	9:05am TDK60: Good morning Monday Joe! I recall that Route 66 TV show. Nat King Cole's version is my fave. Rolling's was good too.

	9:06am Krys O.: Nat! Used to watch the Nat King Cole Show on WLIW TV in the early 90s. Amazing stuff.
	👻 9:06am Webhamster Henry: I hope Nat King Cole had a copy of the Green Book when riding on Rt. 66.
	👻 9:06am YETI BOB: right on luka, enjoy the kits
	9:06am TDK60: [Should have been Rollings'.]
	9:07am Synd-E: Going to pull out the very good Warren Zevon "If You Won't Leave Me I'll Find Somebody who Will" from the terrible late 1990s attempted reboot of the show?
	9:08am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Webhamster Henry! Nice, luka! We are contemplating a similar move after this trip to Maine. Somehow, with only the dog and two cats and us, the four-room railroad apartment seems dangerously underpopulated. Are the kittens siblings? We would love to have cats that get along with each other.

	👻 9:14am Webhamster Henry: @TDK60 this is one of my more recent birthdays, I usually claim to be born in 1823. I celebrate that one on Jan 23 though.
	9:14am Handy Haversack: Yeah, ours are 19 and 15 now, luka. We're hoping to get the same thing going. Congrats!
	9:15am G: "Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent."
	👻 9:15am LastWhiteRhino: If today is Monday, then that must have been Friday...Joe Friday.
	9:15am Krys O.: @Joe: These strings have me thinking of Gordon Jenkins's Manhattan Tower. Do you know it? en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 9:15am Webhamster Henry: "Get out the Dragnet for Jesus!"
	9:15am listener Rey: Good morning Joe and Surface Noisers. Is this the "just the facts" segment of the show?
	9:16am Mike W.: I get it I get it Someone mentioned how well JOE did on FRIDAY and plus the jack webb and all that
	9:16am John in Phoenixville: I like all the connections from one song to another today, Joe. Had a feeling Julie would follow Bobby, but a nice surprise that Jack Webb (her first husband) followed Julie.
	9:16am Joe McG: @John: Playing a game of connect the dots this morning for the first set! Good morning, all!
	9:18am Krys O.: It's ALL connected!
	👻 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Dot's a good idea, Joe!
	9:18am TDK60: I can't see the dots, Joe. TV? Pre-rock-and roll music? Artists who didn't go techno? I'm lost...
	9:19am luka: the first version of “harlem nocturne” i ever heard was by New York Ska Jazz Ensemble and i always think of it when i hear any rendition.
	9:19am Gerry from Miami: Just pulled my Badge 714 out of my childhood toy box.
	9:19am John in Phoenixville: Route 66, Nat recorded a different Route 66, but Baby all time was written by Bobby, who married Julie, who had been married to Jack, who starred in Dragnet, whose theme was by Ray Anthony …
	9:19am Joe McG: I'll talk about the connections after the set if you miss any...
	9:19am Krys O.: Jack Webb was in Young Man with the Horn, TDK60 and he was married to Julie London who was also married to Bobby Troup, and so on.
	9:20am joe mulligan: I could listen to spy jazz all day long. keep going Joe!
	9:21am John in Phoenixville: Thanks, Joe. Enjoying this so much.
	9:21am TDK60: Krys O. All these people knew someone along a chain of Being?! Got it!
	9:21am Gerry from Miami: Joe, you got the themes from "Checkmate" or "I Spy?"
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: I lost the connections somewhere back around Flagstaff, AZ. But I'm digging the tunes.
	9:22am Krys O.: Dag nabbit, I got confused with Pete Kelley's Blues with Jack Webb.
	9:22am MD: Good Morning Gang! What Ya Know Joe?
	9:22am TDK60: John in Phoenixville: I thought I knew a different Nat King Cole "66" version, as this one today played.
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: Krys O. - DJ McHugh gave me a copy of Manhattan Tower!
	9:22am Gerry from Miami: And don't forget "77 Sunset Strip!"
	9:24am Joe McG: @Gerry: I just got that soundtrack! You'll hear it on this show in the future.
	9:24am Ben: Dog sitting a dog who normally isn't into music. Ruby is diggin' the show!
	👻 9:24am Hughie Considine: This one played gloriously over the final credits of "Heathers."
	9:26am RevWaldo: Que Sirhan Sirhan..
