	9:35am Asheville Jon: i feel a binge watching of original Hawaii Five-O episodes coming on!
	9:38am annie: that's a great idea, Jon, it can erase the shows i'm watching now: "Cheers". season one is over and i was bored by the third episode..
	9:38am sphere: Don't forget Magnum PI! Hello.
	👻 9:38am doctorjazz: Cool set!
	9:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: .. & from them FreeForm pirates - we shall score that swag ... Tho if we on Hawaiian Time - there be a laidback lag... You must pressure Joe McGasko: responsible Capricorn - if you just ask - you'll - find he's the Good Cop for them FMUvians - you know he'll sail thru any storm @ sea - with dulcet delivery ... Tho it may take a short while - just queue up that Single File....
	👻 9:39am Webhamster Henry: Back in the 80s or early 90s, David Garland of WNYC's Spinning On Air did a whole show of nothing but Hawaiian War chants.
	9:40am Mandy: I love this music so much. thank you!
	👻 9:41am Webhamster Henry: Back then it was really unusual; here on WFMU, that kind of show happens about once a month, and one of Mary Wing's weekly sets is devoted to "Three of a Kind", where the "Three" is interpreted very loosely.
	9:42am annie: there is a George Clooney movie called "The Descendants", nice vistas of the islands and a topical theme: how to handle the family members who want to sell your land..if i went to hawai'i i'd take aboat.
	9:44am steveo: Gene Bianco! Always loved this and wondered what it is.
	9:45am mike tp: hello to the deep peaceful folk in the wfmu family.
	9:48am dano59: Arthur Lyman's entire oeuvre (Leis of Jazz especially) and Santo y Johnny's Hawaii are among my faves Joe
	👻 9:48am tadpoles: Kudos #Webmaster Henry....I remember hearing that show...it was tons of versions of "Hawaiian War Chant"! He also had Irwin on a few times.
	9:49am Snoochienucci: whoa, we lost internet connection for a minute, which means no radio! scary stuff. im back now thou. good morning Joe!
	9:51am annie: one of the saddest things to happen tome when i was a kid was the fading battery on my transistor radio..first timeit happened i thought i had broken it..
	9:53am nardo: Hey all and Joe. Like that Sacred Paws as well! Puts me in mind of The English Beat among other things.
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: My trip to Hawaii was in a January. Hiked up to the summit of Mauna Loa and down the next day. I thought it'd be an ironic way to die if I got lost and froze to death in Hawaii. Also, visited the outhouse at night and noticed that, due to the high elevation, the stars were not twinkling.
	9:54am Brendan: This Summer Girl has a Walk on the Wild Side feel
	9:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: They gave Lou Reed a writing credit!
	9:55am TheLoneliestMonk: not usually a haim fan, but that tune was damn catchy!
	9:56am Joe McG: @LM: Me neither, but I really like that song a lot!
	9:57am annie: @KenFHP: our community lost one of our young people out there; went hiking and never was seen again.
	10:00am TheLoneliestMonk: @ken is that where the observatory is?
	👻 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: How awful, annie. Mauna Kea has the telescopes, TLM.
	👻 10:05am Webhamster Henry: I wonder if Dan Bodah is listening to this show - the Vocals are pretty amazing!
	10:06am Davee: Cool beans
	10:07am Passaic River Blues: Just received this and my other premiums on Saturday! Very excited for this Trouble anthology.
	10:07am annie: it was so long ago ken, his spirit still wanders there, i'm sure.
	10:09am TheLoneliestMonk: @ken do they take civilians on tours there, or is it closed to the public? was always curious about a snow capped peak in hawaii...
	10:10am Joe McG: @PRB: Great news! We're still sending swag, everyone, so if you didn't get your goodies yet, don't despair.
	10:12am annie: my swag almost invariably shows up in mid-august.. ishould know better by now..
	10:13am βrian: We got our swag: imgur.com...
	10:14am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: when you're doing monthly contributions, will the webpage just let you pick stuff?
	10:15am Joe McG: @LM: If you don't pick it at the same time you make the pledge, no. If you are already enrolled, we send you a special link to pick before the next fundraiser.
	👻 10:15am Webhamster Henry: WFMU Comps are distilled and aged Musical liqueur!
	10:17am Brendan: Proud owner of Joe’s and Fabio’s premiums ( puffing chest).
	10:17am Hubig Pie: I think Hollyridge is a tough neighborhood.
	10:18am DroneTree: Got my swag months ago!
	10:18am Joe McG: @Brendan: I love Fabio's premium this year! Mine's OK. ;)
	👻 10:18am tadpoles: I'm looking forward to Irwin's 2020 calendar!
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: Is this a compilation special?
	10:23am Joe McG: @Brian: Guess you can tell who's been listening to his new WFMU marathon premiums.
	10:23am Joe McG: @tadpoles: It's a beaut!
	10:24am The Butterman: OMG, I have the BEST Bappi Lahiri related story that is too long to tell here!
