me this is three minutes of blank grooves. That would be awesome.
	11:05am JtotheK: @Cecile this would be a very interesting disco party!
	11:05am just dc pat: +w
	11:05am Joe McG: @Cecile: You guessed it!
	11:05am Rich in Washington: Christian Marclay's Record Without A Cover
	11:05am Marc Francis: βrian: Today is rainy and wet. All the snow is melting. Life is pretty great here though. It's a funny little town and we are just outside of Montreal. We really lucked out finding a place here! Where are you at?
	11:05am Brendan: Bodily function time
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Have you got World War Two Noises by The Ronettes?
	11:06am DaveinPA: marcel marceau?
	11:06am Guido from Cologne: Hm, someone should de-crackle this beautifuil recording!
	11:06am JakeGould: Loving this lead out surface noise.
	11:06am Marcel M: Hah... I just tuned back in and thought I left my turntable going.
	11:06am DaveinPA: Zombie Apocalypse?
	11:06am Cliff: Heh, and I thought there was something wrong with the stream
	11:07am Brendan: Joes leaving an upper for Joe B
	11:07am Brendan: Upper decker
	11:09am Cliff: Excellent mix and production there, for sure
	11:09am Listener Scott: Thought maybe Joe was out in the hallway with the Polygram payola rep exchanging drugs for airplay, and forgetting that Midnight Confessions isn't as long as Stairway to Heaven.
	11:12am βrian: @Marc: Entre les lacs Mendota et Monona à Wisconsin. Blues skies today; they're probably on your way, since the SL seaway is effectively downstream weather-wise.
	11:12am fred: A couple of weeks ago, I saw a DJ set that mostly involved surface noise. Not surprising as the DJs were the minds behind Artkillart and Phonotopy. It was a great set too
	11:14am βrian: If you're not into computers, you can donate via your abacus. Or slide-rule, I guess.
	11:15am Marcel M: EY! We gotta very famous group ova hea!
	11:16am Cliff: I actually have a slide-rule, it was my grandfather's from when he was a civil engineer in the 50's and 60's
	11:16am Cecile: Please to note: www.metalsucks.net...
	11:16am Marcel M: Oh man I love this song and record, Joe. I was very happily surprised by it when it came out.
	11:17am Marcel M: I'm catching them in BK on Wed.
	11:18am Joe McG: @Marcel: People tend to forget that they recorded a lot of cool stuff after 1974 or whatever!
	11:18am Marcel M: @Joe: Indeed!
	11:18am Cecile: A record I reviewed about 3-4 years ago was mindbending and excellent.
	11:18am Marc Francis: βrian: Woop! Can't wait. Although between all the snow melting and Joe McGaskos beautiful show - this rainy day really isn't so bad.
	11:20am Polyus: If you know how to knit, Faust will probably invite you to sit onstage with them.
	11:22am Joe McG: @Marc: Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the show.
	11:24am Cecile: yeah, Joe, you are not tying me down or stopping me from living my life. RIGHT ON.
	11:25am common: my mind is bent. hey joe and all!
	11:27am βrian: Common, when do we get a ride in that fine hooptie?
	11:33am Dean: What? Goat's Head Soup was reissued on Virgin?
	11:34am Sem Chumbo: Oh,oh, Loretta!
	11:35am sue a: holy crap i heard this on the radio last week in PA. :-)
	11:35am Parq: Never heard this Loretta. Got a really tough sound -- I could have mistaken it for a Lucinda Williams track.
	11:36am just dc pat: New Loretta Lynn?
	11:36am Brendan: Great dry country wit
	11:36am Joe McG: Brand-new Loretta and sounding swell!
	11:37am just dc pat: I'll say, right on Loretta.
	11:37am Marc Francis: Damned. That is one pissed off Loretta.
	11:37am Dean: Country Western lyrics are obsessed with chiasmus.
	11:38am Mick: That Loretta does sound great! Thanks for playing
	11:38am Ear Hammer: This set is a lot of things... I second Sem's sentiment "Oh,oh, Loretta!"
	11:39am Dean: But then so is the old Band-Aid jingle.
	11:41am Parq: Dean, music is based on repetition, and so, much of it has repetition as its basis. And thanks (no sarcasm) for the vocab lesson.
