	9:08am David (in London): Yeti Bob - Yes, absolutely. We're having something of an Indian Summer over here, so it still feels like high summer. But the light, and the leaves, are on the change for sure. Hey TDK, Krys.
	9:08am TDK60: The plot thickens this early?

	9:15am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Joe McGasko! Hi McGasko-nites! Hey WoodsofNH! Sincerest gratitude for all the pointers and recommendations for our Maine trip. We had such a good time we extended a night. 5 nights in Old Port. We went to Kennebunkport, York, NH, etc. Had a great time!
	9:15am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Watched a bunch of the pink panther last night,super duper.
	9:15am Joe McG: Hey, you mugs and dames. Stand under the streetlight so I can see you.
	9:15am StringOFperils: The moon rippled in the pool of oil where I came to. My head felt like someone had buried the hatchet right dead center of my whiskey-soaked brain. Pistol-whipped for the third time tonight. That's what you get in this racket. As I peeled one eye open, I could make out the silhouette of the Empire State Building, inverted, like a dagger hanging over me. It was then that I realized I had to scrape myself off the pavement. McGasko would be on the air soon, and I had to get back to the office.
	👻 9:16am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, thanks for the tactical wallop to our senses to start the show. And now comes the healing segment of the show...
	9:16am TDK60: Hello David in Londonworth.
	9:16am WoodsOfNH: @Buddha You're more than welcome. Maine was really showin' off with the weather this weekend. It was glorious.
	9:17am melinda: Morning everyone
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: @D(iL): It's in New Orleans as far as I know - unless there's another one in London?
	9:17am pantz: Don't give me the high hat, Joe. What's with slipping me the mickey? Now dangle.
	9:18am David (in London): Hey Buddha, melinda. Yeti Bob - The rains on my parade a little. Still, nothing to stop me starting my own...
	9:18am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi ya Joe McG! How are ya? I still never got my swag? Hi TDK60! And another Maine-o-nite as we speak! Hi Melinda! Had a great time in Maine! WoodsofNH, Holy Donut was impossible to get one donut so we stuck with Hi Fi Donuts. Their lemon one is exceptional. I did some great thrift shopping! Hi David in London!!
	9:18am Tom from Stirling: These tunes call for a taste of Stella D'Oro Angelica Goodies.
	9:19am PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings ya’ll! WFMU Sounding good on Madison Av and E60th! Good stuff!
	9:19am John in Phoenixville: Really digging this opening set, Joe!!
	9:20am TDK60: Glad you had a good trip Buddha, would like to get up there again.
	9:20am djsheilab: Morning Joe McG!
	9:20am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi PaulRobesom1920! You're bringing me back. I used to walk from apt in Sunnyside,Queens over the Queensboro bridge to my job at Marymount Manhattan College on East 71st. I know E.60th well.
	👻 9:21am YETI BOB: We took an imaginary trip to New Orleans this weekend, inspired by finding a piece of andoulle sausage at the market. I made a big pot of gumbo, we listened to WWOZ, and my wife made sazeracs using what we had on hand - Basil Hayden bourbon and a shot of absinthe - it was wonderful!!
	👻 9:21am LastWhiteRhino: Boom, Chikca... Boom. Boom, Boom !
	9:21am Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks TDK60! We were supposed to be in London around this time, but thanks to the Rona we had to change travel plans. Maine did not disappoint.
	9:22am Tom from Stirling: Oh my goodness! WFMU is so great!!
	9:22am Joe McG: Hey Sheila B.! Hey Buddha - pls. e-mail me at jmcgasko@wfmu.org so I remember to look into your swag situation.
	9:23am pantz: "On stage 1...Candy! Two hands coming together make a beautiful sound for Candy! C'mon fellas!"
	9:24am word: This is such a great set @Joe McG.
	9:24am David (in London): Buddha, many belated happy returns. Shame you didn't make it over here, but when you do, we'll let the good times roll.
	9:24am Matt: DJ Food all up in this
	9:24am Dennis Diken: Go Joe! Hi all!
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: I've been mostly staying home since covid hit, I've barely left the city and most days I don't really leave the house. Yesterday we drove to St Charles IL (town along the Fox River, just an hour away) and it felt like a major vacation.
	9:25am Asheville Jon: hey everyone, i have pledged to the fall fund drive, have you??? do it now! it's easy, it's painless.
	9:25am David (in London): Ah, Alex North. In the days before Stanley Kubrick trashed his mind.
	9:25am Buddha of Suburbia: Yes, David! I was so looking forward to meeting you in person. And Ben Abs, VincentNifigance, Simon, and Nulsh! He was going to take a 6 hour train from Scotland!! We'd been planning it for a year!
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: @Asheville Jon: And you get a cute little death-pumpkin by your name!
	9:26am Asheville Jon: i saw that! it's soooo cute!!!
	9:27am Mike W: M SQUAD! This is Benny Carter — “Lonely Beat” was the theme music I swiped for my ’90s show in Mpls, True Crime Radio. Awesome pick @Joe!
	9:28am Gord: Yeti — We've barely ventured out of the five boroughs last winter . . . but the last place we did go was New Orleans, in late January.
	9:28am Joe McG: @Mike W: Ooh, "True Crime Radio" sounds like a fun show!
	9:29am Yes: morning everyone
	9:29am TimBk: Loving the film noir music Joe, btw, if anyone has a digital antenna for their tv in NYC area they can pick up the channel Movies! (channel They pretty much has obscure film noir movies every night as well as well curated weird movies and classics.
	9:29am sydnius: Unfortunately it’s serving 5 to 10
	9:30am David (in London): I gotta blow this crummy joint. Back in an hour or so...
	9:30am wfmu listener phillip: I remember the Yip Yip segment on sesame street with a phone. it was soo creepy to me it freaked out the 11yr old me.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: @Gord: Same here! New Orleans in Jan, just before Mardi Gras! It was great. Can't wait to go back there, it's truly one of my favorite places in the USA. @Mike W: Somehow I never heard of M Squad, I see that it was set in Chicago and starred Lee Marvin, I'm going to have to go find some episodes on UTube.
	9:30am chris_in_space: Morning Surface Noisers! Lovin' this 'naked city' vibe, @Joe McG!
	9:31am yerfriendpaul: Loving this mix, Joe. I feel like I’m in the middle of a gritty, sordid criminal investigation.
	9:32am wfmu listener phillip: WOW!! this is some cool lounge music Joe McG
	9:32am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm going to get going. Bye everyone! Have a great day! I love your playlist today Joe McGasko makes me want to paint or do something creative while listening to yester year jazz. It's great stuff. Blessingsx. Stay safe and if you are out wear your mask and practice social distancing! Hi YerfriendPaul! Talk soon!
	9:32am yerfriendpaul: Hey Boods!
	9:33am Bill W: Just sitting with a bottle of gin in my lonely crime jazz apartment...
	9:33am Mike W: @YETI BOB to me it’s canon @Joe McG it was mostly just any music I wanted to play but with lots of b- and c-movie dialogue a la from this shadowy comp: www.discogs.com...
	9:33am Buddha of Suburbia: YerfriendPaul, not sure if I sent your postcard from Maine or I have to send it from CT. but I know I filled out one for you.
	9:34am dougseidel: i just donated $ also - thanks WFMU for being a good ark to travel in during the flood
	👻 9:34am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Mornin' Joe and friends!
	9:34am Colleen: So sooo gooood Joe!!!
	9:35am yerfriendpaul: @Buddha - Cool, can’t wait to see it!
	9:36am John in Phoenixville: Love this tune in “Kiss Me Deadly.”
	9:37am Tom from Stirling: Thank you1 Thank you! My ears feel so happy now!
	9:37am wfmu listener phillip: yeah baby (snaps fingers) I feel like I should be wearing a Zoot suit
	9:38am PaulRobeson1920: @Buddha @9:20 We have walked the same path! I know that walk well! Beautiful day for it
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: it starts at 7:30 AM (Eastern) - that's the Equnox
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: um, Equinox - tomorrow morning
	9:39am StringOFperils: Who's the gunsel?