	10:25am Joe McG: @Butterman: Oh, you can't do that! We've got all the space you need. :)
	10:25am Brendan: Joe, I requested your premium but this showed up instead: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/9IL7XUB8L22L8PgcBU4wGbV8tQTROEKgB7HgyVvnjNghc4MmydwszJzomd1VyWYML4_Zq1WBKnstqvdSOxrichPEHCMjBny3DvX15Ab2-4ifHMbwn-OClZg-6OGf8AyMj3kaWSiDXa8ATksO1b5Au0pVyvJl9CQ1_8OmkNOMi4JGvZOAyZK16Kcufs3Oanw89NKwfxRzpGshBDnnO1WM=s600-pd-e365-pc0xffffff
	10:25am Hubig Pie: In -a-Bhagavad-Gita
	10:26am Brendan: Crazy post office
	10:26am steveo: all that fabio talk made me think the first note of this talkover music was mr. giant man :)
	10:26am Davee: I'm feeling sluggish for some reason
	10:30am Asheville Jon: is this a slowed down version of 'kiss you all over' by exile?
	10:31am βrian: "Dick double-tracking." There's your mantra for the day.
	10:32am Brendan: @Asheville Jon , I always thought this bed sounded like a slowed down version of Strokin’
	10:34am rx scabin: SacredPaws is a must see live. I saw them at MERGE30 and they blew the place up. They were born for this.
	10:34am Joe McG: @rx: I've gotta see them, I love their record.
	10:36am βrian: I once had a cat with sacred paws. 24 toes in all. That girl could walk on water, or snow, to be exact.
	10:36am Mr. Palchepo.: John Entwistle (so?) was so weird.
	10:36am Mr. Palchepo.: Sp?
	10:37am TheLoneliestMonk: pad data just came back on the app
	10:38am steveo: "[Summertime Blues] has not been played since the death of bassist John Entwistle in 2002"
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Joe, after last years Paris jaunt; do you have any further plans for European travel? I am guessing that it is a bit soon.
	10:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Maybe! Fingers crossed. I only have one more 45 from Paris that I haven't played yet after Sylvie.
	10:40am The Butterman: I have been obsessed with Bappi Lahiri since I first heard Bombay Disco cd on WFMU. After a couple of years I’m a birthday party at my sons friends house. It was a multi generational Indian family. I’m an artist so The father and bro in law bring me to the basement to see a drawing he was working on ( as a hobby) and I see a keyboard set up. So I tell him that I’m really into music, Indiana classical, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s Bollywood and anything related to Bappi Lahiri. Well this guy and his brother in law start screaming to each other “oh my he knows Bappi Lahiri, he knows Bappi Lahiri! They were ridiculously excited.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Butterman: I like that story! And cool that you were turned on the music by FMU!
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Joe, there is still a lot of life in those singles. Flip sides, wrong speed, backwards!!!
	10:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, I'm going to have to start re-playing some of the ones I used to play when I first started the show. A lot of them haven't been played in years.
	10:45am The Butterman: Well, now I get that excited anytime the name Bappi Lahiri is spoken! I KNOW BAPPI LAHIRI!!!!!!!!
	10:46am pantz: That "Steel Guitar Rag" started out with the old "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" riff.
	10:47am The Butterman: And the drawing he wanted to show me was of an Native American woman’(Indian as we were taught growing up) posing next to a horse. I found this so ironic!
	👻 10:49am tim from champaign: Hi Joe and everybody! Time to boogie!
	10:50am Joe McG: @pantz: I heard that! Also kinda weird to do a steel guitar rag cover and not have a steel guitar on it!
	10:50am pantz: Ha! Yeah. Didn't notice that.
	👻 10:54am Webhamster Henry: This the singalog part of the how!
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign: Can't go wrong with Burt Bacharach.
	10:55am Joe McG: @tim: "What Would Burt Do?"
	👻 10:56am Webhamster Henry: Burt and Angie would "Say Yes!"
	👻 10:56am tadpoles: Excellent Joe...I remember Mari Wilson singing a great version of "Are You There" in the early '80's. Very neat.
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign: @Joe - if in doubt, just walk on by.
	10:57am Hubig Pie: Burt would say a little prayer for you
	10:57am Joe McG: Ha ha, keep the Burt comin'!
	👻 10:59am Webhamster Henry: "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?" << smells like suet.
	11:02am ?: Hi Joe, I've always heard it and said it Duh-LAYNE-ee
	11:03am frenchee: oops, that was frenchee weighing in
	11:04am KP in DC: True fact: Felix Pappliardi’s wife killed him because he invited Leslie West over for dinner.
	11:05am frenchee: whaaaat?
	11:07am βrian: A Kenny G segment??
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign: Maybe call this the "duet nuisance" segment - haha!
	11:09am Brendan: Whoa ...you scared me mentioning torture at 11 am.
	👻 11:09am Webhamster Henry: It's a Hard Business: Rosemary Clooney & Wild Man Fischer
	11:10am Mandy: more handclaps pls
	11:10am sphere: Um, yeah.
	11:10am Joe McG: "Duet Nuisance" is a good title! I was considering "Ebony and Ivory - Oh Lord, Why?" But I like several of these records, so that sounds a bit sour.
	11:11am Asheville Jon: holy cow, haven't heard this since the 80's. trying to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
	11:11am melinda: One day while walking on a wooded trail I thought about Ebony and Ivory and how totally lame it was, analogy-wise.
	11:11am pantz: How about "Don't Duet"?
	11:11am sphere: weirdly, i can still hear the Devo.
	11:12am Hubig Pie: I recently heard the original single version of Mongoloid. Devo sounded quite different before they got the Eno treatment
	11:12am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Dammit! I missed the Hawaiian music segment. I love that stuff.
	👻 11:12am tim from champaign: Wow! I didn't know this existed. Maybe some favors were called in to Devo after the amazing collaboration with Neil Young for Human Highway.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Jake: "Duet Dos and Don'ts"
	11:14am pantz: "Why'd You Duet?"