	9:26am Joe McG: @Ben: Hiya, Ruby! Ruff ruff! :)
	9:28am StringOFperils: Quesa Ra. The big cheese.
	9:28am Ben: @Joe: Ruff Ruff
	9:29am John in Phoenixville: And … scene.
	9:29am TDK60: Don't think Sly ever went techno so I'm a bit right, even though that's not the right answer.
	9:30am Blake: That version of Que Sera Sera by Sly and the Family Stone was wonderful. Thanks.
	9:31am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I don't listen to the words either.
	9:31am KWilde: Hey Joe! Good morning surface people
	9:32am Fuzzy: Sly's Que Sera Sera most recently associated with me tending bar in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala in 2009.
	9:35am Baja Joe: Hiya Joe M. Glad to be listening.
	9:36am Johnny Staten Island: That last set is the reason DJ driven radio is the only way to listen thanks Joe McG
	9:38am Mike W.: Will ya still play me Will ya still say me When I’m ninety-nine
	9:40am Joe McG: Thanks, Johnny, that's nicely said! Fuzzy: Intriguing!
	9:40am Mike W.: Seconding Johnny S.I., this DJ could have just played some songs and we’d have been cool with that. But no. Make it low-key special. Thanku to those ‘uns who do.
	9:43am FletcherNYC: B.A.D.!!!
	9:44am Son Of Pantz: I learned everything I know about physics from B.A.D.
	9:44am Johnny Staten Island: BAD this week is off to another great start. Crank the volume to 11 and break off the knob
	9:45am TDK60: I dig the B.A.D. boys. Saw Mick Jones' later band Carbon/Silicon about 10 years back. Similar vibe.
	9:45am Baja Joe: BAD is good
	9:46am TDK60: (I saw The Clash once.)
	9:47am Joe McG: Sounds like Michael Caine in there. Anyone recognize the samples?
	9:48am squidbeak: from Performance
	9:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw The Clash one time...at the lovely Cape Cod Coliseum. They were very loud and very fun. Opening band was Pullsalama (sp?), who did not go over well.
	9:48am Pale Son: Ah, nice!
	9:48am joe mulligan: a dub version of E=MC2? sign me up
	9:48am adampsyche: this is so good
	9:50am Joe McG: @squidbeak: Thanks! James Fox then.
	9:51am TDK60: (I knew the soundperson at that Carbon/Silicon show, who told me during soundcheck he met Mick who was the nicest fellow, personable.)
	9:51am Baja Joe: The Good, The Bad, & The Not So Pleasant Looking
	9:51am squidbeak: Thats the fella Joe, mental film
	9:52am Son Of Pantz: Joe, did anyone do a Lee "Scratch" Perry tribute?
	9:52am morphe': Johnny of SI - "..breaking off the knob.." is a serious commitment ... The Fassbinder Film - A YEAR of 13 Moons - deals with the topic...
	9:53am Joe McG: @Pantz: I don't know, but I sure hope someone does. A legend!
	9:53am adampsyche: i'm expecting a full week 24/7 of lee perry tribute sets
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: @SoP - There was D:O yesterday - www.wfmu.org...
	9:54am morphe': And what about the Ed Asner Tribute... Actually never saw the Lou show ... MTM of course so https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/aug/29/ed-asner-dies-lou-grant-mary-tyler-moore
	9:54am Handy Haversack: Woods, I won the Pulsallama CD on Scott's show during the Marathon. We listened to it several times in the car over the past month. So good! Will be listening again on the way up to Maine this week, I figure.
	9:54am FletcherNYC: Mick is lovely! When I was like 19 in the 80's he came and did an aftershow at Club Rio, where I worked in Atlanta .. I actually got to sit in on drums with him and Don Letts.
	9:54am joe mulligan: perfect timing for the LSP homage
	9:54am adampsyche: i also recognize that i'm a selfish child but yea, the wfmu send off for toots was a collection of amazing shows
	👻 9:54am Marley P. Dogg: RIP the Upsetter
	9:55am Joe McG: @Fletcher: Nice! Don Letts seems lovely as well. I'd love to talk to him. @adam: If no one takes it on this week, I'll do one next week, promise.
	9:55am morphe': Perry's JO obit: https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/entertainment/-scratch-perry-producer-innovator-dead-at-85_229961?profile=1116
	9:56am Brian D: A bit late to this topic because my laptop is barely hanging on, but I just started James Ellroy's new novel Widespread Panic last night, and the narrator describes how he used to drink with Jack Webb and "shtupped" Webb's wife.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: I didn't dislike them but then drunk Masshole crowd booed them offstage. Bought their record off Bandcamp not too long ago. OK time for a Zoom meeting. Woo!