	11:41am ChrisB.: I love it when Country Joe drops by.
	11:41am Sem Chumbo: ditto.
	11:42am Cecile: Are things going to pick up emotionally a little bit, or should I just put Dio on the the headphones and be done with it? I'm just not in a great place today, and I can certainly use a blast of "the last in line"
	11:42am Cecile: also, my dad loved this song which is messing with my head today.
	11:43am Cecile: eh, I didn't need to burden you with this. Off to the Ipod.
	11:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: Sorry, Cecile, no Dio here ever.
	11:44am common: i'm drivin' over, brian. last in line sounds good, cecile!
	11:44am Brendan: I wonder why he chose the stage name Twitty
	11:44am Dean: Parq, repetition is indeed a crucial component of music, to my ear best analyzed and put to effect by The Fall in their eponymous "Repetition." But chiasmus is the Klein bottle of repetition, no? It keeps turning back inside itself. Not sure why Country Western lyrics get such a charge out of the form.
	11:44am Matt ww: <3
	11:44am just dc pat: Harry!
	11:45am Sem Chumbo: What a gem this is.
	11:45am Cecile: no, I didn't want you to play Dio. I am just a bad mood that can't be fixed except for large doses of Dio, Priest, Kvelertak, and Torche
	11:46am Ear Hammer: patiently awaiting some kind of cover of... "she still thinks I care"
	11:46am Cecile: I'm off to the witch. Later!
	11:46am ?: Cheesey and lovely at the same time! Thank ahm gonna cry. (Campbell & Ford)
	11:46am annie: i had to log back in to say: HDS!!!! priceless!!! oh cecile tell us what you think of it, i saw it last week.
	11:46am Marc Francis: Oh my. Harry Dean Stanton.
	11:47am Mick: This HDS is kind of amazing. Must track down the movie.
	11:47am joe: I had no idea the man even made music
	11:48am Cecile: Also, Joe, I'll send you a link of Ronnie's doo-wop era that will blow your mind. Doesn't sound like the same guy as all, but still fantastic singing.
	11:49am geezerette: Classy.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Cecile: I've played one of those, and Elf, too, but his metal stuff I can't bear.
	11:50am Brendan: Willie's guitar will die before he ever does
	11:50am geegee vindaloo: Joe, I'm signing divorce papers today and this set is making me cry!
	11:51am Engineer in the booth: Wile? Willie, the mike is on the other side of the chair. Willie, turn around, please?
	11:51am Joe McG: I'm so sorry, geegee! It will get better, I promise.
	11:52am just dc pat: I haven't heard the Long Ryders since....1984?
	11:52am Rich in Washington: It's kind of amusing that Harry Dean Stanton's facebook page is currently being admin'd by some - possible drunk - right wing crank hole.
	11:52am Brendan: What Joe said geegee
	11:53am SeanG: hot riff
	11:53am Greg from ZONE 5: Bet The Hold Steady liked these dudes a lot…
	11:54am geegee vindaloo: Thanks, it's actually one of those deep beautiful moments too. (thanks!)
	11:54am Joe McG: Sorry, folks, this song sounded so good to me I'm finishing the show by playing it twice--Joe B. will be here soon!!
	11:55am Greg from ZONE 5: Freedom is freeform, Joe!
	11:55am Marc Francis: THANK YOU JOE!!!!!
	11:55am ChrisB.: Anthology is a great 2CD Long Ryders retrospective.
	11:55am Roberto: Twice is nice.
	11:55am Marc Francis: We were just talking about how amazing it was!
	11:56am Cliff: I'm perfectly ok with that, Joe
	11:56am Mick: A-ok Joe!
	11:56am Cecile: Joe, that is A-OK. Everyone doesn't have to like everything.
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great week!
	11:57am Engineer in the booth: No, Willie, it's all right, Joe really is playing the same track twice.
	11:57am Cliff: Thanks for the show today!
	11:58am βrian: I lament that the Drummer Stream is jockey-free midday.

	9:20am sphere: Joe you could be star of the upcoming movie "DJ Inna Bubble."
	9:20am Utopiast: Good morning, Joe and animal lovers everywhere...