	11:15am βrian: "Cuz he ate my suet."
	11:15am Joe McG: @pantz: Love it! I'm sure Marianne F. has some bad duets in her past.
	👻 11:16am tim from champaign: Would Mick and David Bowie's cover of Dancing in the Streets fall into this segment?
	11:16am Chi Bill: Wow Joe! Huge kick out of Devo And Jermaine, too cool! Never new.
	11:16am The Oscar: Does anyone remember the old AL-TV bit that's just a record executive singing this song a cappella sitting at his desk? I still chuckle at that occasionally.
	11:16am The Butterman: Mic and Tosh!
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: The Eno Treatment, sounds like a process to remove unwanted hair in unsightly places.
	11:16am Matt Fiveash: This is the most brilliant dumb gimmick set idea yet!
	11:17am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! I'd forgotten about Mick and the Jacksons, perhaps for a good reason.
	11:17am steveo: lol
	11:17am Listener Scott: "You're Dueting Wrong"
	11:17am Matt Fiveash: I briefly wrestled with the idea of shelling out hundreds of dollars to see the Stones tonight. This is clearly the next best thing...
	11:17am Joe McG: I heard on "Wake" this morning that Mick Jagger was at the Tick-Tock recently. @Matt: High praise, Matt!
	11:17am sphere: All Joe has to do is extend this concept to five hours and its golden!
	11:18am melinda: @Joe “Ebony and Ivory-Oh Lord Why?” hahaha
	11:18am steveo: '"State of Shock" charted at number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100'
	11:18am fred: I read recently that Jagger had come on the Taylor Ham side of the big NJ "food" divide
	👻 11:18am tadpoles: There's a neat CD of duets called "Rhythm Country & Blues" which is worth it just for Little Richard & Tanya Tucker doing Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" www.youtube.com... "Wanted to have dated her since God knows when!"
	11:19am Joe McG: @Scott: Nice!
	11:19am sphere: Wait, no told me that Elton and Millie joined Ministry!
	11:19am Joe McG: @steveo: I'm in a state of shock to learn that.
	👻 11:19am Webhamster Henry: Another set demonstrating the range of musical expression and the taste of those who finance it.
	11:19am steveo: [State of Shock] was later revived by Jagger when he performed it with Tina Turner during their 1985 performance at Live Aid.
	11:20am steveo: Haha. I remember hearing it on the radio a lot, Joe.
	11:20am Brendan: The food truck out front has a menu full of ‘Joe’ named items... https://neatmeatdc.com/menu
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Elton John and Millie Jackson together in the mid 80s? Makes perfect sense to me. Although this song sounds like an outtake to the WWF Wrestling Album.
	11:21am Yes: go joe
	11:21am Tim 07030: There is this duet, and then there are all other duets: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: Millie is belting it out!
	11:22am pantz: @Joe Marianne F and Bowie did "I Got You Babe" together
	11:23am Joe McG: Elton is kind of the king of bizarre duets. I've long considered a segment of the show called "This Week's Bad Elton John Duet."
	11:23am JakeGould: “Dudette Duet”
	11:23am lukavino: this Elton/Millie is that hardest thing i’ve ever heard.
	11:24am PKNY: Please let me that Millie lays down a rap where she tells Elton she washes no one else funky drawers but her own.
	👻 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Frankie says: "Relax, Don't Duet!"
	11:24am Listener Scott: So my instinctual algorithm predicts Tito Jackson and Big Daddy Kane's collaboration on "Get it Baby" next
	11:24am sphere: Just because, I do want to mention Bowie and Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy."
	11:24am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: His duets with Kiki Dee are great. That said, did he do more than one with her?
	11:24am melinda: I don’t remember this one but it feels like a blast from the past nonetheless with its heavy 80s fumes
	11:24am lukavino: i’m fired up, doin spinkicks in the office kitchenette
	11:24am Mandy: this is the third song in a row with handclaps
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign: Does the Jackson Browne/Clarence Clemons/Darryl Hannah "You're A Friend of Mine" fall in this category?
	11:25am PKNY: @KFHW FTW, well played!
	11:25am pantz: Sounds like this Jackson/John mas mixed by the Sigue Sigue Sputnik
	11:25am Hubig Pie: This is damaging my speakers
	11:25am steveo: hilarious observation, Mandy
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign: This is part 3. Are there parts 1 and 2 of this song?
	11:26am Brendan: Some ear bleeding is normal
	11:26am PKNY: Oops, I meant @KFHP. As a former Potown resident, I should know better. I'm morbidly curious about the other 2 parts of this, and who is laying down the totally 80s guitar solo.
	11:26am Listener Scott: Surrender (Part 1)
	11:26am sphere: Handclaps are the foundation of modern civilization.
	11:27am Joe McG: @tim: You know it!
	11:27am Mandy: we take a break with some cowbell
	11:27am melinda: I liked his Kiki Dee duet
	11:27am fred: I actually like this one
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign: Joe, I think you've hit on possible inspiration for your 2020 premium!
	11:27am Hubig Pie: But this is a brilliant duet
	11:27am Matt Fiveash: I bought this when it came out! Pretty sure I don't have it anymore.
	11:28am Bill W: "World Destruction" was nicely dropped into a Sopranos episode.
	11:28am Joe McG: Like I said, I LIKE a lot of these!
	11:28am JakeGould: Whoever doesn’t like “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” should rot in hell.
