	9:18am Joey Vento: Baroque-a-Nova first record i ever bought!!! Thanks Joe!!

	9:48am PaulRobeson1920: Dream radio!
	9:49am βrian: And by the way, Joe, table 7 is still waiting for that Martini.
	9:50am Susan: Hello Joe & fellow listeners! Joe you are a joy on Monday Mornings🥰
	9:51am Son Of Pantz: I haven't waited tables in years but I still have the nightmares where I can't remember table numbers and I'm immediately in the weeds.
	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Son of Pantz: ...and you can only communicate with the diners by singing "Ba Ba Ba Ba...B'Ba Ba Ba Ba"
	9:53am Son Of Pantz: @Woods that will be added to the next nightmare, I suppose.
	9:54am The Oscar: Damon was a regular at the record store I worked at in Cambridge, and can confirm-- super good dude, and a lot of fun to talk to.
	9:56am ?: My DJ nightmare: the DJ is reading the played tracks in forward order , and I'm trying to follow the list backward.
	9:56am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Damon Krukowski's "The New Analog" is a great read.
	9:59am TonyR: Tagline for "Nightmare on Montgomery Street": "This playlist is NOT being updatd." voiceover; laughter; and vinyl run-out sound effect.
	10:02am Spinning Giant: Thanks for the tip @WoodsofMaine - that does look fantastic - I am going to call in an order to the local bookshop today! :D
	👻 10:03am waters7: I tried to comment about 15 minutes ago about how calming your voice, presence, and music is but I kept getting bumped off my WiFI. Yet . . .
	10:04am Spinning Giant: nice buttery groove you've got happening here, Joe...dig
	10:05am Joe McG: Thanks, waters7 and Spinning Giant and other nice people.
	👻 10:05am Will the Sound Guy: Good morning Joe McG and all! I'm working right now, but I had to login and say hi... Love the show, and this song is straight up 🔥🔥🔥 Thank You!
	10:06am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Will!
	👻 10:07am karlward: I feel like there should be chopped and screwed steel drum band remixes by now.
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Spinning Giant: He also had a podcast called "Ways of Hearing" that was turned into a book.
	10:11am johnk77: great show tommy johnston wrote listen to the music
	10:12am TonyR: @βrian: Any waiter will tell you that a good nightmare involves cappuccino orders, not martinis.
	10:13am Spinning Giant: @WoodsofMaine - you're blowing my mind! :D Very cool...
	10:14am Beast of Boonton: Devolution
	10:14am Asheville Jon: weirdest, totally 80's "artsy" cover. wow!
	10:14am herb.nyc: “Stand by Afghanistan” 🎶
	10:14am Dano59: this beats Lyle Lovett's version all to hell, imo
	👻 10:15am karlward: I feel like two different computers wrote this by mail
	👻 10:15am karlward: Like a Commodore 64 and a TRS
	10:15am iiibeat: Invigorating "stuff" . . Listen to The Music
	10:15am Dano59: @karlward LOL!
	10:16am Ryansterlingvirtue: I love this Catholic Block song.
	10:16am βrian: @TonyR: I used to pride myself on memorizing coffee/dessert orders for a 6-top.
	10:16am TDK60: It was 1980 Karlward. They were tryin' to be "quirky."
	10:16am Son Of Pantz: Cassette?
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hallo Hallo lovely 1st set.
	10:17am TonyR: Although, any cocktail tray laden with top-heavy drinks in stemware makes me sweat.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Pantz: Yes, that's probably why it sounds so crappy!
	10:18am Vincent Nifigance: I felt like we were in Joe’s DJ nightmare during that last one.
	10:18am Son Of Pantz: It does have that "it's been stuck in my car's cassette deck for 3 months" kinda sound, but why in 2021?
	10:19am TonyR: Vaccinated DJs are magnetizing all the cassette deck heads!!! RUN!
	10:20am Joe McG: @Pantz: You got me. This guy writes good songs. I guess they're home demo type of things.