	9:58am adampsyche: :)
	9:58am adampsyche: this show is going in the bookmarks
	9:59am morphe': Pulsallama was a short-lived, yet legendary, 12 piece, then 7 piece all-girl bass and percussion band who ruled Manhattan nightlife for a brief period in 1981 and 1982. Their sound has been described as “13 girls fighting over a cowbell.” https://www.discogs.com/artist/336483-Pulsallama
	10:01am P-90: Yes, I’m walking down the street with a paint can. Right now. How did you know?
	10:01am Joe McG: @Brian: Oh dear!
	10:05am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, all!
	10:05am melinda: @morphe sad news! loved MTM show and Asner
	10:07am P-90: @Brian D: I used to hang out with Ellroy years ago during a period when he was regularly spending time in NY City. Interesting guy.
	👻 10:07am LastWhiteRhino: Xylitol is sweet, and so is this xylophone tune.
	10:09am βrian: I gotta say, this DJ has spunk!
	10:09am joe mulligan: @adampsyche yes Mondays on this summer schedule are my favorite but Joe's show today is an exceptional start to the week!
	10:10am Pale Son: This is helping me get over the fact that I missed most of Clay Pigeon's Minnie Riperton tribute last week.
	10:10am Beast of Boonton: "and I hate spunk"
	10:11am Hi from Holland: Aloha! First few notes I wanted to say Minnie! But this is nice too :)
	10:11am Joe McG: Thanks, joe, nice to see you in these parts! Hi, Holland! I wish I were over there right now biking by a canal.
	10:12am McGroovey: Bad Seeds is over of the best songs ever in all the Universe
	10:14am Hi from Holland: Riding home on my bike in an hour or so, cloudy weather but nice to ride.
	10:15am mb: Hola Joe. g'morning all

	10:16am Joe McG: @Hi: Cloudy yesterday and I really enjoyed my bike ride since the weather was so temperate, at least until it got more humid in the evening.
	10:18am Joe McG: @Marley: Sheila B. played the second half of this song on Friday, but I like the whole thing! :)

	10:20am Joe McG: @Karl: Let's really torch it with some Al Green!
	10:22am Son Of Pantz: Is that Howard Grimes on the skins? I love that drag beat.
	10:23am Joe McG: @pantz: No one can match it. And that organ sound, love it.
	👻 10:26am karlward: There is no excuse for how loud I am rocking this
	10:26am bradford: This has been a exemplary show this morning, Joe! Many thanks.
	10:27am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying it, bradford!
	👻 10:28am karlward: Wait what
	10:28am Hams: oh, boy.
	10:28am Andrew Hollywood: This is nut-rageous
	👻 10:28am karlward: Funkiest Pavorotti ever got was standing next to JB
	10:29am northguineahills: Never thought I'd hear this....
	10:29am pierogie: Leave it to Dave the Spazz....
	👻 10:29am karlward: Is this Ken's show?
	👻 10:30am karlward: Ken give the controls back to Joe
	10:30am Jason from Houston: What a mess! LOL
	10:30am The Butterman: Bizarreness
	10:30am Jason from Houston: Also, good morning.
	10:30am P-90: Dementia.
	10:31am Handy Haversack: Well, that really happened.
	10:31am morphe': Must go to the PO and get foodstuffs ... MiniMcListener Simon McMurphy is listening and holding down the compound... Yes an amazing MixMashupMelange?????
	10:31am seedfriend: All mixed up!
	10:33am Alicja Uleeshuh: I didn't know you could turn James Brown up past 11 but adding Pavarotti did it.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Alicja: Agree!
	10:38am miniteeny: Lol this song may not be office appropriate
	👻 10:39am queems: QUESTIONABLE FOR WORK ENVIRONMENTS
	10:39am Joe McG: @miniteeny and queems: Ha ha ha
	10:40am Handy Haversack: Save Ferris!
	👻 10:40am DjLorraine: :)
	👻 10:40am Marley P. Dogg: OH YEAH!!!
	10:40am Jason from Houston: OH YEAH
	10:40am miniteeny: Unless you have a sexy office?
	10:40am TVP: Duffman!