	11:28am thormagma: You know for a torture set, all these tracks have gone pretty hard
	11:28am Bill W: I still have my 12" of this.
	11:28am Alicia Renee: THIS I remember. wow.
	11:28am Mandy: this whole set: WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY handclaps
	11:29am βrian: "Just duet?"
	11:29am Listener Alexandra: Timely choice, Joe. And good morning!
	11:29am The Oscar: These are all great, but now I want a John Lydon/Millie Jackson duet.
	11:29am melinda: Wait who are the dueters here? I like it.
	11:30am Tim 07030: I have the 12" of 'Unity' by Afrika and James Brown but not this one. This one is better.
	11:30am Brendan: John automatically makes any duet good.
	11:30am ZachariahMac: This shit is genius.
	11:31am sphere: @ melinda - John Lydon and Afrika Bambaata
	11:32am PKNY: If you asked me to bet that the singer of the Motels did a duet with Sly, I would say hell no. This is crazy!
	11:32am melinda: @sphere thanks
	11:32am Listener Scott: Love this song; I'm thrilled to hear any version of it.
	11:32am frenchee: good stuff, Joe! You're really pulling out some neglected gems.
	11:32am Jeff Moore: This is cute, but it's no Joan Armatrading.
	11:32am melinda: These 2 are not Joan
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Oh man...anything related to the movie Soul Man (including the movie itself) is sooo wrong. Including Lou Reed's Sould Man cover!
	11:32am βrian: Lisa Simpson there?
	11:33am frenchee: @Listener Scott: I'm still stuck on DEVO with Jermaine.
	11:33am PKNY: Just hit the discogs, there's a solo Sly track on the soundtrack as well. Wow.
	11:34am Tim 07030: Why am I assuming that that sax solo was by the buff dude from Tina Turner's old band?
	11:35am KP in DC: Matt Fiveash, I once bought Stones tix first section on floor night before for $40. But that was in Philadelphia
	11:35am βrian: Seems kinda pricey to me.
	11:36am melinda: I didn’t think I could like Love and Affection any more than I already did until I learned that it was Clark Peters from The Wire doing the “oh give me love” part.
	11:37am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: 'Time Zone' was used as one of the best tony soprano entrances ever!
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign: Does a Meatloaf/Lady Gaga duet exist?
	11:37am sphere: Barbara Streisand and disco? the world is endlessly surprising.
	11:37am Brendan: The human race’s resiliency was really tested in the 80s. Bad duets, smooth jazz sax solos in pop songs, Members Only jackets.
	11:37am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow, really? @tim: No, but there's a killer Loaf/Cher duet on his second LP.
	👻 11:38am tim from champaign: A Loaf/Cher duet sounds like a match made in heaven.
	11:39am Joe McG: @sphere: You should check out Babs' cover of Bob Marley's "Guava Jelly." Hot!
	11:39am Brendan: If we are tight for time and Loaf gets pinched out, I wont be mad.
	11:39am pantz: This is cheezie as hell but I would definitely be able to skate my booty off to it back in the day
	11:40am sphere: @Joe McG - thanks! i'm a little afraid now.
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I miss the disco era.
	👻 11:40am Webhamster Henry: How about an "Another Side Of Babs" set. You could warn listeners to tune away first.
	11:41am Brendan: @sphere its goat alarm worthy
	11:41am melinda: @Joe yes! Awesome isn’t it?
	11:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: No fear. Today is a Loaf-free zone. But I can't guarantee anything for next week.
	11:43am Joe McG: By the way, just so you know, I elected to play the full 11:44 version of this Donna/Babs duet instead of the short 4-minute version. This was a conscious decision.
	11:43am melinda: @Brendan haha
	11:43am βrian: Next time, can we listen to some product demo video soundtracks? Especially if they're about off-road vehicles or military hardware? Those are the best!
	11:43am steveo: enough is enough!
	11:43am The Butterman: How dare you play a Babs duo that is not with Newl Diamond! The audacity!
	11:44am Joe McG: @steveo: ha ha ha
	11:44am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM you need to make this up to us with the EP version of 'love to love ya baby'
	11:45am Mandy: i would lip sync for my life to this
	11:45am Joe McG: @Mandy: :) :)
	11:46am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM ...or am i thinking 'i feel love'?
	11:46am Davee: Oh man, enough is enough
	11:46am The Butterman: That wasn’t long enough.
	11:47am Jeff Moore: I could see being judgmental about this Donna Summer / Babs effort, but somehow I ended up listening to it enough Back Then that a happy place has been carved out for it to nestle in in my brain. Except I don't think this extended version is the one I used to listen to, so it's fun to hear that!
	11:48am sphere: It is hard to believe that I grew up in the 80s.
	11:48am TheLoneliestMonk: this is SO epic in its 70s awfulness, it's almost grand
	11:48am Joe McG: @Jeff: Glad you enjoyed that, Jeff!
	11:48am steveo: Too much is never enough: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:49am tim from champaign: This works!
	11:49am lukavino: there is zero chance Alice remembers recording this.
	11:50am Joe McG: Lyrics co-written by Bernie Taupin!
	11:51am PKNY: @lukavino - I would say the same about that Sly Stone track from Soul Man!
	11:52am sphere: hey, this is pretty ok!
	11:52am Beast of Boonton: Remember Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh - "Don't Look Back"?
	11:52am Sean from Iowa: The 90s version of this set is called the Judgement Night soundtrack.