	9:20am Sean B.: Good morning Mr. McGasko & all. Spring has sprung!;And the rain here I don't mind.

	9:21am Joe McG: @sphere: I can't be better than John Travolta, but I can try.
	9:26am MD: Late March/April Showers...then rain in June and flooding in July....the seas are rising!!!

	9:36am DaveinPA: I touched Bernard Purdie's hand once... just sayin'
	9:45am Sean B.: Always great to hear some Larry Young, he is never played enough; A great talent!.
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I was playing some Taj Mahal the other day, remembering how great a steel pan player that Robert Greenidge from Trini is.
	9:50am sinuendo: sounds a bit like Clutchy Hopkins
	9:50am Brendan: Making a steel drum looks like a fun (and challenging!) diy project: http://www.steelpan-steeldrums-information.com/make-steel-pans.html
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Hello Sem, I meant to ask you; have you been making that plaited chollah again?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: The master at work, the closest thing to steel pan improv. www.youtube.com...
	9:53am sphere: DUB
	9:54am Pat Byrne: You've done it, Joe. Gotten me to wake up on a Monday. Loving this set!
	9:56am Joe McG: @Pat: My work is done here! Time to clean out my desk. (Thanks, Pat!)
	9:56am tomasz.: well, look who it is
	9:58am Cecile: another great Phife Dawg tribute: www.ew.com...
	9:58am Ike: Who is it, then?
	10:00am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK, sure have. My baking tutor, in her 80's, has been feeling poorly and so getting plenty of practise turning out challah for her to critique, sort of a hobby of hers. I suppose you are tilling these days?
	10:00am sphere: who's zooming who?
	👻 10:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Future marathon premium idea: WFMU-emblazened Haz-Mat suits.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Sem, wish I was, trapped nerve in the arm has put a temporary stop to it. We had a very heavy storm last night and very wet Jan/Feb. I would like to try some pastry but do not have the patience. Having an expert is priceless.
	10:05am sinner: Joe can't do anything. He's on the air.
	10:06am Polyus: Recently picked up this Roberta record. Lovely stuff.
	10:07am Brendan: @Ken from HP, or Roberta Flak Jackets
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: I live in the middle of town and everyone has decided to come shopping on Easter Monday. Why would you? They could be grooving to this.
	10:09am MD: That's right Gurl...Don't you touch my Man!!!
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: @Ken like the suit David Byrne wore in Stop Making Sense?
	10:12am Cecile: Is that from the Aloha Got Soul blog? There had some good stuff.
	10:12am Cecile: this is a little CSNY for me, but it is beautifully produced and played.
	10:13am Parq: To steal an old MASH line, why would anyone need disco in Hawaii?
	10:15am Will: More fretless bass!
	10:17am Cecile: saddest fricking group ever
	10:18am sphere: wow this Poppy Family is craazy good.
	10:19am Cheri Pi: thanks for that CECILE
	10:19am dale: trippy poppy's. does anyone know how long the mt. hope signal will be 'compromised?'
	10:19am Cecile: Hola!
	10:20am Joe McG: @dale: It's giving us fits, we hope it's back soon!
	10:22am dale: it sounds 24 bit, but it's there, at least. better than listening to morning zoo crap in high quality.
	10:23am Uncle Michael: There's a Joe in the know.
	10:24am Uncle Michael: That's my Madman mondegreen.
	10:25am Listener Alexandra: You are the best, Joe!
	10:27am foofs: I'm not a religious man, but since the Bowie ordeal I pray every night for the continuing good health and long life of Elton John.
	10:28am fred: Madman Across the Water looks like a good soundtrack to my entrance, with my recent emails to Joe
	10:28am Cecile: If it's any relief, Elton ended his bad habits a long time before Bowie did. Bowie really didn't clean up his act until the early 90s.
	10:29am Cecile: then again, David Crosby will probably live until 200.
	10:29am Cecile: Heredity's a bitch.
	10:30am Brendan: Speaking of those two icons, Gus Dudgeon beautifully produced Madman (and Space Oddity)
	10:30am Ear Hammer: IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. Elton's corner!
	10:30am Cecile: that would be awesome, maybe you could still do it.