	10:21am Dano59: tape deconstructions, effed up and photocopied flyers, off-the-wall New Wave interpretations, I miss those times ...
	10:21am Beast of Boonton: remember seeing cassette tapes unwound on the highway?
	👻 10:21am karlward: Beast of Boonton: they're still out there, somewhere
	10:22am Dano59: and I value the aesthetics. Precision fatigue and 'the perfect sound' are so not for me.
	10:22am JT: ha i missed snowball are old cassettes worth a lot of money now? i'll sell. just let me know what you need.
	10:22am TonyR: @βrian: That is legendary and enviable.
	10:23am Dano59: @JT: 8-tracks are the more in-demand fetish format. that said, it depends on the release.
	10:23am Dano59: Pussy Galore's Exile on Main St., say. Or Elvis Costello's Ten Bloody Mary's...
	10:23am Roger: Joe mcG. SegueKing!
	10:24am JT: just came across the whitey album yesterday in a drawer for instance
	10:24am JT: i have get yer ya-yas out on 8 track for some reason
	10:25am βrian: Just got back from the north woods of WI. Beautiful, though by appearances, still TrumpLand.
	10:30am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, hi all.
	10:33am iiibeat: Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky
	10:33am TDK60: They were doin' the Quirky in '79 too..
	10:34am Dano59: this reminds me of the Tritons! I have a stupid kind of love for this Chris Montez song.
	10:34am ?: The app is showing no comments or whats been played info. Im on the website to post.
	10:35am TerrD: Forgot my name
	10:36am Daybreak & The Good Day: Ultra groovy single! I’ll take a fliet of this: Thick and funky: Yum!
	10:36am Dano59: the older and new versions of the app look fine to me (iPod, iPhone)
	10:37am Daybreak & The Good Day: I’m on the App on an iPhone. Comments all visible. Playlist visible.
	10:38am TonyR: The unofficial Android app is pretty good for getting to the currently playing playlist quickly.
	10:38am Dr No: He was actually Frankie Teardrop, so you had a lucky escape.
	10:39am Joe McG: @Dr No: Ha ha
	10:40am TerrDE: I closed then reopen ed. Fine now. Usually it works fine
	10:41am Kpx: Helloey Joey McGaskoey. Hearing the melody of that Gordon Lightfoot song in this frankie song.
	10:42am Daybreak & The Good Day: Joe M, We’re gonna have to start calling you the: Man of Steel!
	10:43am Joe McG: @Kpx: A bit of Shangri-Las, too. @Daybreak: I feel more like the Man of Tin!
	10:44am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Sandy Eggo checking in ;)
	10:47am Joe McG: Hey, Alex, hope you're doing well!
	10:48am Listener Alexandra: Enjoying the silence ;)
	10:48am Stanley: Shakin' it on down. You're shakin' it Joe.
	10:48am TonyR: Now is not the time for silence! Now is the time for "Disco Lady"!!
	10:49am mb: hey Joe. Good mornin' alls
	👻 10:49am tim from washington: Hey Joe and everyone! Forget COVID, Johnnie Taylor has a baad case of Disco Fever!
	10:49am Mark Hurst: @Spinning Giant @WoodsOfNH back in June 2019 I interviewed Damon Krukowski about "Ways of Hearing" on Techtonic. Here's the start of the interview: wfmu.org...
	10:50am Dr No: It's a disco inferno, but that lady is fireproof.
	10:50am TonyR: Is "Disco Lady" the only top 40 tune with "Shove it in" as part of the chorus?
	10:50am chresti: Morning Joe and movers and shakers!
	10:51am John Cozz: Oh baby the prime!!!!
	10:53am Jeff in Brooklyn: @TonyR I believe the 'Hokey Pokey" was the first top 40 tune to have "Shove it in" in the lyric
	10:53am Kpx: Joe McG @10:43, if you could read my mind, that was it!.
	10:54am βrian: Sounds like David Sedaris.
	10:54am TDK60: Joe, a 1938 45 7"? I thought they didn't appear till around '48. \| Hi Chresti.