	11:52am frenchee: LYLE!!!! Love him. And Al, natch
	👻 11:52am tim from champaign: Joe - you are too good for your own good!
	11:52am The Oscar: So is the implication that Al and Lyle are exes?
	11:53am Joe McG: @sphere: I like it! Arranged by Billy Preston. Billy on organ.
	11:54am Joe McG: Time HAS slipped away! Thanks for joining me today with the listening and commenting and such. Have a great week! Stay tuned for two live bands on Three Chord Monte!
	11:54am Tim 07030: The last song Elvis ever sang, if the legend and my memory are correct.
	👻 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be a Hoof 'n' Mouth duet in this set? I believe there are some good ones available.
	11:54am steveo: haha; lovely show, Joe -- thanks!
	11:54am sphere: @Joe McG thanks!
	11:55am northguineahills: thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am frenchee: I just got the ultimate irony of SOUL MAN mentions and cuts. Jolly good, Joe!
	11:56am KP in DC: One more thing about that Stones/Philly show. We got there early to pick up the tickets. They were doing a sound check that sounded great. We could see them through the fence. They ended with “Like a Rolling Stone.” It was fantastic, better than anything they did that night. It made everything worthwhile
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Joe, wacko set but hopefully not a full programme in future. How about some unlikely duet partners doing Satisfaction.
	👻 11:58am tadpoles: Always a treat thanks Joe. Cheers.
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the duetty column, Joe.
	👻 12:26pm Webhamster Henry: A fun show today! Thanks! and keep sending out that Marathon Swag!
	👻 9:06am Webhamster Henry: Hey! Babs news from Aug 2nd: Over two hours and almost two dozen songs, Streisand received a stunning 17 standing ovations — earning every single one — for an energetic show that included her biggest hits (“People” and “Evergreen”), some Broadway gems (from “Into the Woods” and “Funny Girl”) and even a little disco (the Donna Summer duet “Enough is Enough”), building to a powerful political crescendo.

	9:40am Mandy: I love this music so much. thank you!
	👻 9:41am Webhamster Henry: Back then it was really unusual; here on WFMU, that kind of show happens about once a month, and one of Mary Wing's weekly sets is devoted to "Three of a Kind", where the "Three" is interpreted very loosely.
	9:42am annie: there is a George Clooney movie called "The Descendants", nice vistas of the islands and a topical theme: how to handle the family members who want to sell your land..if i went to hawai'i i'd take aboat.

	9:51am annie: one of the saddest things to happen tome when i was a kid was the fading battery on my transistor radio..first timeit happened i thought i had broken it..
	9:53am nardo: Hey all and Joe. Like that Sacred Paws as well! Puts me in mind of The English Beat among other things.
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: My trip to Hawaii was in a January. Hiked up to the summit of Mauna Loa and down the next day. I thought it'd be an ironic way to die if I got lost and froze to death in Hawaii. Also, visited the outhouse at night and noticed that, due to the high elevation, the stars were not twinkling.
	9:54am Brendan: This Summer Girl has a Walk on the Wild Side feel
	9:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: They gave Lou Reed a writing credit!

	10:13am βrian: We got our swag: imgur.com...
	10:14am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: when you're doing monthly contributions, will the webpage just let you pick stuff?
	10:15am Joe McG: @LM: If you don't pick it at the same time you make the pledge, no. If you are already enrolled, we send you a special link to pick before the next fundraiser.
	👻 10:15am Webhamster Henry: WFMU Comps are distilled and aged Musical liqueur!
	10:17am Brendan: Proud owner of Joe’s and Fabio’s premiums ( puffing chest).

	10:25am Brendan: Joe, I requested your premium but this showed up instead: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/9IL7XUB8L22L8PgcBU4wGbV8tQTROEKgB7HgyVvnjNghc4MmydwszJzomd1VyWYML4_Zq1WBKnstqvdSOxrichPEHCMjBny3DvX15Ab2-4ifHMbwn-OClZg-6OGf8AyMj3kaWSiDXa8ATksO1b5Au0pVyvJl9CQ1_8OmkNOMi4JGvZOAyZK16Kcufs3Oanw89NKwfxRzpGshBDnnO1WM=s600-pd-e365-pc0xffffff

	10:32am Brendan: @Asheville Jon , I always thought this bed sounded like a slowed down version of Strokin’
	10:34am rx scabin: SacredPaws is a must see live. I saw them at MERGE30 and they blew the place up. They were born for this.
	10:34am Joe McG: @rx: I've gotta see them, I love their record.
	10:36am βrian: I once had a cat with sacred paws. 24 toes in all. That girl could walk on water, or snow, to be exact.

	10:36am Mr. Palchepo.: Sp?
	10:37am TheLoneliestMonk: pad data just came back on the app
	10:38am steveo: "[Summertime Blues] has not been played since the death of bassist John Entwistle in 2002"
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Joe, after last years Paris jaunt; do you have any further plans for European travel? I am guessing that it is a bit soon.
	10:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Maybe! Fingers crossed. I only have one more 45 from Paris that I haven't played yet after Sylvie.
	10:40am The Butterman: I have been obsessed with Bappi Lahiri since I first heard Bombay Disco cd on WFMU. After a couple of years I’m a birthday party at my sons friends house. It was a multi generational Indian family. I’m an artist so The father and bro in law bring me to the basement to see a drawing he was working on ( as a hobby) and I see a keyboard set up. So I tell him that I’m really into music, Indiana classical, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s Bollywood and anything related to Bappi Lahiri. Well this guy and his brother in law start screaming to each other “oh my he knows Bappi Lahiri, he knows Bappi Lahiri! They were ridiculously excited.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Butterman: I like that story! And cool that you were turned on the music by FMU!