	10:31am Marc Francis: That was some intense cocaine production!
	10:31am Cecile: he has enough money and therapists to shield himself from any sly teasing you might offer.
	10:31am βrian: If the U.S. had first-world internet connectivity, would WFMU even have broadcast transmitters? (A big "if," I know.)
	10:32am KP: Have you seen the Pavarotti/James Brown video. Incredible
	10:33am tomasz.: i've heard about 3 DJs play stuff from that Nick Carter LP this week now, and every time i think, "wait, the guy from the Backstreet Boys?"
	10:34am tomasz.: SPOILER: no, not the guy from the Backstreet Boys
	10:34am Cecile: me too, Tomasz.
	10:34am Cecile: he did play in town recently. When I told some of the young ladies in my class about it, I think they all swooned a little.
	10:35am joe: 'ello folks
	10:35am Marc Francis: It's raining here in Hudson Quebec too. It's a miserable one!
	10:36am fred: @tomasz.: maybe the guy was once scared that being named Carter would mean he'd have to make clear he wasn't from that family. And now this
	10:36am Andrew Waterloo: I don't know the names of the guys from the Backstreet Boys.
	10:38am Cecile: I know too many of their names. I loved this until they started singing. Very good musicians.
	10:38am Andrew Waterloo: Boy band members usually just have names like blondie, beardie, future soloist, rebel, earring.
	10:39am sphere: In Gravity Falls, the boy bands were artificially created.
	10:39am Joe McG: @EH: No, I just couldn't do it! :)
	10:40am βrian: I had to look up Hudson, QC. How's life in Hudson?
	10:41am Cecile: damn, these guys need to be rediscovered.
	10:42am sphere: amen, Cecile, amen.
	10:42am Cecile: OH! Gene Chandler and Jerry Butler! I probably could find their stuff easy.
	10:43am Cecile: you could do a weekly corner of great Jerry Butler duets.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: Now you're talkin'!
	10:44am Joe McG: I still might do the Bad Elton Duets one day, but it will be a set instead of a weekly feature....
	10:45am Cecile: the Gene and Jerry album isn't on CD. Crazy. Uncle Derek!
	10:45am sphere: According to Discogs, the Cuban Heels were from Glasgow and were formed from the remains of Johnny and the Self Abusers (i kid you not).
	10:47am Joe McG: @sphere: Johnny and the Self Abusers featured Jim Kerr, who went on to Simple Minds!
	10:47am Polyus: Johnny & The Self Abusers also gave birth to Simple Minds, did they not?
	10:48am Ear Hammer: The people have spoken! Make Elton's Duet Corner happen!
	10:48am βrian: @Polyus: gotta wonder about the logistics for that.
	10:49am Joe McG: @EH: Ha! We'll see! :)
	10:50am Ear Hammer: Elyse.... Nice pick. Would be curious to hear what's on the other side of this.
	10:50am Scott McDowell: Love this tune!
	10:50am Joe McG: @EH: "Simpleminded Harlequin"! Hi, Scott!!
	10:56am Cecile: oh, god this is Poppy Family territory
	10:56am Joe McG: @Cecile: I love "In the Ghetto" rip-offs!
	10:57am βrian: Sure, you like it now, but have you played it backward yet?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brian: I can't. Satan will speak to me.
	10:58am Cecile: I think Satan made that record.
	10:59am Joe McG: Happy spring!
	10:59am sinuendo: this has a 'damn it, janet' vibe
	10:59am Cheri Pi: its witch rock voice.
	11:01am βrian: Why is there no backwards-play function on iTunes? I'm sure it would sell well in Red State Amurika.
	11:01am Listener Alexandra: This might even be better than the Poppy Family, Joe...
	11:02am Joe McG: @Alex: Impossible!
	11:03am Cecile: this reminds me of my summation of the horn rock themes on Tony's show last November: Themes: I need to live my life Don't stop me from living my life I don't need to be tied down Society wants to tie me down and stop living my life I just moved out of my folks's house and am riding cross country on a painted pony. You are a fine woman but don't tie me down and make me stop living my life. You may, however, ride my painted pony. Both literally and figuratively
	11:04am Listener Alexandra: Okay, you got me there ;-)
	11:04am just dc pat: no this I like..