	10:54am mb: g'morn chresti!
	10:54am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Mark Hurst: Thanks! I'll check it out. I love the way that guy thinks.
	10:54am TonyR: A children's song! Those filthy beasts!
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Artie & LadyD ...the User & the Quitter...
	10:54am Joe McG: @Kpx: Fabulous, love to hear that! @TDK60: It's a 1971 jukebox EP featuring old Artie Shaw recordings.
	10:55am Brendan: That Billie?
	10:55am TDK60: Oh, got it, thanks radio Joe.
	10:55am chresti: Hi g’morn, TDK60 and mb!
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Billie fave Singer ever I reckon.
	10:56am Brendan: Yep- the app cut her name off on the main screen .
	10:57am Spinning Giant: ...rounding this one out in fine fashion this morning, Joe...immensely enjoyable way to spend the morning...cheers! :D
	10:59am Brendan: Guess they made a 7” later. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283851224941?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=283851224941&targetid=4580496732614415&device=m&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=418233788&mkgroupid=1230353745471221&rlsatarget=pla-4580496732614415&abcId=9300542&merchantid=51291&msclkid=e63612601e4a1afd6cd373715f340238
	👻 11:00am tim from washington: As Sheila B would say "So much drama!".
	11:01am Daybreak & The Good Day: Nice single set Joe McG! Free form indeed!
	11:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Tuning in from the Great Norrthwest. Hi, Joe, folx—CHRESTIKINS!
	11:04am TerrDE: maybe there's a different version, I remember it faster too
	11:05am eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for the Artie Shaw Billie Holiday
	11:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Dog Days of summer!
	11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would suspect the VaxAp relates to Contact Tracing.
	11:07am Brendan: Perseids I think. Peaks on the 11th if memory serves
	👻 11:07am karlward: Perseids meteor shower: nyti.ms...
	👻 11:07am tim from washington: Meteors are cool and all but I was hoping you were going to say Terre T is going to play Bad Company's "Shooting Star."
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...perhaps also infection rates in a given area? Well if I listen I'll know...
	11:08am βrian: @Mx: You can't be Sirius!
	11:08am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): βrian: prove it! :-)
	👻 11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Just had a new moon last night, so the skies will be dark with no moonlight this week, which is helpful for meteor watching.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Ken From Hyde Park: excellent point. Just hope it's not overcast over here.
	11:09am PaulRobeson1920: Meteor showers this week??!
	11:11am Daybreak & The Good Day: I’ve been monitoring the night sky cloud predictions from yesterday on here in Boonton, NJ in order to see the Perseid Meteor Shower. Tonight was supposed to be the clearest, but is clouding up, BUT… the better news is that the less cloudy nights are headed toward the Tuesday night Wednesday night peak. 🤞
	11:11am Brendan: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/fine-show-expected-from-the-perseid-meteor-shower/
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Imagine being able to look down to see meteors! apod.nasa.gov...
	11:11am Reno D: The moment! I’ve been waiting over 30 years to hear Audience on ‘FMU. Congrats, Joe.
	11:13am Joe McG: Oh, Reno, I'm glad! I'm still looking for those first 2 Audience records that didn't get released here.
	11:13am Reno D: Countless hours were spent enrapt by the music and art directing of The House on the Hill as well as Lunch. I cherish my vinyl to this day.
	👻 11:14am tim from washington: This is cool. It's like Argent with a little Elton John and T Rex.
	11:14am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: wow, Ken, great image!
	11:14am Spinning Giant: @Reno & @Joe - this is also new to me and it sounds fantastic!
	11:15am Will: Reno D: Ditto on Audience. Although a look at the archives will show a fair number of plays over the years. Hey Joe, if you need a copy of the first LP ("Audience") I have a spare CD and will let you have it~!
	11:15am Brendan: @Ken from HP, I’d be nervous to be in the space station during the shower. While most of the meteors are dust particles no bigger than a grain of sand, floating in a tin can in space being pelted by objects of any size would make me nervous
	11:15am Reno D: Joe, I have at least one of them as mp3.