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Joe, there is still a lot of life in those singles. Flip sides, wrong speed, backwards!!!
	10:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, I'm going to have to start re-playing some of the ones I used to play when I first started the show. A lot of them haven't been played in years.
	10:45am The Butterman: Well, now I get that excited anytime the name Bappi Lahiri is spoken! I KNOW BAPPI LAHIRI!!!!!!!!
	10:46am pantz: That "Steel Guitar Rag" started out with the old "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" riff.
	10:47am The Butterman: And the drawing he wanted to show me was of an Native American woman’(Indian as we were taught growing up) posing next to a horse. I found this so ironic!
	👻 10:49am tim from champaign: Hi Joe and everybody! Time to boogie!
	10:50am Joe McG: @pantz: I heard that! Also kinda weird to do a steel guitar rag cover and not have a steel guitar on it!
	10:50am pantz: Ha! Yeah. Didn't notice that.
	👻 10:54am Webhamster Henry: This the singalog part of the how!
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign: Can't go wrong with Burt Bacharach.
	10:55am Joe McG: @tim: "What Would Burt Do?"
	👻 10:56am Webhamster Henry: Burt and Angie would "Say Yes!"
	👻 10:56am tadpoles: Excellent Joe...I remember Mari Wilson singing a great version of "Are You There" in the early '80's. Very neat.
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign: @Joe - if in doubt, just walk on by.
	10:57am Hubig Pie: Burt would say a little prayer for you
	10:57am Joe McG: Ha ha, keep the Burt comin'!
	👻 10:59am Webhamster Henry: "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?" << smells like suet.
	11:02am ?: Hi Joe, I've always heard it and said it Duh-LAYNE-ee
	11:03am frenchee: oops, that was frenchee weighing in
	11:04am KP in DC: True fact: Felix Pappliardi’s wife killed him because he invited Leslie West over for dinner.
	11:05am frenchee: whaaaat?
	11:07am βrian: A Kenny G segment??
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign: Maybe call this the "duet nuisance" segment - haha!
	11:09am Brendan: Whoa ...you scared me mentioning torture at 11 am.
	👻 11:09am Webhamster Henry: It's a Hard Business: Rosemary Clooney & Wild Man Fischer
	11:10am Mandy: more handclaps pls
	11:10am sphere: Um, yeah.
	11:10am Joe McG: "Duet Nuisance" is a good title! I was considering "Ebony and Ivory - Oh Lord, Why?" But I like several of these records, so that sounds a bit sour.
	11:11am Asheville Jon: holy cow, haven't heard this since the 80's. trying to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
	11:11am melinda: One day while walking on a wooded trail I thought about Ebony and Ivory and how totally lame it was, analogy-wise.
	11:11am pantz: How about "Don't Duet"?
	11:11am sphere: weirdly, i can still hear the Devo.
	11:12am Hubig Pie: I recently heard the original single version of Mongoloid. Devo sounded quite different before they got the Eno treatment
	11:12am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Dammit! I missed the Hawaiian music segment. I love that stuff.
	👻 11:12am tim from champaign: Wow! I didn't know this existed. Maybe some favors were called in to Devo after the amazing collaboration with Neil Young for Human Highway.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Jake: "Duet Dos and Don'ts"
	11:14am pantz: "Why'd You Duet?"
	11:15am βrian: "Cuz he ate my suet."
	11:15am Joe McG: @pantz: Love it! I'm sure Marianne F. has some bad duets in her past.
	👻 11:16am tim from champaign: Would Mick and David Bowie's cover of Dancing in the Streets fall into this segment?
	11:16am Chi Bill: Wow Joe! Huge kick out of Devo And Jermaine, too cool! Never new.
	11:16am The Oscar: Does anyone remember the old AL-TV bit that's just a record executive singing this song a cappella sitting at his desk? I still chuckle at that occasionally.
	11:16am The Butterman: Mic and Tosh!
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: The Eno Treatment, sounds like a process to remove unwanted hair in unsightly places.
	11:16am Matt Fiveash: This is the most brilliant dumb gimmick set idea yet!
	11:17am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! I'd forgotten about Mick and the Jacksons, perhaps for a good reason.
	11:17am steveo: lol
	11:17am Listener Scott: "You're Dueting Wrong"
	11:17am Matt Fiveash: I briefly wrestled with the idea of shelling out hundreds of dollars to see the Stones tonight. This is clearly the next best thing...
	11:17am Joe McG: I heard on "Wake" this morning that Mick Jagger was at the Tick-Tock recently. @Matt: High praise, Matt!
	11:17am sphere: All Joe has to do is extend this concept to five hours and its golden!
	11:18am melinda: @Joe “Ebony and Ivory-Oh Lord Why?” hahaha
	11:18am steveo: '"State of Shock" charted at number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100'
	11:18am fred: I read recently that Jagger had come on the Taylor Ham side of the big NJ "food" divide
	👻 11:18am tadpoles: There's a neat CD of duets called "Rhythm Country & Blues" which is worth it just for Little Richard & Tanya Tucker doing Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" www.youtube.com... "Wanted to have dated her since God knows when!"
	11:19am Joe McG: @Scott: Nice!