	11:04am Joe McG: @Cecile: Very nice!
	11:04am DaveinPA: Surface Noise
	11:04am Cecile: tell me this is three minutes of blank grooves. That would be awesome.
	11:05am JtotheK: @Cecile this would be a very interesting disco party!
	11:05am just dc pat: +w
	11:05am Joe McG: @Cecile: You guessed it!
	11:05am Rich in Washington: Christian Marclay's Record Without A Cover
	11:05am Marc Francis: βrian: Today is rainy and wet. All the snow is melting. Life is pretty great here though. It's a funny little town and we are just outside of Montreal. We really lucked out finding a place here! Where are you at?
	11:05am Brendan: Bodily function time
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Have you got World War Two Noises by The Ronettes?
	11:06am DaveinPA: marcel marceau?
	11:06am Guido from Cologne: Hm, someone should de-crackle this beautifuil recording!
	11:06am JakeGould: Loving this lead out surface noise.
	11:06am Marcel M: Hah... I just tuned back in and thought I left my turntable going.
	11:06am DaveinPA: Zombie Apocalypse?
	11:06am Cliff: Heh, and I thought there was something wrong with the stream
	11:07am Brendan: Joes leaving an upper for Joe B
	11:07am Brendan: Upper decker
	11:09am Cliff: Excellent mix and production there, for sure
	11:09am Listener Scott: Thought maybe Joe was out in the hallway with the Polygram payola rep exchanging drugs for airplay, and forgetting that Midnight Confessions isn't as long as Stairway to Heaven.
	11:12am βrian: @Marc: Entre les lacs Mendota et Monona à Wisconsin. Blues skies today; they're probably on your way, since the SL seaway is effectively downstream weather-wise.
	11:12am fred: A couple of weeks ago, I saw a DJ set that mostly involved surface noise. Not surprising as the DJs were the minds behind Artkillart and Phonotopy. It was a great set too
	11:14am βrian: If you're not into computers, you can donate via your abacus. Or slide-rule, I guess.
	11:15am Marcel M: EY! We gotta very famous group ova hea!
	11:16am Cliff: I actually have a slide-rule, it was my grandfather's from when he was a civil engineer in the 50's and 60's
	11:16am Cecile: Please to note: www.metalsucks.net...
	11:16am Marcel M: Oh man I love this song and record, Joe. I was very happily surprised by it when it came out.
	11:17am Marcel M: I'm catching them in BK on Wed.
	11:18am Joe McG: @Marcel: People tend to forget that they recorded a lot of cool stuff after 1974 or whatever!
	11:18am Marcel M: @Joe: Indeed!
	11:18am Cecile: A record I reviewed about 3-4 years ago was mindbending and excellent.
	11:18am Marc Francis: βrian: Woop! Can't wait. Although between all the snow melting and Joe McGaskos beautiful show - this rainy day really isn't so bad.
	11:20am Polyus: If you know how to knit, Faust will probably invite you to sit onstage with them.
	11:22am Joe McG: @Marc: Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the show.
	11:24am Cecile: yeah, Joe, you are not tying me down or stopping me from living my life. RIGHT ON.
	11:25am common: my mind is bent. hey joe and all!
	11:27am βrian: Common, when do we get a ride in that fine hooptie?
	11:33am Dean: What? Goat's Head Soup was reissued on Virgin?
	11:34am Sem Chumbo: Oh,oh, Loretta!
	11:35am sue a: holy crap i heard this on the radio last week in PA. :-)
	11:35am Parq: Never heard this Loretta. Got a really tough sound -- I could have mistaken it for a Lucinda Williams track.
	11:36am just dc pat: New Loretta Lynn?
	11:36am Brendan: Great dry country wit
	11:36am Joe McG: Brand-new Loretta and sounding swell!
	11:37am just dc pat: I'll say, right on Loretta.
	11:37am Marc Francis: Damned. That is one pissed off Loretta.
	11:37am Dean: Country Western lyrics are obsessed with chiasmus.
	11:38am Mick: That Loretta does sound great! Thanks for playing
	11:38am Ear Hammer: This set is a lot of things... I second Sem's sentiment "Oh,oh, Loretta!"