	9:39am sydnius: Time to whip out the Jarré
	9:39am WoodsOfNH: My name is Joe McG and I am wearing a cocktail dress!
	9:41am John in Phoenixville: Not Robert Wagner, Joe. Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer.
	9:41am Switchblade Batman: Re: Kiss me deadly. He stumbled onto a dame and was looking for her, no GF or wife to kill. I watched it pretty recently
	9:42am Buddha of Suburbia: Couldn't forget about you YerfriendPaul! And PaulRobeson1920, I would walk the back streets. It's a nice walk if you don't end up sucking up car fumes. Unfortunately, I did and had a bad case of bronchitis and scaled back from that walk. I think it was 6 miles each way or was it 4 miles each way?
	9:42am The Oscar: Mornin'! John beat me to it, but Kiss Me Deadly is NUTS. It's the source of the glowy-breifcase in Pulp Fiction, only here it's pretty clearly supposed to be an atomic bomb. Also Mike Hammer is unambiguously a psychopath in it.
	9:43am Buddha of Suburbia: Switchblade Batman, great profile pic GIF!
	9:44am egould310: Watched “Mr. Lucky” on Amazon Prime. Great show. Classic Blake Edwards themes/obsessions. Funny. Gambling. Fist fights/gun fights every episode.
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: Oops, I messed up the Central-Eastern time zone conversion. It's 8:30 Central, 9:30 Eastern. Hope this didn't mess up anybody's plans :)
	9:45am ΨNs: Jean la fittes old Absinthe house in New Orleans. https://www.ruebourbon.com/old-absinthe-house
	9:46am Joe McG: Oh, that's so great to hear! You can still find one when you walk the Bourbon Street beat!
	9:47am Joe McG: Ah, yes, "Kiss Me Deadly" is Mike Hammer. Nutty cuckoo. What's the one with Robert Wagner?
	9:48am John in Phoenixville: @Switchblade Batman @The Oscar ... and a young Cloris Leachman is the dame he stumbles upon.
	9:50am The Oscar: @John That's right! I think I read somewhere that the director, Robert Aldrich, was very left-leaning and considered Hammer to be a fascist icon, so he went out of his way to make him as unlikable and dimwitted as possible.
	9:50am Martinibomb: Gooooooood morning Joe!
	9:51am Switchblade Batman: @The Oscar, he was. But it was really interesting watch though.
	9:52am Joe McG: Hey Trista! Hey Martinibomb!
	9:53am Mike W: DOIN’ CRIMES TO PELL MELL go go go go crimes
	9:55am Joe McG: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Don't do it.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Morning there, Joe and all the Yippers. Late hello on the morning of our last day of being away from most of it all.
	9:56am The Oscar: @Batman Oh, for sure-- one of my favorite films noir, easy!
	9:56am Joe McG: The Robert Wagner movie was "A Kiss Before Dying." Also good, if not as whacked out as "Kiss Me Deadly."
	9:57am βrian: Tomorrow will be day 190. Oof.
	9:58am pantz: If the movie doesn't have Sydney Greenstreet, can it truly be considered a hard-boiled detective movie?
	10:00am The Oscar: I used to confuse Kiss Me Deadly with The Naked Kiss, an even more gonzo '50s movie by Sam Fuller. Both are definitely worth seeking out.
	10:02am Joe McG: @Oscar: Yes, "The Naked Kiss" is nutty, too!
	10:02am Martinibomb: I just watched Criss Cross and Gun Crazy over the weekend speaking of Film Noir
	10:03am Terr in DE: Morning Joe and hard boiled listeners. Whats the Wagner film where hes a spy and tapes a Squash match as evidence
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Terr: I'm not sure! Let me know if you remember. @Martinibomb: "Criss Cross" is Lancaster and Stanwyck, right? Love that one!
	10:07am PaulRobeson1920: @Buddha @9:42 I hope you are feeling better these days away from the fumes! Walking to the Bridge takes about 45 mins from my apartment, and i’ll walk Queens Blvd. or 48th Street most of the way
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: Hitting the right vibe, Joe.
	10:13am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! I like the line in the song "You make me feel like a big dope."
	10:14am Handy Haversack: OK, heading out to the pond. Thanks, Joe. Be well, all.
	👻 10:18am YETI BOB: wishing you perfect paddling pleasure, pal!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Thanks, YB!

	10:24am Listener Alexandra: Top of the morning to you, Joe!
	10:25am Joe McG: Hey Alex! What was the name of that soap? It's really good and I threw away the wrapper!
	10:25am WoodsOfNH: @Handy Gees, man..you've had some spectacular paddling weather!
	10:26am David (in London): Yo Groovers. I'm back in the house. Handy, morphester, Brian.
	10:26am Doug in JC: @Handy Hey, hope you had a good trip!
	10:27am morphe': Wow ... never heard this version.... saw them at the old Dancetereia... 57 Street.. Famous photo of the Marqueee... 3 Teens Kill 4 No Motive - an amazing nyc band...

	10:33am Krys O.: Nice!
	10:33am Colleen: Dig it!!
	10:35am pantz: Definitely played by The Love Boat house band on the Lido Deck.
	10:35am Terr in DE: Joe, thanks for your reply. For the record "The Biggest Bundle of Them All" Not spys, criminals.Established vs new.
	👻 10:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe and surface noise enthusiasts! How about a Hooked On Special with all the disco-ized covers you can dig up some day?
	10:36am Joe McG: Not a bad idea, Henry! I sure have a lot of them.
	10:37am WoodsOfNH: Where's my leisure suit?
	10:38am yerfriendpaul: @pantz - ha ha!
	10:39am Terr in DE: NO! Disco sucked,now sucks, and will always suck. Nothing against Dance in general , just the Hustle.
	👻 10:39am Hughie Considine: That's a pretty retrograde 'tude
	10:39am Joe McG: @Terr: You're going to love my All Hustle Special!
	10:41am Terr in DE: que Elvis, "Don't Be Cruel"
	10:42am morphe': Repeat story::: was invited to a Retro Disco party in Willyburg Loft - 1995??? Madatory dreesss code... I went and bought some Haines 3 for $6.99 on 14th Street and wrote" Disco Sucks" They would not let me in so I took the fire escape.... Long Live BKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:45am Krys O.: Doug Kershaw!!! What a character.
	10:45am Hubig Pie: Kershaw?
	10:45am Luziana gal: Missing my pappa
	10:46am Krys O.: Here's Doug doing Louisiana Man on the Porter Wagoner TV show: youtu.be...
	10:47am Earth Walker: That’s funny morphe. I remember lots of disco sucks T-shirts in Bay Ridge We hated disco but ended up doing the Hustle
	10:47am Photoline: Brix Smith!
	10:47am Joe McG: Thanks, Krys O.! Great link.

	10:50am Earth Walker: Let’s not forget Studio 54 That was a cool club Loved it
	10:50am PaulRobeson1920: Where were you when I needed ya?
	10:50am Terr in DE: great song most Grass Roots early ones were.For a faux band they were good
	10:50am Photoline: Filmy with horror
	10:52am David (in London): Hey Earth Walker. We didn't really have that whole Disco Sucks thing much in the UK. It lived alongside Punk quite happily most of the time. Watching Top of the Pops in those days was a smorgasbord of craziness.
	👻 10:52am YETI BOB: I used to play Colin Newman's "A-Z" album A LOT in the 80s, I kind of wore it out. You don't hear those tunes on the radio very often. Thanks Joe!
	10:54am egould310: This Cardboard Castle sure is quirky. Yeah, quirky. Okay. It sucks. Thanks for playing it, Joe!
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: "We Means We Starts" - awesome Colin Newman 7" 45, non-album track. Spin that one sometime, Joe!
	10:56am Photoline: Meatloaf meets Ethel Merman
	10:56am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone!
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Does everyone know the story of (lousy) DJ Steve Dahl and his attempted "Disco Demolition Night" in 1979?