	11:19am sphere: Wait, no told me that Elton and Millie joined Ministry!
	11:19am Joe McG: @steveo: I'm in a state of shock to learn that.
	👻 11:19am Webhamster Henry: Another set demonstrating the range of musical expression and the taste of those who finance it.
	11:19am steveo: [State of Shock] was later revived by Jagger when he performed it with Tina Turner during their 1985 performance at Live Aid.
	11:20am steveo: Haha. I remember hearing it on the radio a lot, Joe.
	11:20am Brendan: The food truck out front has a menu full of ‘Joe’ named items... https://neatmeatdc.com/menu
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Elton John and Millie Jackson together in the mid 80s? Makes perfect sense to me. Although this song sounds like an outtake to the WWF Wrestling Album.
	11:21am Yes: go joe
	11:21am Tim 07030: There is this duet, and then there are all other duets: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: Millie is belting it out!
	11:22am pantz: @Joe Marianne F and Bowie did "I Got You Babe" together
	11:23am Joe McG: Elton is kind of the king of bizarre duets. I've long considered a segment of the show called "This Week's Bad Elton John Duet."
	11:23am JakeGould: “Dudette Duet”
	11:23am lukavino: this Elton/Millie is that hardest thing i’ve ever heard.
	11:24am PKNY: Please let me that Millie lays down a rap where she tells Elton she washes no one else funky drawers but her own.
	👻 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Frankie says: "Relax, Don't Duet!"
	11:24am Listener Scott: So my instinctual algorithm predicts Tito Jackson and Big Daddy Kane's collaboration on "Get it Baby" next
	11:24am sphere: Just because, I do want to mention Bowie and Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy."
	11:24am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: His duets with Kiki Dee are great. That said, did he do more than one with her?
	11:24am melinda: I don’t remember this one but it feels like a blast from the past nonetheless with its heavy 80s fumes
	11:24am lukavino: i’m fired up, doin spinkicks in the office kitchenette
	11:24am Mandy: this is the third song in a row with handclaps
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign: Does the Jackson Browne/Clarence Clemons/Darryl Hannah "You're A Friend of Mine" fall in this category?
	11:25am PKNY: @KFHW FTW, well played!
	11:25am pantz: Sounds like this Jackson/John mas mixed by the Sigue Sigue Sputnik
	11:25am Hubig Pie: This is damaging my speakers
	11:25am steveo: hilarious observation, Mandy
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign: This is part 3. Are there parts 1 and 2 of this song?
	11:26am Brendan: Some ear bleeding is normal
	11:26am PKNY: Oops, I meant @KFHP. As a former Potown resident, I should know better. I'm morbidly curious about the other 2 parts of this, and who is laying down the totally 80s guitar solo.
	11:26am Listener Scott: Surrender (Part 1)
	11:26am sphere: Handclaps are the foundation of modern civilization.
	11:27am Joe McG: @tim: You know it!
	11:27am Mandy: we take a break with some cowbell
	11:27am melinda: I liked his Kiki Dee duet
	11:27am fred: I actually like this one
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign: Joe, I think you've hit on possible inspiration for your 2020 premium!
	11:27am Hubig Pie: But this is a brilliant duet
	11:27am Matt Fiveash: I bought this when it came out! Pretty sure I don't have it anymore.
	11:28am Bill W: "World Destruction" was nicely dropped into a Sopranos episode.
	11:28am Joe McG: Like I said, I LIKE a lot of these!
	11:28am JakeGould: Whoever doesn’t like “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” should rot in hell.
	11:28am thormagma: You know for a torture set, all these tracks have gone pretty hard
	11:28am Bill W: I still have my 12" of this.
	11:28am Alicia Renee: THIS I remember. wow.
	11:28am Mandy: this whole set: WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY handclaps
	11:29am βrian: "Just duet?"
	11:29am Listener Alexandra: Timely choice, Joe. And good morning!
	11:29am The Oscar: These are all great, but now I want a John Lydon/Millie Jackson duet.
	11:29am melinda: Wait who are the dueters here? I like it.
	11:30am Tim 07030: I have the 12" of 'Unity' by Afrika and James Brown but not this one. This one is better.
	11:30am Brendan: John automatically makes any duet good.
	11:30am ZachariahMac: This shit is genius.
	11:31am sphere: @ melinda - John Lydon and Afrika Bambaata
	11:32am PKNY: If you asked me to bet that the singer of the Motels did a duet with Sly, I would say hell no. This is crazy!
	11:32am melinda: @sphere thanks
	11:32am Listener Scott: Love this song; I'm thrilled to hear any version of it.
	11:32am frenchee: good stuff, Joe! You're really pulling out some neglected gems.
	11:32am Jeff Moore: This is cute, but it's no Joan Armatrading.
	11:32am melinda: These 2 are not Joan
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Oh man...anything related to the movie Soul Man (including the movie itself) is sooo wrong. Including Lou Reed's Sould Man cover!
	11:32am βrian: Lisa Simpson there?
	11:33am frenchee: @Listener Scott: I'm still stuck on DEVO with Jermaine.
	11:33am PKNY: Just hit the discogs, there's a solo Sly track on the soundtrack as well. Wow.
	11:34am Tim 07030: Why am I assuming that that sax solo was by the buff dude from Tina Turner's old band?
	11:35am KP in DC: Matt Fiveash, I once bought Stones tix first section on floor night before for $40. But that was in Philadelphia
	11:35am βrian: Seems kinda pricey to me.