	11:18am Brendan: Re “Any Old Time” Here’s some informative liner notes about 7 inch records made after the fact: https://pasteboard.co/Kf6r4L3.jpg
	👻 11:18am tim from washington: OK I just connected some dots while looking up Audience. The man man in Audience is Howard Werth. Dangerhouse put out a 45 in the late 70s called "Obsolete" by a Howard Werth. They are one in the same. I LOVE "Obsolete".
	11:18am V Priceless: WOW! THIS Roy Wood track! hey Joe!
	11:19am Krys O.: Nice one! Don't usually hear Miss Clarke.
	11:20am Michele with One "L": Like this!
	👻 11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: For sure, Brendan. Be ready to jump into the escape capsule at a moment's notice!
	11:21am Little Danny: chiming to say I also dig this Roy Wood
	11:22am βrian: Ooh, we've gone diacritical.
	11:23am Joe McG: @Brian: ha ha
	👻 11:24am tim from washington: Pipe organ is one of my favorite sounds. So massive and burley.
	11:24am Brendan: Mass will start in five minutes please turn off your cell phones
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha. It's been a long time since I've been in church. Is that something they ask now?
	11:26am Son Of Pantz: "Please stand."
	👻 11:26am chresti: Me too tim, love the pipes!
	11:27am Jeffrey from west Florida: Shriekback lyric taken from the Zen idea that if one meets the reincarnated Buddha on the the road one should kill him. Kill your idols ? Don’t look for answers from others ? Look within ? Lots of under appreciated later stuff including a solo piano record. Saw them do that song at the Webster/ritz in 87 (?) Introduced as “the worlds first Zen pop song” better ask Donovan Barry. Great show as always. You make Monday’s memorable ☯️🔫🎼
	👻 11:27am tim from washington: I live down the street from a Catholic church. I regularly hear the organist practicing. I'm always super tempted to just go in and sit and listen. Nice segue, Joe!
	👻 11:28am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS!
	11:28am Joe McG: @Jeffrey: Very helpful explanation, thank you so much. I hear it in a brand-new way.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice track-stackin' Mr. DJ.
	11:30am Andrew_in_WI: This album got a lot of play from me this weekend!
	11:30am Brendan: @Joe It’s been a while here as well, save for a couple of funeral masses recently where they said that in the calm before the ceremony.
	11:32am Joe McG: It makes sense. If they do it in the movie theaters, they sure as heck ought to do it before mass.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: We were in Vienna a few years ago and went into a church for an afternoon organ receital. It was delightful ending with Bach's Toccata & Fugue. Not sure what to do at the end but everyone applauded spontaneously.
	11:36am Son Of Pantz: I sometimes retreat at Gethsemani Abbey here in KY, where the monks don't speak, and went to a mass where some fool's phone started ringing. You wanna talk about uncomfortable.
	11:36am otto: bravo!
	11:36am βrian: But what if it's the Lord calling?
	11:37am Son Of Pantz: He's the only one that could save you from the the cold stares that guy got.
	👻 11:38am chresti: Heh
	11:38am βrian: I did a silent retreat once when I was in High School. I was quite surprised that I liked it.
	👻 11:38am waters7: Killer Song
	11:39am Son Of Pantz: It really can reset your bearings. Gethsemani is on some very beautiful land to explore too. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Thomas Merton.
	11:39am Joe McG: A bit of background on this gloomy sea shanty: mainlynorfolk.info...
	11:40am Jeffrey from west Florida: @washington Tim : Yield NOT ! Sit in & listen ! What’s to lose ?
	11:40am Little Danny: Beautiful instrumentation on "Shallow Brown."