	10:57am morphe': Earth - I got beaten by guidos on 3rd Ave one August night (1974??)... Cadillac, baseballbats - they calling me a Hick (levis, converse and plaid shirt) ... then - 2-3 weeks later was the anti disco riot in front of the Disco joint 71st and 3rd... I was but 12 and about to be going to Xaverian ..... to HS ... Met the guys in Xaverian who beat me ... there was like a classic arranged West Side Story fight on Shore Rd which to a truce.... Long live Bklyn....
	10:57am David (in London): Yo spodiodi. Yeti Bob - Not I. Do tell.
	10:57am egould310: @photoline You nailed it. :-)
	10:59am Doug in JC: @yeti bob - wasn't that part of a larger anti-gay campaign? That usually gets buried
	10:59am Earth Walker: David right ! Did the Punk scene Other End Bitter End ect... So cool
	10:59am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe and all
	11:00am Earth Walker: Hollies. Volume 10 please !!
	11:00am WoodsOfNH: I used to proclaim to hate disco back then but then Ammi Stewart's version of "Knock On Wood" would come on the radio and I'd turn it up loud.
	11:00am David (in London): Hey Coela. I've always rather hated this song, but it sound good in Single File. Joe McGasko's magic touch I guess.
	11:00am Stevel: He Ain't Heavy is more beautiful to me every time I hear it. Peace.
	11:01am Sybil: This song just choked me up for real.
	11:01am Hubig Pie: You talkin' bout the White Sox double header ? Harry Carey trying to get the hippies to sing Take me out to the Ballgame?
	11:01am Terr in DE: Joe, you stumped google ! I seem to remember Cardboard Castles. When was it a hit and by whom if you know ?
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Why are some people so afraid of other music that violence ensues?
	👻 11:02am YETI BOB: Well, it wasn't part of an organized ant-gay campaign. But it sure looks homophobic and racist in hindsight. I was a teenage wannabe-punk and I also got on board with "Disco Sucks" - but I was young and naive and partly just following my peers. And TBH disco was just too ubiquitous and was getting over-marketed, we hated Zep and the Stones for the same reason. So I don't think everyone who says or said "Disco Sucks" is a racist homophobe. BUT ...
	11:03am Sybil: @ Brian in UK: You got me, it makes no sense.
	👻 11:03am YETI BOB: the "Disco Demolition" thing - a stunt organized at a baseball game - really brought it out. I was in NJ at the time - I did not attend this! But it's a legendary bit of Chicago history. Lots has been written about it.
	👻 11:04am YETI BOB: People were supposed to bring disco records to this game, and the loudmouth jackass DJ was going to put them in a crate and blow them up. It didn't go well.
	11:06am David (in London): Joe. There was a classic MfP album 'Ray Davies and his Funky Trumpet'. First came across it in a rented holiday cottage many years ago.
	11:06am coelacanth∅: 'afternoon David
	11:06am Hubig Pie: He did blow them up. It was between games at a double header. The second game never got played
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: Rhett Davies was one of the engineers on Robert Palmer's first wonderful album on Island.
	11:07am morphe': Must go to play raquet with my Simon.... Thanks all... in transit to NYC tomorrow ... Might be timed out by the Covod police - enroute from horrible hotspot Madrid>>> Thanks Joe for this and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:07am Sybil: I remember the year I moved to NYC, it suddenly seemed as if what were once quirks of musical tastebwere now suddenly convictions. Year 1978.
	11:08am Martinibomb: Woooo thanks for the Plug!!! A++
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: quoting Wikipedia - Nile Rodgers, producer and guitarist for the disco-era band Chic, likened the event to Nazi book burning. Gloria Gaynor, who had a huge disco hit with "I Will Survive", stated, "I've always believed it was an economic decision—an idea created by someone whose economic bottom line was being adversely affected by the popularity of disco music. So they got a mob mentality going." Harry Wayne Casey, singer for the disco act KC and the Sunshine Band, did not believe Disco Demolition Night was discriminatory, and felt that Dahl was simply an "idiot".
	11:08am Earth Walker: Morbhe. Didn’t get accepted to Xaverian got on the waiting list Bishop Ford I remember those Cadillac driving hot heads not cool 74 was a good LSD Year !
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: you can read more here: www.theguardian.com... or here: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:09am Mike Sin: Stony Brook People... must investigate.
	11:09am Jett: @Joe McG Always liked Liz Damon's Orient Express, but did you know that 1900 Yesterday and the great b side to that record were both originally done by Betty Everett? Also Betty Everett's versions are even better.
	11:09am Martinibomb: Hologram Teen is awesome I can't wait for her DJ set
	11:10am Terr in DE: Yeti Bob, seems that the DJ was doing a public service, why the negative description?
	11:10am Asheville Jon: Joe, NEXT thursday is october. holy cow, you gave me a heart attack just saying 'thursday" (implying this coming thursday)
	11:11am chris_in_space: Anyone catch when Pounding System with Clay is filling-in this week? I missed what @Joe McG said. What a cool blast from the past.
	11:12am Earth Walker: Yeti Bob. Good read Thanks
	👻 11:12am karlward: I refuse to forget what you told me
	11:12am Joe McG: @chris: Sorry, it's NEXT Friday night, not this.
	11:13am efd: @chris it's this coming Friday night at midnight, filling in for Rich H/Inflatable Squirrel Carcass.
	11:13am Jeezuseffinchrist: YESSSSSS!!!!!
	11:13am Joe McG: Oh, I give up! Just stay tuned forever, as Faye says.
	👻 11:14am YETI BOB: @TerrInDE: It was awful, turned into a riot. They whipped the crowd into a frenzy and then it got out of control, people storming the field. If you saw pictures, I think you would not want to be one of these people. A bunch of the worst kind of lunkheads behaving badly. A total embarrassment, IMO. Well Yippers, I've blazed through my allotted number of comments, see you another place / another time!
	11:14am efd: @Joe you can tell it's this Friday night because it's before Hologram Teen in the upcoming listings. :D
	11:14am Earth Walker: Happy Trails Globe trotting Morphe !
	11:15am Jeezuseffinchrist: Can you play the Piano Has Been Drinking next/?? Plleeeease?
	11:15am Terr in DE: wow! and Captain Combover wasn t even prez
	11:15am zopa: Don't give up Joe! I was going to ask about the fundraiser anyway. Great to know in advance. You ARE living in the future, and you ARE a mindreader!
	11:15am Joe McG: @efd: I missed the DJ class for how to read Upcoming.
	11:15am Krys O.: Big Time was on TCM recently. That was fun, especially to see my pal, Ralph Carney in the band.
	11:16am WoodsOfNH: Got to see Waits on the Mule Variations tour. Pure friggin' magic.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Ah the crack of dawn, love the old ones. Got whiskers on just like TW.
	11:16am Jeezuseffinchrist: @Woods super jealous
	11:16am spodiodi: yo David in London! how are things? ( had to reboot )
	11:16am coelacanth∅: i thought most disco sucked, but there were exceptions. i wasn't on a disco sucks bandwagon. i wasn't vocal about my opinion -except that a girlfriend wrote "disco sucks" on my notebook and i did leave it there. the phrase very definitely was not racist or homophobic in my world. the hatred for it was for the culture of apathy and self-indulgence, and for the relative "shallowness" of the music itself.
	11:17am spodiodi: i hear that, coelacanth∅
	11:18am coelacanth∅: good morning spodi
	11:18am spodiodi: first i've heard of discosuckscancel
	11:18am spodiodi: good morning, coel!
	11:19am Terr in DE: lol, Tom played my college this tour the crack of dawn line cracked me up then and now too.
	11:19am Phillippe Bastille: Hey there!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: For further info Uncle Michael did a Cisco Ducks show a while back. www.wfmu.org...
	11:19am Earth Walker: Racist and Homophobic were definitely not on my radar screen either
	11:20am Krys O.: I recall the racial inference when I'd overhear kids in school disparage disco back in the day. It tended to come from a lunkheaded element.
	11:20am listener Rey: Thanks for that link Brian
	11:20am spodiodi: that's sweet, Brian in UK lol. thanks
	11:20am David (in London): Hey Phillippe. Spod - Yeah, good thanks pal. Just had a week away at the coast, so feeling uber-refreshed at the moment. How's yourself?