	11:36am melinda: I didn’t think I could like Love and Affection any more than I already did until I learned that it was Clark Peters from The Wire doing the “oh give me love” part.
	11:37am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: 'Time Zone' was used as one of the best tony soprano entrances ever!
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign: Does a Meatloaf/Lady Gaga duet exist?
	11:37am sphere: Barbara Streisand and disco? the world is endlessly surprising.
	11:37am Brendan: The human race’s resiliency was really tested in the 80s. Bad duets, smooth jazz sax solos in pop songs, Members Only jackets.
	11:37am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow, really? @tim: No, but there's a killer Loaf/Cher duet on his second LP.
	👻 11:38am tim from champaign: A Loaf/Cher duet sounds like a match made in heaven.
	11:39am Joe McG: @sphere: You should check out Babs' cover of Bob Marley's "Guava Jelly." Hot!
	11:39am Brendan: If we are tight for time and Loaf gets pinched out, I wont be mad.
	11:39am pantz: This is cheezie as hell but I would definitely be able to skate my booty off to it back in the day
	11:40am sphere: @Joe McG - thanks! i'm a little afraid now.
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I miss the disco era.
	👻 11:40am Webhamster Henry: How about an "Another Side Of Babs" set. You could warn listeners to tune away first.
	11:41am Brendan: @sphere its goat alarm worthy
	11:41am melinda: @Joe yes! Awesome isn’t it?
	11:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: No fear. Today is a Loaf-free zone. But I can't guarantee anything for next week.
	11:43am Joe McG: By the way, just so you know, I elected to play the full 11:44 version of this Donna/Babs duet instead of the short 4-minute version. This was a conscious decision.
	11:43am melinda: @Brendan haha
	11:43am βrian: Next time, can we listen to some product demo video soundtracks? Especially if they're about off-road vehicles or military hardware? Those are the best!
	11:43am steveo: enough is enough!
	11:43am The Butterman: How dare you play a Babs duo that is not with Newl Diamond! The audacity!
	11:44am Joe McG: @steveo: ha ha ha
	11:44am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM you need to make this up to us with the EP version of 'love to love ya baby'
	11:45am Mandy: i would lip sync for my life to this
	11:45am Joe McG: @Mandy: :) :)
	11:46am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM ...or am i thinking 'i feel love'?
	11:46am Davee: Oh man, enough is enough
	11:46am The Butterman: That wasn’t long enough.
	11:47am Jeff Moore: I could see being judgmental about this Donna Summer / Babs effort, but somehow I ended up listening to it enough Back Then that a happy place has been carved out for it to nestle in in my brain. Except I don't think this extended version is the one I used to listen to, so it's fun to hear that!
	11:48am sphere: It is hard to believe that I grew up in the 80s.
	11:48am TheLoneliestMonk: this is SO epic in its 70s awfulness, it's almost grand
	11:48am Joe McG: @Jeff: Glad you enjoyed that, Jeff!
	11:48am steveo: Too much is never enough: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:49am tim from champaign: This works!
	11:49am lukavino: there is zero chance Alice remembers recording this.
	11:50am Joe McG: Lyrics co-written by Bernie Taupin!
	11:51am PKNY: @lukavino - I would say the same about that Sly Stone track from Soul Man!
	11:52am sphere: hey, this is pretty ok!
	11:52am Beast of Boonton: Remember Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh - "Don't Look Back"?
	11:52am Sean from Iowa: The 90s version of this set is called the Judgement Night soundtrack.
	11:52am frenchee: LYLE!!!! Love him. And Al, natch
	👻 11:52am tim from champaign: Joe - you are too good for your own good!
	11:52am The Oscar: So is the implication that Al and Lyle are exes?
	11:53am Joe McG: @sphere: I like it! Arranged by Billy Preston. Billy on organ.
	11:54am Joe McG: Time HAS slipped away! Thanks for joining me today with the listening and commenting and such. Have a great week! Stay tuned for two live bands on Three Chord Monte!
	11:54am Tim 07030: The last song Elvis ever sang, if the legend and my memory are correct.
	👻 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be a Hoof 'n' Mouth duet in this set? I believe there are some good ones available.
	11:54am steveo: haha; lovely show, Joe -- thanks!
	11:54am sphere: @Joe McG thanks!
	11:55am northguineahills: thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am frenchee: I just got the ultimate irony of SOUL MAN mentions and cuts. Jolly good, Joe!
	11:56am KP in DC: One more thing about that Stones/Philly show. We got there early to pick up the tickets. They were doing a sound check that sounded great. We could see them through the fence. They ended with “Like a Rolling Stone.” It was fantastic, better than anything they did that night. It made everything worthwhile
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Joe, wacko set but hopefully not a full programme in future. How about some unlikely duet partners doing Satisfaction.
	👻 11:58am tadpoles: Always a treat thanks Joe. Cheers.
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the duetty column, Joe.
	👻 12:26pm Webhamster Henry: A fun show today! Thanks! and keep sending out that Marathon Swag!
	👻 9:06am Webhamster Henry: Hey! Babs news from Aug 2nd: Over two hours and almost two dozen songs, Streisand received a stunning 17 standing ovations — earning every single one — for an energetic show that included her biggest hits (“People” and “Evergreen”), some Broadway gems (from “Into the Woods” and “Funny Girl”) and even a little disco (the Donna Summer duet “Enough is Enough”), building to a powerful political crescendo.