	11:40am Johnny Staten Island: Thank you for JFF
	11:40am morphe': I met a well fed Tibetan monk travelling in a massive brand new landrover while hiking in the Sikkim, Far Northern India. They stopped to ask to take a picture with me = he and his driver... It started pouring rain and they made a dash for the car. I asked if they could give me a ride to town - roughly 20 miles. He said "NO ROOM" and they split. I finally got a lift from a guy delivering blood samples to the hospital. I had to hide in the back seat since he said he said giving rides were forbidden. When we got to town I offered him $5.00 and he refused to take it !!!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: David Dichelle will get round to it eventually on Continental Subway. He is working his way through the Rouds.
	11:42am Yes: Lovely last two. Thanks joe
	11:43am TonyR: JMcG brings that pretty music.
	11:44am Joe McG: Just gettin' you folks revved up for Joe Belock!
	👻 11:45am tim from washington: @Jeffrey from west Florida - that's the goddamn truth!
	11:46am βrian: Or Irene, of course: wfmu.org...
	👻 11:46am chresti: morphe, how unmonkley of them!
	👻 11:47am tim from washington: @Joe - tone it down, Jack! How is Joe Belock going to keep pace?
	👻 11:47am karlward: McGasko brings da Funke
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is all purty.
	👻 11:47am tim from washington: That's a great story, morphe!
	11:48am morphe': Yes, lulling us into JB !!! Thanks JoeMcG and All !!!!!
	11:48am Dano59: this is beautiful ... and brand new!!
	11:49am Little Danny: Thanks Joe, loved the autumnal set!
	👻 11:50am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:50am Brendan: Here in Rockville, the pastor in residence at my church also serves the the hospital and the assisted living community, and he’s pretty much on call 24/7 for last rites and anything else. His cell phone has gone off during mass when he was the celebrant a couple of times. He’s got a great dry Irish wit and simply reached under his robe pulled out the cell phone and silenced it and cracked a joke in his brogue. I guess that’s the times we live in
	11:51am Jeffrey from west Florida: @Morphe’ great story ! “On the Road to Utopia !”
	11:51am Dano59: side note: while I continue to enjoy the station's gifts; a friend got his FMU swag last week; fingers crossed mine will arrive soon
	11:52am Dano59: @morphe - no room in the Land Rover? whooo ... there's a picaresque song of human nature in that story.
	11:53am tadpoles: Sorry I missed Audience Joe…but thanks for playing them…they need more airplay….cheers
	11:53am Joe McG: Hey, all, thanks for listening and commenting today. Hope you have a nice day and a great week. Stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock coming your way next!
	11:53am melinda: great show, Joe
	11:54am Carmichael: Heya Joe and folks. Just back from a week long jaunt through Oregon. Glad to be home.
	👻 11:54am tim from washington: Thanks, Joe! Astral traveling to yacht rock smooth sailing in the same set. Can't beat that!
	👻 11:54am nortonjutland: Thanks Joe....you did it again!!
	11:55am Son Of Pantz: Take a smoke break, Joe. You deserve it!
	11:55am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am abbazabba: @Son of Pantz - I'm in Lexington. Whereabouts are you in Kentucky? Also, I have never been to the place you're talking about.
	👻 11:56am waters7: Us, too
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: Thanks, Joe.
	11:57am Son Of Pantz: @abbazabba Louisville. Gethsemani is just outside of Bardstown. I went to college in Lex many moons ago.
	11:57am Brendan: Thanks Joe. Kick ass show. Especially eclectic today.

	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Son of Pantz: ...and you can only communicate with the diners by singing "Ba Ba Ba Ba...B'Ba Ba Ba Ba"
	9:53am Son Of Pantz: @Woods that will be added to the next nightmare, I suppose.
	9:54am The Oscar: Damon was a regular at the record store I worked at in Cambridge, and can confirm-- super good dude, and a lot of fun to talk to.
	9:56am ?: My DJ nightmare: the DJ is reading the played tracks in forward order , and I'm trying to follow the list backward.
	9:56am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Damon Krukowski's "The New Analog" is a great read.
	9:59am TonyR: Tagline for "Nightmare on Montgomery Street": "This playlist is NOT being updatd." voiceover; laughter; and vinyl run-out sound effect.