	11:21am Listener Scott: Oh wow, I never heard this cover. Fantastic. Thanks Joe.
	11:21am spodiodi: have only ever heard Tom Waits' version of Martha. sweet again.
	11:21am spodiodi: thanks, Joe
	11:21am Yes: nice tim buckley
	11:21am Phillippe Bastille: 'sup DiL, Spodi, Handy, Coel?
	11:22am βrian: Disco was akin to hyper-processed food. It felt clinical. The polar opposite of funk, say.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: i hated most of disco, but i wrote a song at the time about the hope that punk and disco would merge at some point.
	11:22am spodiodi: hope it was great, David. that sounds nice! i need to get out of the city 8^) not much news here other holding back the endless parade of weasels yo Phillippe!
	11:23am Terr in DE: my friend Sue, Key West, 77, use to hang out w the Byrds as a 16 y old.Tom use to play at parties she d attend. All cities are also small towns
	👻 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and Disco Ducks!
	11:23am Yes: i like this set
	11:24am zopa: I'm curious to know, with regard to disco, who benefitted the most financially - the artists or the producers?
	11:24am spodiodi: coel, i like that lofty goal. would love to hear about it sometime :D
	11:25am Martinibomb: @coela I love disco but there's this point where it becomes mainstream and then everything gets "disco-fied" that's the stuff I hate or find hilarious for how terrible it is heh. I thin Don O is planning a space disco set soon. I don't like the idea of destroying records tho.. that disco sucks thing reminds me of book burners.
	11:25am Yes: iris dement's voice melts my heart
	11:25am coelacanth∅: βrian, exactly. i referred to it as "soulless" at the time...which might have some relevance in a conversation about racism in "disco sucks".
	11:26am spodiodi: Cisco Ducks is going to be stuck in my head for a while
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, whilst driving the other day this daft thought occured that the thunder on the Door's Riders of the Storm was from one of Jac Holzman's Sound Effects records. I know, concentrate on driving.
	👻 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Country Dick Montana of The Beat Farmers, one of the rare cases where a performer died on stage.
	11:26am βrian: Reminds me of a local bike club that used to have a Huffy Toss at it's yearly picnic.
	11:26am WoodsOfNH: @Jeezuseffinchrist He started with "Jockey Full of Bourbon." I was transported. Had a chance to go the second night (this was in Boston) and didn't want to spend the money. Then I read the review: He came from the back of the theatre with a bullhorn, screaming "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Dang it, I shoulda spent the $$$!!!!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Wait's songs could be made for Iris Dement.
	11:27am egould310: They took all their things, and they never came back? That is literally the definition of “moving up”. Happens everyday.
	11:27am WoodsOfNH: This whole compilation is fabulous.
	11:27am coelacanth∅: haha spodi the song sucked a lot more than disco ever did! ...but it did kind of happen
	11:27am spodiodi: βrian, that Huffy toss sounds fun. I've been to motorcycle parties where "foreign bikes" were dropped from cranes, put on the bonfire, etc. the chldrens' version/huffy thing is new to me :D
	11:28am Acid Cazh: I'm loving this "many angles of Tom Waits" set. Thanks Joe McGasko for a perfect last-day-of-summer soundtrack.
	11:29am kpx: @JoeMcG: you've said earlier that Autumn starts at midnight tomorrow when in fact it will start precisely at 09:31 AM. I don't recall if you ever log on the garbage time chat; but if you do I'd like to suggest that you me and anyone else; post "happy start of August" at exactly 9:31am tomorrow.
	11:29am Jeezuseffinchrist: ohhhh I love this song <3
	11:30am Yes: hello, mr. pocket
	11:30am Joe McG: @kpx: My autumn's done come....early.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: To slightly misquote Ray Davies, yes, yes yes it's the Autumn Equinox.
	11:33am Brian D: Never heard the Neko Case version before. Lovely. Thank you, Joe.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: Mbomb i still dislike most "disco" but there were always exception and there are a lot more now. i also, in the 70s, only knew whatever disco was on the radio. - and yeah even my friends -most of whom probably hated disco more than i did, understood how ludicrous the whole thing got. we could all agree there were bigger fish to fry.
	11:33am dano59: Excellent Tom foolery in this set
	11:35am Joe McG: "Tom Foolery"! I like!
	11:35am Jeffrey Davison: Great show as usual Joe...
	👻 11:35am 12539: I don't know what you had for breakfast today, Joe, but please have the same thing next Monday.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ I have some fried Spratts the other day, heads off, guts out, dredged in seasoned flour and fried. delicious; but they were not bigger fish.
	11:36am Hallow: Joe! Can someone please look at this page on the website and fix it? Still shows old staff. Thx! https://wfmu.org/about/
	11:36am PaulRobeson1920: Eggmart brand eggs
	11:36am βrian: Could Jack Sprat eat any spratts?
	11:36am David (in London): Brian, I'm getting spratt envy now.
	11:37am Joe McG: Thanks, JD, great to see you! @12539: I think it was "Weimar Wheaties." @Hallow: I'll try to remember, thanks for the head's up!
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Marianne Faithful!
	11:37am kpx: @JoeMcG: well I'm going to try to do it, that is if I don't forget. and I urge anyone else to be there and do the same. it just might create a micro event.
	11:38am Chop Scott: Great show Joe!
	11:38am chris_in_space: Thanks @Joe McG and @efd for confirmation re: Pounding System. No one did dark, minimalist beats like Clay did back in the day.
	11:39am Joe McG: Great to see you always, Chop Scott!
	11:40am coelacanth∅: Brian (iUK) "better fish to fry"? okay i'm changing that expression. i generally do choose quality over quantity after all.
	11:41am coelacanth∅: (...though i have to say, i've never even heard of "spratts" before!) (will explore)
	11:41am adampsyche: which DJ will have the courage to play an entire earth wind and fire "september" show today
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ a Saturday Night Fish Fry would do me.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: You eat them a bit like a cartoon cat eating a fish. Hold the tail, fish in mouth and pull tail out along with spine. A rather satisfying way to eat.
	11:44am coelacanth∅: let's do it! we'll meet in the middle. bring your snorkel.
	11:45am βrian: Similar to smelt, I imagine. But with smelt, you generally eat everything but the head.
	👻 11:45am tadpoles: Wow...Scarlett Johansson. Great show thanks Joe.
	11:46am coelacanth∅: haha Brian, great visual!
	11:46am Mike W: just the name Linda Thompson is a killing weapon... —me, in tears
	11:47am PaulRobeson1920: Smelt fish on Spelt bread
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: @βrian kind of; closer to Whitebait.
	11:47am coelacanth∅: yes Scarlett's an actor. was she just acting like a really good singer?
	11:48am Joe McG: I think ScarJo is great, but it's kind of unfair to put her next to a master like Linda Thompson.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: As the cliche goes, this show is one for the ages. Thank you.
	11:49am Hawkeye: This set is really perfect for the weather out there. Thanks Mr Joe
	11:49am Jeffrey Davison: Putting almost anyone next to Linda Thompson is unfair.
	11:50am Hawkeye: The tear of Autumn rolls down the Summer cheek
	11:50am kpx: would have paid more attention to that last song if I knew it was Scarlett Johansson. I had no idea that she sang.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Late comer to Linda Thompson, better late than.......
	11:51am Joe McG: @JD: True enough! @Hawkeye: Nicely put!
	11:51am coelacanth∅: if you play september song i'll break down
	11:53am McGroovey: Good show, Joe!
	11:53am David (in London): Great show today Joe. Thankee.
	11:53am egould310: Listening to Joe McGasko spin an Autumn set on an Autumn Dawn. Sublime. https://twitter.com/egould310/status/1308071194738868224?s=21
	11:53am βrian: Urge For Going?
	11:53am coelacanth∅: but instead i feel a JR binge coming on...