	11:39am Dean: But then so is the old Band-Aid jingle.
	11:41am Parq: Dean, music is based on repetition, and so, much of it has repetition as its basis. And thanks (no sarcasm) for the vocab lesson.
	11:41am ChrisB.: I love it when Country Joe drops by.
	11:41am Sem Chumbo: ditto.
	11:42am Cecile: Are things going to pick up emotionally a little bit, or should I just put Dio on the the headphones and be done with it? I'm just not in a great place today, and I can certainly use a blast of "the last in line"
	11:42am Cecile: also, my dad loved this song which is messing with my head today.
	11:43am Cecile: eh, I didn't need to burden you with this. Off to the Ipod.
	11:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: Sorry, Cecile, no Dio here ever.
	11:44am common: i'm drivin' over, brian. last in line sounds good, cecile!
	11:44am Brendan: I wonder why he chose the stage name Twitty
	11:44am Dean: Parq, repetition is indeed a crucial component of music, to my ear best analyzed and put to effect by The Fall in their eponymous "Repetition." But chiasmus is the Klein bottle of repetition, no? It keeps turning back inside itself. Not sure why Country Western lyrics get such a charge out of the form.
	11:44am Matt ww: <3
	11:44am just dc pat: Harry!
	11:45am Sem Chumbo: What a gem this is.
	11:45am Cecile: no, I didn't want you to play Dio. I am just a bad mood that can't be fixed except for large doses of Dio, Priest, Kvelertak, and Torche
	11:46am Ear Hammer: patiently awaiting some kind of cover of... "she still thinks I care"
	11:46am Cecile: I'm off to the witch. Later!
	11:46am ?: Cheesey and lovely at the same time! Thank ahm gonna cry. (Campbell & Ford)
	11:46am annie: i had to log back in to say: HDS!!!! priceless!!! oh cecile tell us what you think of it, i saw it last week.
	11:46am Marc Francis: Oh my. Harry Dean Stanton.
	11:47am Mick: This HDS is kind of amazing. Must track down the movie.
	11:47am joe: I had no idea the man even made music
	11:48am Cecile: Also, Joe, I'll send you a link of Ronnie's doo-wop era that will blow your mind. Doesn't sound like the same guy as all, but still fantastic singing.
	11:49am geezerette: Classy.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Cecile: I've played one of those, and Elf, too, but his metal stuff I can't bear.
	11:50am Brendan: Willie's guitar will die before he ever does
	11:50am geegee vindaloo: Joe, I'm signing divorce papers today and this set is making me cry!
	11:51am Engineer in the booth: Wile? Willie, the mike is on the other side of the chair. Willie, turn around, please?
	11:51am Joe McG: I'm so sorry, geegee! It will get better, I promise.
	11:52am just dc pat: I haven't heard the Long Ryders since....1984?
	11:52am Rich in Washington: It's kind of amusing that Harry Dean Stanton's facebook page is currently being admin'd by some - possible drunk - right wing crank hole.
	11:52am Brendan: What Joe said geegee
	11:53am SeanG: hot riff
	11:53am Greg from ZONE 5: Bet The Hold Steady liked these dudes a lot…
	11:54am geegee vindaloo: Thanks, it's actually one of those deep beautiful moments too. (thanks!)
	11:54am Joe McG: Sorry, folks, this song sounded so good to me I'm finishing the show by playing it twice--Joe B. will be here soon!!
	11:55am Greg from ZONE 5: Freedom is freeform, Joe!
	11:55am Marc Francis: THANK YOU JOE!!!!!
	11:55am ChrisB.: Anthology is a great 2CD Long Ryders retrospective.
	11:55am Roberto: Twice is nice.
	11:55am Marc Francis: We were just talking about how amazing it was!
	11:56am Cliff: I'm perfectly ok with that, Joe
	11:56am Mick: A-ok Joe!
	11:56am Cecile: Joe, that is A-OK. Everyone doesn't have to like everything.
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great week!
	11:57am Engineer in the booth: No, Willie, it's all right, Joe really is playing the same track twice.
	11:57am Cliff: Thanks for the show today!
	11:58am βrian: I lament that the Drummer Stream is jockey-free midday.