	10:02am Spinning Giant: Thanks for the tip @WoodsofMaine - that does look fantastic - I am going to call in an order to the local bookshop today! :D
	👻 10:03am waters7: I tried to comment about 15 minutes ago about how calming your voice, presence, and music is but I kept getting bumped off my WiFI. Yet . . .

	10:05am Joe McG: Thanks, waters7 and Spinning Giant and other nice people.

	10:06am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Will!
	👻 10:07am karlward: I feel like there should be chopped and screwed steel drum band remixes by now.
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Spinning Giant: He also had a podcast called "Ways of Hearing" that was turned into a book.
	10:11am johnk77: great show tommy johnston wrote listen to the music
	10:12am TonyR: @βrian: Any waiter will tell you that a good nightmare involves cappuccino orders, not martinis.

	10:14am herb.nyc: “Stand by Afghanistan” 🎶
	10:14am Dano59: this beats Lyle Lovett's version all to hell, imo
	👻 10:15am karlward: I feel like two different computers wrote this by mail
	👻 10:15am karlward: Like a Commodore 64 and a TRS
	10:15am iiibeat: Invigorating "stuff" . . Listen to The Music
	10:15am Dano59: @karlward LOL!
	10:16am Ryansterlingvirtue: I love this Catholic Block song.
	10:16am βrian: @TonyR: I used to pride myself on memorizing coffee/dessert orders for a 6-top.
	10:16am TDK60: It was 1980 Karlward. They were tryin' to be "quirky."
	10:16am Son Of Pantz: Cassette?
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hallo Hallo lovely 1st set.
	10:17am TonyR: Although, any cocktail tray laden with top-heavy drinks in stemware makes me sweat.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Pantz: Yes, that's probably why it sounds so crappy!
	10:18am Vincent Nifigance: I felt like we were in Joe’s DJ nightmare during that last one.
	10:18am Son Of Pantz: It does have that "it's been stuck in my car's cassette deck for 3 months" kinda sound, but why in 2021?
	10:19am TonyR: Vaccinated DJs are magnetizing all the cassette deck heads!!! RUN!
	10:20am Joe McG: @Pantz: You got me. This guy writes good songs. I guess they're home demo type of things.
	10:21am Dano59: tape deconstructions, effed up and photocopied flyers, off-the-wall New Wave interpretations, I miss those times ...
	10:21am Beast of Boonton: remember seeing cassette tapes unwound on the highway?
	👻 10:21am karlward: Beast of Boonton: they're still out there, somewhere
	10:22am Dano59: and I value the aesthetics. Precision fatigue and 'the perfect sound' are so not for me.
	10:22am JT: ha i missed snowball are old cassettes worth a lot of money now? i'll sell. just let me know what you need.
	10:22am TonyR: @βrian: That is legendary and enviable.
	10:23am Dano59: @JT: 8-tracks are the more in-demand fetish format. that said, it depends on the release.
	10:23am Dano59: Pussy Galore's Exile on Main St., say. Or Elvis Costello's Ten Bloody Mary's...
	10:23am Roger: Joe mcG. SegueKing!
	10:24am JT: just came across the whitey album yesterday in a drawer for instance
	10:24am JT: i have get yer ya-yas out on 8 track for some reason

	10:50am Dr No: It's a disco inferno, but that lady is fireproof.
	10:50am TonyR: Is "Disco Lady" the only top 40 tune with "Shove it in" as part of the chorus?
	10:50am chresti: Morning Joe and movers and shakers!
	10:51am John Cozz: Oh baby the prime!!!!

	10:53am Kpx: Joe McG @10:43, if you could read my mind, that was it!.
	10:54am βrian: Sounds like David Sedaris.

	👻 11:00am tim from washington: As Sheila B would say "So much drama!".
	11:01am Daybreak & The Good Day: Nice single set Joe McG! Free form indeed!
	11:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Tuning in from the Great Norrthwest. Hi, Joe, folx—CHRESTIKINS!