	11:54am McGroovey: Not commenting because I had my mouth full of breakfast, and I've been reading the Carl Hiaasen book. Read it, y'all.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for the advertising, egould310! And thanks to everyone for listening and commenting today. "Urge for Going" is a lovely idea, but that's a different Tom. :) Have a great week, everyone! See you next time.
	11:54am βrian: FYI: Irene is coming up on the Drummer Stream wfmu.org...
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be careful out there.
	11:55am kpx: now I'm very curious to hear this September song!. to echo everyone, good show Joe.
	11:55am spodiodi: thanks, Joe! take care
	11:56am KWilde: Thanks Joe - Great show as usual
	11:57am spodiodi: i was worried he croaked when i first arrived. phew.
	11:57am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff Joe! Thanks Skeltons!
	11:57am McGroovey: Wait. Irene is on? I'm so out of the loop. But I was about to enjoy Belock. It's like in the seventies when they put something up against Ironsides (can't remember what) and killed off Ironsides
	11:57am Stanley: Lurked and listened. Thanks Joe.
	11:58am Earth Walker: Thanks Joe Always a Great Show !
	11:58am kpx: @McGroovey: I think you meant to say; I'm not commenting because my hands are full of breakfast.
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Great show Joe!
	12:00pm McGroovey: No, my hands were mostly full of book.
	3:46pm Jeff Moore: Catching up with this show from the archive... Hearing that swingin' treatment of the Perry Mason theme reminds me: did you watch the new noir Tiny Toons Perry Mason on HBO? It was pretty good, definitely good enough to recommend. Germane to this playlist, though – I really enjoyed it when licks from the original Perry Mason theme began peeking through into the music (I believe starting after our pal Perry began to get into lawyering). And there was a gritty swing to the tune.
	3:57pm Jeff Moore: More on Terence Blanchard's music for the HBO Perry Mason... This post has excerpts from the whole set of soundtrack music. The End Credits music undergoes transitions as the series progresses; in "End Credits - Perry Mason - Chapter 8" you hear the original show's theme now coming through unequivocally. www.menshealth.com...

	9:08am TDK60: The plot thickens this early?

	9:15am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Watched a bunch of the pink panther last night,super duper.
	9:15am Joe McG: Hey, you mugs and dames. Stand under the streetlight so I can see you.
	9:15am StringOFperils: The moon rippled in the pool of oil where I came to. My head felt like someone had buried the hatchet right dead center of my whiskey-soaked brain. Pistol-whipped for the third time tonight. That's what you get in this racket. As I peeled one eye open, I could make out the silhouette of the Empire State Building, inverted, like a dagger hanging over me. It was then that I realized I had to scrape myself off the pavement. McGasko would be on the air soon, and I had to get back to the office.
	👻 9:16am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, thanks for the tactical wallop to our senses to start the show. And now comes the healing segment of the show...

	👻 9:21am YETI BOB: We took an imaginary trip to New Orleans this weekend, inspired by finding a piece of andoulle sausage at the market. I made a big pot of gumbo, we listened to WWOZ, and my wife made sazeracs using what we had on hand - Basil Hayden bourbon and a shot of absinthe - it was wonderful!!
	👻 9:21am LastWhiteRhino: Boom, Chikca... Boom. Boom, Boom !

	9:24am word: This is such a great set @Joe McG.
	9:24am David (in London): Buddha, many belated happy returns. Shame you didn't make it over here, but when you do, we'll let the good times roll.
	9:24am Matt: DJ Food all up in this
	9:24am Dennis Diken: Go Joe! Hi all!
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: I've been mostly staying home since covid hit, I've barely left the city and most days I don't really leave the house. Yesterday we drove to St Charles IL (town along the Fox River, just an hour away) and it felt like a major vacation.
	9:25am Asheville Jon: hey everyone, i have pledged to the fall fund drive, have you??? do it now! it's easy, it's painless.
	9:25am David (in London): Ah, Alex North. In the days before Stanley Kubrick trashed his mind.

	9:27am Mike W: M SQUAD! This is Benny Carter — “Lonely Beat” was the theme music I swiped for my ’90s show in Mpls, True Crime Radio. Awesome pick @Joe!
	9:28am Gord: Yeti — We've barely ventured out of the five boroughs last winter . . . but the last place we did go was New Orleans, in late January.
	9:28am Joe McG: @Mike W: Ooh, "True Crime Radio" sounds like a fun show!
	9:29am Yes: morning everyone
	9:29am TimBk: Loving the film noir music Joe, btw, if anyone has a digital antenna for their tv in NYC area they can pick up the channel Movies! (channel They pretty much has obscure film noir movies every night as well as well curated weird movies and classics.
	9:29am sydnius: Unfortunately it’s serving 5 to 10
	9:30am David (in London): I gotta blow this crummy joint. Back in an hour or so...
	9:30am wfmu listener phillip: I remember the Yip Yip segment on sesame street with a phone. it was soo creepy to me it freaked out the 11yr old me.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: @Gord: Same here! New Orleans in Jan, just before Mardi Gras! It was great. Can't wait to go back there, it's truly one of my favorite places in the USA. @Mike W: Somehow I never heard of M Squad, I see that it was set in Chicago and starred Lee Marvin, I'm going to have to go find some episodes on UTube.
	9:30am chris_in_space: Morning Surface Noisers! Lovin' this 'naked city' vibe, @Joe McG!
	9:31am yerfriendpaul: Loving this mix, Joe. I feel like I’m in the middle of a gritty, sordid criminal investigation.
	9:32am wfmu listener phillip: WOW!! this is some cool lounge music Joe McG
	9:32am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm going to get going. Bye everyone! Have a great day! I love your playlist today Joe McGasko makes me want to paint or do something creative while listening to yester year jazz. It's great stuff. Blessingsx. Stay safe and if you are out wear your mask and practice social distancing! Hi YerfriendPaul! Talk soon!
	9:32am yerfriendpaul: Hey Boods!
	9:33am Bill W: Just sitting with a bottle of gin in my lonely crime jazz apartment...
	9:33am Mike W: @YETI BOB to me it’s canon @Joe McG it was mostly just any music I wanted to play but with lots of b- and c-movie dialogue a la from this shadowy comp: www.discogs.com...
	9:33am Buddha of Suburbia: YerfriendPaul, not sure if I sent your postcard from Maine or I have to send it from CT. but I know I filled out one for you.
	9:34am dougseidel: i just donated $ also - thanks WFMU for being a good ark to travel in during the flood
	👻 9:34am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Mornin' Joe and friends!
	9:34am Colleen: So sooo gooood Joe!!!
	9:35am yerfriendpaul: @Buddha - Cool, can’t wait to see it!
	9:36am John in Phoenixville: Love this tune in “Kiss Me Deadly.”
	9:37am Tom from Stirling: Thank you1 Thank you! My ears feel so happy now!
	9:37am wfmu listener phillip: yeah baby (snaps fingers) I feel like I should be wearing a Zoot suit
	9:38am PaulRobeson1920: @Buddha @9:20 We have walked the same path! I know that walk well! Beautiful day for it
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: it starts at 7:30 AM (Eastern) - that's the Equnox
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: um, Equinox - tomorrow morning
	9:39am StringOFperils: Who's the gunsel?
	9:39am sydnius: Time to whip out the Jarré
	9:39am WoodsOfNH: My name is Joe McG and I am wearing a cocktail dress!
	9:41am John in Phoenixville: Not Robert Wagner, Joe. Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer.
	9:41am Switchblade Batman: Re: Kiss me deadly. He stumbled onto a dame and was looking for her, no GF or wife to kill. I watched it pretty recently
	9:42am Buddha of Suburbia: Couldn't forget about you YerfriendPaul! And PaulRobeson1920, I would walk the back streets. It's a nice walk if you don't end up sucking up car fumes. Unfortunately, I did and had a bad case of bronchitis and scaled back from that walk. I think it was 6 miles each way or was it 4 miles each way?
	9:42am The Oscar: Mornin'! John beat me to it, but Kiss Me Deadly is NUTS. It's the source of the glowy-breifcase in Pulp Fiction, only here it's pretty clearly supposed to be an atomic bomb. Also Mike Hammer is unambiguously a psychopath in it.
	9:43am Buddha of Suburbia: Switchblade Batman, great profile pic GIF!
	9:44am egould310: Watched “Mr. Lucky” on Amazon Prime. Great show. Classic Blake Edwards themes/obsessions. Funny. Gambling. Fist fights/gun fights every episode.
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: Oops, I messed up the Central-Eastern time zone conversion. It's 8:30 Central, 9:30 Eastern. Hope this didn't mess up anybody's plans :)
	9:45am ΨNs: Jean la fittes old Absinthe house in New Orleans. https://www.ruebourbon.com/old-absinthe-house
	9:46am Joe McG: Oh, that's so great to hear! You can still find one when you walk the Bourbon Street beat!
	9:47am Joe McG: Ah, yes, "Kiss Me Deadly" is Mike Hammer. Nutty cuckoo. What's the one with Robert Wagner?
	9:48am John in Phoenixville: @Switchblade Batman @The Oscar ... and a young Cloris Leachman is the dame he stumbles upon.
	9:50am The Oscar: @John That's right! I think I read somewhere that the director, Robert Aldrich, was very left-leaning and considered Hammer to be a fascist icon, so he went out of his way to make him as unlikable and dimwitted as possible.
	9:50am Martinibomb: Gooooooood morning Joe!
	9:51am Switchblade Batman: @The Oscar, he was. But it was really interesting watch though.
	9:52am Joe McG: Hey Trista! Hey Martinibomb!
	9:53am Mike W: DOIN’ CRIMES TO PELL MELL go go go go crimes
	9:55am Joe McG: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Don't do it.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Morning there, Joe and all the Yippers. Late hello on the morning of our last day of being away from most of it all.
	9:56am The Oscar: @Batman Oh, for sure-- one of my favorite films noir, easy!
	9:56am Joe McG: The Robert Wagner movie was "A Kiss Before Dying." Also good, if not as whacked out as "Kiss Me Deadly."
	9:57am βrian: Tomorrow will be day 190. Oof.
	9:58am pantz: If the movie doesn't have Sydney Greenstreet, can it truly be considered a hard-boiled detective movie?
	10:00am The Oscar: I used to confuse Kiss Me Deadly with The Naked Kiss, an even more gonzo '50s movie by Sam Fuller. Both are definitely worth seeking out.
	10:02am Joe McG: @Oscar: Yes, "The Naked Kiss" is nutty, too!
	10:02am Martinibomb: I just watched Criss Cross and Gun Crazy over the weekend speaking of Film Noir
	10:03am Terr in DE: Morning Joe and hard boiled listeners. Whats the Wagner film where hes a spy and tapes a Squash match as evidence
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Terr: I'm not sure! Let me know if you remember. @Martinibomb: "Criss Cross" is Lancaster and Stanwyck, right? Love that one!
	10:07am PaulRobeson1920: @Buddha @9:42 I hope you are feeling better these days away from the fumes! Walking to the Bridge takes about 45 mins from my apartment, and i’ll walk Queens Blvd. or 48th Street most of the way
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: Hitting the right vibe, Joe.
	10:13am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! I like the line in the song "You make me feel like a big dope."
	10:14am Handy Haversack: OK, heading out to the pond. Thanks, Joe. Be well, all.
	👻 10:18am YETI BOB: wishing you perfect paddling pleasure, pal!

	10:33am Colleen: Dig it!!
	10:35am pantz: Definitely played by The Love Boat house band on the Lido Deck.
	10:35am Terr in DE: Joe, thanks for your reply. For the record "The Biggest Bundle of Them All" Not spys, criminals.Established vs new.
	👻 10:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe and surface noise enthusiasts! How about a Hooked On Special with all the disco-ized covers you can dig up some day?
	10:36am Joe McG: Not a bad idea, Henry! I sure have a lot of them.
	10:37am WoodsOfNH: Where's my leisure suit?
	10:38am yerfriendpaul: @pantz - ha ha!
	10:39am Terr in DE: NO! Disco sucked,now sucks, and will always suck. Nothing against Dance in general , just the Hustle.
	👻 10:39am Hughie Considine: That's a pretty retrograde 'tude
	10:39am Joe McG: @Terr: You're going to love my All Hustle Special!
	10:41am Terr in DE: que Elvis, "Don't Be Cruel"
	10:42am morphe': Repeat story::: was invited to a Retro Disco party in Willyburg Loft - 1995??? Madatory dreesss code... I went and bought some Haines 3 for $6.99 on 14th Street and wrote" Disco Sucks" They would not let me in so I took the fire escape.... Long Live BKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:45am Krys O.: Doug Kershaw!!! What a character.

	10:48am Terr in DE: for a joke I have a Poly Leisure Suit. I wear it w Cesear Palace Gold Medallion and Turbin hat i ve only seen Black Ladies wear.
	10:50am Earth Walker: Let’s not forget Studio 54 That was a cool club Loved it
	10:50am PaulRobeson1920: Where were you when I needed ya?
	10:50am Terr in DE: great song most Grass Roots early ones were.For a faux band they were good
	10:50am Photoline: Filmy with horror
	10:52am David (in London): Hey Earth Walker. We didn't really have that whole Disco Sucks thing much in the UK. It lived alongside Punk quite happily most of the time. Watching Top of the Pops in those days was a smorgasbord of craziness.
	👻 10:52am YETI BOB: I used to play Colin Newman's "A-Z" album A LOT in the 80s, I kind of wore it out. You don't hear those tunes on the radio very often. Thanks Joe!
	10:54am egould310: This Cardboard Castle sure is quirky. Yeah, quirky. Okay. It sucks. Thanks for playing it, Joe!
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: "We Means We Starts" - awesome Colin Newman 7" 45, non-album track. Spin that one sometime, Joe!
	10:56am Photoline: Meatloaf meets Ethel Merman
	10:56am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone!
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Does everyone know the story of (lousy) DJ Steve Dahl and his attempted "Disco Demolition Night" in 1979?
	10:57am morphe': Earth - I got beaten by guidos on 3rd Ave one August night (1974??)... Cadillac, baseballbats - they calling me a Hick (levis, converse and plaid shirt) ... then - 2-3 weeks later was the anti disco riot in front of the Disco joint 71st and 3rd... I was but 12 and about to be going to Xaverian ..... to HS ... Met the guys in Xaverian who beat me ... there was like a classic arranged West Side Story fight on Shore Rd which to a truce.... Long live Bklyn....
	10:57am David (in London): Yo spodiodi. Yeti Bob - Not I. Do tell.
	10:57am egould310: @photoline You nailed it. :-)
	10:59am Doug in JC: @yeti bob - wasn't that part of a larger anti-gay campaign? That usually gets buried
	10:59am Earth Walker: David right ! Did the Punk scene Other End Bitter End ect... So cool
	10:59am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe and all
	11:00am Earth Walker: Hollies. Volume 10 please !!
	11:00am WoodsOfNH: I used to proclaim to hate disco back then but then Ammi Stewart's version of "Knock On Wood" would come on the radio and I'd turn it up loud.
	11:00am David (in London): Hey Coela. I've always rather hated this song, but it sound good in Single File. Joe McGasko's magic touch I guess.
	11:00am Stevel: He Ain't Heavy is more beautiful to me every time I hear it. Peace.
	11:01am Sybil: This song just choked me up for real.
	11:01am Hubig Pie: You talkin' bout the White Sox double header ? Harry Carey trying to get the hippies to sing Take me out to the Ballgame?
	11:01am Terr in DE: Joe, you stumped google ! I seem to remember Cardboard Castles. When was it a hit and by whom if you know ?
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Why are some people so afraid of other music that violence ensues?
	👻 11:02am YETI BOB: Well, it wasn't part of an organized ant-gay campaign. But it sure looks homophobic and racist in hindsight. I was a teenage wannabe-punk and I also got on board with "Disco Sucks" - but I was young and naive and partly just following my peers. And TBH disco was just too ubiquitous and was getting over-marketed, we hated Zep and the Stones for the same reason. So I don't think everyone who says or said "Disco Sucks" is a racist homophobe. BUT ...