	11:04am TerrDE: maybe there's a different version, I remember it faster too
	11:05am eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for the Artie Shaw Billie Holiday
	11:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Dog Days of summer!
	11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would suspect the VaxAp relates to Contact Tracing.
	11:07am Brendan: Perseids I think. Peaks on the 11th if memory serves
	👻 11:07am karlward: Perseids meteor shower: nyti.ms...
	👻 11:07am tim from washington: Meteors are cool and all but I was hoping you were going to say Terre T is going to play Bad Company's "Shooting Star."
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...perhaps also infection rates in a given area? Well if I listen I'll know...
	11:08am βrian: @Mx: You can't be Sirius!
	11:08am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): βrian: prove it! :-)
	👻 11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Just had a new moon last night, so the skies will be dark with no moonlight this week, which is helpful for meteor watching.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Ken From Hyde Park: excellent point. Just hope it's not overcast over here.
	11:09am PaulRobeson1920: Meteor showers this week??!
	11:11am Daybreak & The Good Day: I’ve been monitoring the night sky cloud predictions from yesterday on here in Boonton, NJ in order to see the Perseid Meteor Shower. Tonight was supposed to be the clearest, but is clouding up, BUT… the better news is that the less cloudy nights are headed toward the Tuesday night Wednesday night peak. 🤞
	11:11am Brendan: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/fine-show-expected-from-the-perseid-meteor-shower/
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Imagine being able to look down to see meteors! apod.nasa.gov...
	11:11am Reno D: The moment! I’ve been waiting over 30 years to hear Audience on ‘FMU. Congrats, Joe.
	11:13am Joe McG: Oh, Reno, I'm glad! I'm still looking for those first 2 Audience records that didn't get released here.
	11:13am Reno D: Countless hours were spent enrapt by the music and art directing of The House on the Hill as well as Lunch. I cherish my vinyl to this day.
	👻 11:14am tim from washington: This is cool. It's like Argent with a little Elton John and T Rex.
	11:14am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: wow, Ken, great image!
	11:14am Spinning Giant: @Reno & @Joe - this is also new to me and it sounds fantastic!
	11:15am Will: Reno D: Ditto on Audience. Although a look at the archives will show a fair number of plays over the years. Hey Joe, if you need a copy of the first LP ("Audience") I have a spare CD and will let you have it~!
	11:15am Brendan: @Ken from HP, I’d be nervous to be in the space station during the shower. While most of the meteors are dust particles no bigger than a grain of sand, floating in a tin can in space being pelted by objects of any size would make me nervous
	11:15am Reno D: Joe, I have at least one of them as mp3.
	11:18am Brendan: Re “Any Old Time” Here’s some informative liner notes about 7 inch records made after the fact: https://pasteboard.co/Kf6r4L3.jpg
	👻 11:18am tim from washington: OK I just connected some dots while looking up Audience. The man man in Audience is Howard Werth. Dangerhouse put out a 45 in the late 70s called "Obsolete" by a Howard Werth. They are one in the same. I LOVE "Obsolete".
	11:18am V Priceless: WOW! THIS Roy Wood track! hey Joe!
	11:19am Krys O.: Nice one! Don't usually hear Miss Clarke.
	11:20am Michele with One "L": Like this!
	👻 11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: For sure, Brendan. Be ready to jump into the escape capsule at a moment's notice!
	11:21am Little Danny: chiming to say I also dig this Roy Wood
	11:22am βrian: Ooh, we've gone diacritical.
	11:23am Joe McG: @Brian: ha ha
	👻 11:24am tim from washington: Pipe organ is one of my favorite sounds. So massive and burley.
	11:24am Brendan: Mass will start in five minutes please turn off your cell phones
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha. It's been a long time since I've been in church. Is that something they ask now?
	11:26am Son Of Pantz: "Please stand."
	👻 11:26am chresti: Me too tim, love the pipes!