	11:03am Sybil: @ Brian in UK: You got me, it makes no sense.
	👻 11:03am YETI BOB: the "Disco Demolition" thing - a stunt organized at a baseball game - really brought it out. I was in NJ at the time - I did not attend this! But it's a legendary bit of Chicago history. Lots has been written about it.
	👻 11:04am YETI BOB: People were supposed to bring disco records to this game, and the loudmouth jackass DJ was going to put them in a crate and blow them up. It didn't go well.
	11:06am David (in London): Joe. There was a classic MfP album 'Ray Davies and his Funky Trumpet'. First came across it in a rented holiday cottage many years ago.
	11:06am coelacanth∅: 'afternoon David
	11:06am Hubig Pie: He did blow them up. It was between games at a double header. The second game never got played
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: Rhett Davies was one of the engineers on Robert Palmer's first wonderful album on Island.
	11:07am morphe': Must go to play raquet with my Simon.... Thanks all... in transit to NYC tomorrow ... Might be timed out by the Covod police - enroute from horrible hotspot Madrid>>> Thanks Joe for this and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:07am Sybil: I remember the year I moved to NYC, it suddenly seemed as if what were once quirks of musical tastebwere now suddenly convictions. Year 1978.
	11:08am Martinibomb: Woooo thanks for the Plug!!! A++
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: quoting Wikipedia - Nile Rodgers, producer and guitarist for the disco-era band Chic, likened the event to Nazi book burning. Gloria Gaynor, who had a huge disco hit with "I Will Survive", stated, "I've always believed it was an economic decision—an idea created by someone whose economic bottom line was being adversely affected by the popularity of disco music. So they got a mob mentality going." Harry Wayne Casey, singer for the disco act KC and the Sunshine Band, did not believe Disco Demolition Night was discriminatory, and felt that Dahl was simply an "idiot".
	11:08am Earth Walker: Morbhe. Didn’t get accepted to Xaverian got on the waiting list Bishop Ford I remember those Cadillac driving hot heads not cool 74 was a good LSD Year !
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: you can read more here: www.theguardian.com... or here: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:09am Mike Sin: Stony Brook People... must investigate.
	11:09am Jett: @Joe McG Always liked Liz Damon's Orient Express, but did you know that 1900 Yesterday and the great b side to that record were both originally done by Betty Everett? Also Betty Everett's versions are even better.
	11:09am Martinibomb: Hologram Teen is awesome I can't wait for her DJ set
	11:10am Terr in DE: Yeti Bob, seems that the DJ was doing a public service, why the negative description?
	11:10am Asheville Jon: Joe, NEXT thursday is october. holy cow, you gave me a heart attack just saying 'thursday" (implying this coming thursday)
	11:11am chris_in_space: Anyone catch when Pounding System with Clay is filling-in this week? I missed what @Joe McG said. What a cool blast from the past.
	11:12am Earth Walker: Yeti Bob. Good read Thanks
	👻 11:12am karlward: I refuse to forget what you told me
	11:12am Joe McG: @chris: Sorry, it's NEXT Friday night, not this.
	11:13am efd: @chris it's this coming Friday night at midnight, filling in for Rich H/Inflatable Squirrel Carcass.
	11:13am Jeezuseffinchrist: YESSSSSS!!!!!
	11:13am Joe McG: Oh, I give up! Just stay tuned forever, as Faye says.
	👻 11:14am YETI BOB: @TerrInDE: It was awful, turned into a riot. They whipped the crowd into a frenzy and then it got out of control, people storming the field. If you saw pictures, I think you would not want to be one of these people. A bunch of the worst kind of lunkheads behaving badly. A total embarrassment, IMO. Well Yippers, I've blazed through my allotted number of comments, see you another place / another time!
	11:14am efd: @Joe you can tell it's this Friday night because it's before Hologram Teen in the upcoming listings. :D
	11:14am Earth Walker: Happy Trails Globe trotting Morphe !
	11:15am Jeezuseffinchrist: Can you play the Piano Has Been Drinking next/?? Plleeeease?
	11:15am Terr in DE: wow! and Captain Combover wasn t even prez
	11:15am zopa: Don't give up Joe! I was going to ask about the fundraiser anyway. Great to know in advance. You ARE living in the future, and you ARE a mindreader!
	11:15am Joe McG: @efd: I missed the DJ class for how to read Upcoming.
	11:15am Krys O.: Big Time was on TCM recently. That was fun, especially to see my pal, Ralph Carney in the band.
	11:16am WoodsOfNH: Got to see Waits on the Mule Variations tour. Pure friggin' magic.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Ah the crack of dawn, love the old ones. Got whiskers on just like TW.
	11:16am Jeezuseffinchrist: @Woods super jealous
	11:16am spodiodi: yo David in London! how are things? ( had to reboot )
	11:16am coelacanth∅: i thought most disco sucked, but there were exceptions. i wasn't on a disco sucks bandwagon. i wasn't vocal about my opinion -except that a girlfriend wrote "disco sucks" on my notebook and i did leave it there. the phrase very definitely was not racist or homophobic in my world. the hatred for it was for the culture of apathy and self-indulgence, and for the relative "shallowness" of the music itself.
	11:17am spodiodi: i hear that, coelacanth∅
	11:18am coelacanth∅: good morning spodi
	11:18am spodiodi: first i've heard of discosuckscancel
	11:18am spodiodi: good morning, coel!
	11:19am Terr in DE: lol, Tom played my college this tour the crack of dawn line cracked me up then and now too.
	11:19am Phillippe Bastille: Hey there!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: For further info Uncle Michael did a Cisco Ducks show a while back. www.wfmu.org...
	11:19am Earth Walker: Racist and Homophobic were definitely not on my radar screen either
	11:20am Krys O.: I recall the racial inference when I'd overhear kids in school disparage disco back in the day. It tended to come from a lunkheaded element.
	11:20am listener Rey: Thanks for that link Brian
	11:20am spodiodi: that's sweet, Brian in UK lol. thanks
	11:20am David (in London): Hey Phillippe. Spod - Yeah, good thanks pal. Just had a week away at the coast, so feeling uber-refreshed at the moment. How's yourself?
	11:21am Listener Scott: Oh wow, I never heard this cover. Fantastic. Thanks Joe.
	11:21am spodiodi: have only ever heard Tom Waits' version of Martha. sweet again.
	11:21am spodiodi: thanks, Joe
	11:21am Yes: nice tim buckley
	11:21am Phillippe Bastille: 'sup DiL, Spodi, Handy, Coel?
	11:22am βrian: Disco was akin to hyper-processed food. It felt clinical. The polar opposite of funk, say.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: i hated most of disco, but i wrote a song at the time about the hope that punk and disco would merge at some point.
	11:22am spodiodi: hope it was great, David. that sounds nice! i need to get out of the city 8^) not much news here other holding back the endless parade of weasels yo Phillippe!
	11:23am Terr in DE: my friend Sue, Key West, 77, use to hang out w the Byrds as a 16 y old.Tom use to play at parties she d attend. All cities are also small towns
	👻 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and Disco Ducks!
	11:23am Yes: i like this set
	11:24am zopa: I'm curious to know, with regard to disco, who benefitted the most financially - the artists or the producers?
	11:24am spodiodi: coel, i like that lofty goal. would love to hear about it sometime :D
	11:25am Martinibomb: @coela I love disco but there's this point where it becomes mainstream and then everything gets "disco-fied" that's the stuff I hate or find hilarious for how terrible it is heh. I thin Don O is planning a space disco set soon. I don't like the idea of destroying records tho.. that disco sucks thing reminds me of book burners.
	11:25am Yes: iris dement's voice melts my heart
	11:25am coelacanth∅: βrian, exactly. i referred to it as "soulless" at the time...which might have some relevance in a conversation about racism in "disco sucks".
	11:26am spodiodi: Cisco Ducks is going to be stuck in my head for a while
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, whilst driving the other day this daft thought occured that the thunder on the Door's Riders of the Storm was from one of Jac Holzman's Sound Effects records. I know, concentrate on driving.
	👻 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Country Dick Montana of The Beat Farmers, one of the rare cases where a performer died on stage.
	11:26am βrian: Reminds me of a local bike club that used to have a Huffy Toss at it's yearly picnic.
	11:26am WoodsOfNH: @Jeezuseffinchrist He started with "Jockey Full of Bourbon." I was transported. Had a chance to go the second night (this was in Boston) and didn't want to spend the money. Then I read the review: He came from the back of the theatre with a bullhorn, screaming "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Dang it, I shoulda spent the $$$!!!!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Wait's songs could be made for Iris Dement.
	11:27am egould310: They took all their things, and they never came back? That is literally the definition of “moving up”. Happens everyday.
	11:27am WoodsOfNH: This whole compilation is fabulous.
	11:27am coelacanth∅: haha spodi the song sucked a lot more than disco ever did! ...but it did kind of happen
	11:27am spodiodi: βrian, that Huffy toss sounds fun. I've been to motorcycle parties where "foreign bikes" were dropped from cranes, put on the bonfire, etc. the chldrens' version/huffy thing is new to me :D
	11:28am Acid Cazh: I'm loving this "many angles of Tom Waits" set. Thanks Joe McGasko for a perfect last-day-of-summer soundtrack.
	11:29am kpx: @JoeMcG: you've said earlier that Autumn starts at midnight tomorrow when in fact it will start precisely at 09:31 AM. I don't recall if you ever log on the garbage time chat; but if you do I'd like to suggest that you me and anyone else; post "happy start of August" at exactly 9:31am tomorrow.
	11:29am Jeezuseffinchrist: ohhhh I love this song <3
	11:30am Yes: hello, mr. pocket
	11:30am Joe McG: @kpx: My autumn's done come....early.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: To slightly misquote Ray Davies, yes, yes yes it's the Autumn Equinox.
	11:33am Brian D: Never heard the Neko Case version before. Lovely. Thank you, Joe.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: Mbomb i still dislike most "disco" but there were always exception and there are a lot more now. i also, in the 70s, only knew whatever disco was on the radio. - and yeah even my friends -most of whom probably hated disco more than i did, understood how ludicrous the whole thing got. we could all agree there were bigger fish to fry.
	11:33am dano59: Excellent Tom foolery in this set
	11:35am Joe McG: "Tom Foolery"! I like!
	11:35am Jeffrey Davison: Great show as usual Joe...
	👻 11:35am 12539: I don't know what you had for breakfast today, Joe, but please have the same thing next Monday.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ I have some fried Spratts the other day, heads off, guts out, dredged in seasoned flour and fried. delicious; but they were not bigger fish.
	11:36am Hallow: Joe! Can someone please look at this page on the website and fix it? Still shows old staff. Thx! https://wfmu.org/about/
	11:36am PaulRobeson1920: Eggmart brand eggs
	11:36am βrian: Could Jack Sprat eat any spratts?
	11:36am David (in London): Brian, I'm getting spratt envy now.
	11:37am Joe McG: Thanks, JD, great to see you! @12539: I think it was "Weimar Wheaties." @Hallow: I'll try to remember, thanks for the head's up!
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Marianne Faithful!
	11:37am kpx: @JoeMcG: well I'm going to try to do it, that is if I don't forget. and I urge anyone else to be there and do the same. it just might create a micro event.
	11:38am Chop Scott: Great show Joe!
	11:38am chris_in_space: Thanks @Joe McG and @efd for confirmation re: Pounding System. No one did dark, minimalist beats like Clay did back in the day.
	11:39am Joe McG: Great to see you always, Chop Scott!
	11:40am coelacanth∅: Brian (iUK) "better fish to fry"? okay i'm changing that expression. i generally do choose quality over quantity after all.
	11:41am coelacanth∅: (...though i have to say, i've never even heard of "spratts" before!) (will explore)
	11:41am adampsyche: which DJ will have the courage to play an entire earth wind and fire "september" show today
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ a Saturday Night Fish Fry would do me.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: You eat them a bit like a cartoon cat eating a fish. Hold the tail, fish in mouth and pull tail out along with spine. A rather satisfying way to eat.
	11:44am coelacanth∅: let's do it! we'll meet in the middle. bring your snorkel.
	11:45am βrian: Similar to smelt, I imagine. But with smelt, you generally eat everything but the head.
	👻 11:45am tadpoles: Wow...Scarlett Johansson. Great show thanks Joe.
	11:46am coelacanth∅: haha Brian, great visual!
	11:46am Mike W: just the name Linda Thompson is a killing weapon... —me, in tears
	11:47am PaulRobeson1920: Smelt fish on Spelt bread
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: @βrian kind of; closer to Whitebait.
	11:47am coelacanth∅: yes Scarlett's an actor. was she just acting like a really good singer?
	11:48am Joe McG: I think ScarJo is great, but it's kind of unfair to put her next to a master like Linda Thompson.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: As the cliche goes, this show is one for the ages. Thank you.
	11:49am Hawkeye: This set is really perfect for the weather out there. Thanks Mr Joe
	11:49am Jeffrey Davison: Putting almost anyone next to Linda Thompson is unfair.
	11:50am Hawkeye: The tear of Autumn rolls down the Summer cheek
	11:50am kpx: would have paid more attention to that last song if I knew it was Scarlett Johansson. I had no idea that she sang.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Late comer to Linda Thompson, better late than.......
	11:51am Joe McG: @JD: True enough! @Hawkeye: Nicely put!
	11:51am coelacanth∅: if you play september song i'll break down
	11:53am McGroovey: Good show, Joe!
	11:53am David (in London): Great show today Joe. Thankee.
	11:53am egould310: Listening to Joe McGasko spin an Autumn set on an Autumn Dawn. Sublime. https://twitter.com/egould310/status/1308071194738868224?s=21
	11:53am βrian: Urge For Going?
	11:53am coelacanth∅: but instead i feel a JR binge coming on...
	11:54am McGroovey: Not commenting because I had my mouth full of breakfast, and I've been reading the Carl Hiaasen book. Read it, y'all.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for the advertising, egould310! And thanks to everyone for listening and commenting today. "Urge for Going" is a lovely idea, but that's a different Tom. :) Have a great week, everyone! See you next time.
	11:54am βrian: FYI: Irene is coming up on the Drummer Stream wfmu.org...
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be careful out there.
	11:55am kpx: now I'm very curious to hear this September song!. to echo everyone, good show Joe.
	11:55am spodiodi: thanks, Joe! take care
	11:56am KWilde: Thanks Joe - Great show as usual
	11:57am spodiodi: i was worried he croaked when i first arrived. phew.
	11:57am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff Joe! Thanks Skeltons!
	11:57am McGroovey: Wait. Irene is on? I'm so out of the loop. But I was about to enjoy Belock. It's like in the seventies when they put something up against Ironsides (can't remember what) and killed off Ironsides
	11:57am Stanley: Lurked and listened. Thanks Joe.
	11:58am Earth Walker: Thanks Joe Always a Great Show !
	11:58am kpx: @McGroovey: I think you meant to say; I'm not commenting because my hands are full of breakfast.
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Great show Joe!
	12:00pm McGroovey: No, my hands were mostly full of book.
	3:46pm Jeff Moore: Catching up with this show from the archive... Hearing that swingin' treatment of the Perry Mason theme reminds me: did you watch the new noir Tiny Toons Perry Mason on HBO? It was pretty good, definitely good enough to recommend. Germane to this playlist, though – I really enjoyed it when licks from the original Perry Mason theme began peeking through into the music (I believe starting after our pal Perry began to get into lawyering). And there was a gritty swing to the tune.
	3:57pm Jeff Moore: More on Terence Blanchard's music for the HBO Perry Mason... This post has excerpts from the whole set of soundtrack music. The End Credits music undergoes transitions as the series progresses; in "End Credits - Perry Mason - Chapter 8" you hear the original show's theme now coming through unequivocally. www.menshealth.com...