	11:27am Jeffrey from west Florida: Shriekback lyric taken from the Zen idea that if one meets the reincarnated Buddha on the the road one should kill him. Kill your idols ? Don’t look for answers from others ? Look within ? Lots of under appreciated later stuff including a solo piano record. Saw them do that song at the Webster/ritz in 87 (?) Introduced as “the worlds first Zen pop song” better ask Donovan Barry. Great show as always. You make Monday’s memorable ☯️🔫🎼
	👻 11:27am tim from washington: I live down the street from a Catholic church. I regularly hear the organist practicing. I'm always super tempted to just go in and sit and listen. Nice segue, Joe!
	👻 11:28am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS!
	11:28am Joe McG: @Jeffrey: Very helpful explanation, thank you so much. I hear it in a brand-new way.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice track-stackin' Mr. DJ.
	11:30am Andrew_in_WI: This album got a lot of play from me this weekend!
	11:30am Brendan: @Joe It’s been a while here as well, save for a couple of funeral masses recently where they said that in the calm before the ceremony.
	11:32am Joe McG: It makes sense. If they do it in the movie theaters, they sure as heck ought to do it before mass.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: We were in Vienna a few years ago and went into a church for an afternoon organ receital. It was delightful ending with Bach's Toccata & Fugue. Not sure what to do at the end but everyone applauded spontaneously.
	11:36am Son Of Pantz: I sometimes retreat at Gethsemani Abbey here in KY, where the monks don't speak, and went to a mass where some fool's phone started ringing. You wanna talk about uncomfortable.
	11:36am otto: bravo!
	11:36am βrian: But what if it's the Lord calling?
	11:37am Son Of Pantz: He's the only one that could save you from the the cold stares that guy got.
	👻 11:38am chresti: Heh
	11:38am βrian: I did a silent retreat once when I was in High School. I was quite surprised that I liked it.
	👻 11:38am waters7: Killer Song
	11:39am Son Of Pantz: It really can reset your bearings. Gethsemani is on some very beautiful land to explore too. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Thomas Merton.
	11:39am Joe McG: A bit of background on this gloomy sea shanty: mainlynorfolk.info...
	11:40am Jeffrey from west Florida: @washington Tim : Yield NOT ! Sit in & listen ! What’s to lose ?
	11:40am Little Danny: Beautiful instrumentation on "Shallow Brown."
	11:40am Johnny Staten Island: Thank you for JFF
	11:40am morphe': I met a well fed Tibetan monk travelling in a massive brand new landrover while hiking in the Sikkim, Far Northern India. They stopped to ask to take a picture with me = he and his driver... It started pouring rain and they made a dash for the car. I asked if they could give me a ride to town - roughly 20 miles. He said "NO ROOM" and they split. I finally got a lift from a guy delivering blood samples to the hospital. I had to hide in the back seat since he said he said giving rides were forbidden. When we got to town I offered him $5.00 and he refused to take it !!!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: David Dichelle will get round to it eventually on Continental Subway. He is working his way through the Rouds.
	11:42am Yes: Lovely last two. Thanks joe

	11:49am Little Danny: Thanks Joe, loved the autumnal set!
	👻 11:50am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:50am Brendan: Here in Rockville, the pastor in residence at my church also serves the the hospital and the assisted living community, and he’s pretty much on call 24/7 for last rites and anything else. His cell phone has gone off during mass when he was the celebrant a couple of times. He’s got a great dry Irish wit and simply reached under his robe pulled out the cell phone and silenced it and cracked a joke in his brogue. I guess that’s the times we live in
	11:51am Jeffrey from west Florida: @Morphe’ great story ! “On the Road to Utopia !”
	11:51am Dano59: side note: while I continue to enjoy the station's gifts; a friend got his FMU swag last week; fingers crossed mine will arrive soon
	11:52am Dano59: @morphe - no room in the Land Rover? whooo ... there's a picaresque song of human nature in that story.
	11:53am tadpoles: Sorry I missed Audience Joe…but thanks for playing them…they need more airplay….cheers