	10:41am Brian in Charlottesville: Joe McG, you’re just killing it as usual!
	10:41am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hello! Yello! Oh Yeah! Hey, Joe anf folxes!
	👻 10:41am pgalub: Bueller? McGasko? McGasko?
	10:42am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: I think the maxi is still around somewhere… but no Schallplattenspieler anymore…
	10:42am melinda: I kind of hated Ferris Bueller but I like this
	10:42am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I think I actually did get this 45 when it came out
	10:42am seedfriend: This edible is kicking in now- thanks dj!
	10:42am joe mulligan: ever since the 80s I've wondered what that minor chord synth part is in this song.. is it a sample??

	10:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Good Morning from scenic Squam Lake! Tuned in for breakfast on the porch👍🏻

	10:49am Andrew Hollywood: Johnny da fox!
	10:49am mink: Everyday is WFMU day! Happy to hear I am not unique in my love and appreciation of music while completely disregarding lyrics. For me the voice/vocals/words are just another instrument in the composition. Thanks for the tunes!
	10:51am TDK60: I often pay no attention to the cymbals.
	👻 10:53am YETI BOB: good lyrics are a plus but what draws me to a piece of music is the sound
	10:53am Joe McG: @mink: Most DJs here say this to me when we talk about music. I'm really into lyrics meself.
	10:53am YAD: WHIPLASH, OUCH!... well done Joe!
	👻 10:54am YETI BOB: When I started listening to songs that are not in English, my perspective changed considerably
	10:54am TDK60: Depends on the artist, maybe? If I listen to Odetta or Woody Guthrie I try to hear the words! Pink Floyd? I give the organist first thought. Etc.
	10:54am Joe McG: @YAD: Yes, this is the whiplash portion of the program no doubt!
	10:54am Gerry from Miami: The Lovely Linda singing Tim Buckley! Thanks, Joe! Your taste is impeccable.
	10:54am FletcherNYC: This is gorgeous, never heard her version!
	10:55am Joe McG: @YETI: Pet peeve of mine is when a label does a reissue and doesn't bother to hire someone to translate the lyrics. They were important enough for the singer to want to sing them, so I think it would be good if I could understand them.
	10:55am Brendan: I like this hobo song a lot better than that hideous Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe by the Swedish group Whale
	10:55am TDK60: Never heard this Linda R. version of the Buckley tune. Well done! The words are key in this..
	10:56am melinda: @Yeti me too. I'm terrible at hearing and remembering lyrics
	10:57am Krys O.: Huh, thought this was closer to 1983.
	10:57am Andrew Hollywood: Baby boy-yoy-yoy
	10:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: oh, no, I bought this 45 when it came out, too. ha ha! sorry! I was, like, 11 years old!
	10:57am mlsgrrl: I remember listening to this song on the little transistor radio I had zip tied to my bike handlebars. Takes me back to riding loops around my childhood neighborhood everytime.
	10:57am miniteeny: Andrew H said it first!
	10:57am JG: Great Linda , Great Rod
	10:57am TDK60: Then, there are those pesky post-rockers putting programmatic themes into their instrumentals. Tsk tsk.
	10:58am Krys O.: I think what confuses me is that this was on heavy rotation on MTV in 83 or so. They had a limited playlist.
	10:58am McGroovey: The best cover ever of I Can Hear the Grass Grow youtu.be...
	10:58am Joe McG: Another one I should save for Story Corner. Happy ending, we think, but we don't really know what happens after the kid is born....
	10:58am Pale Son: Danced to this at my first jr. high dance and had it in my head for weeks after.
	10:58am Gerry from Miami: This Buckley tune was featured on the first Blood, Sweat and Tears album. The excellent one led by Al Kooper before David Clayton Thomas became lead vocalist.
	10:59am mlsgrrl: 10 lbs, poor Patty
	11:00am Son Of Pantz: Rod had a lot of story songs,. "The Ballad of Georgie" being the best IMO.
	👻 11:00am pgalub: Not necessarily a happy ending Joe. After the kid is born comes "Infatuation" and "Legal Eagles"
	11:00am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Joe, I'm with you on the lyrics. And I do seek out translations for other languages. I'm a word enthusiast in general, and as a singer I put my heart and soul into bringing meaning to the lyrics. Which is why so much pop music is just plain absurd, but I have fun with that, too!
	11:00am Joe McG: @pete: Ha ha ha
	11:01am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): mlsgrrl: yes! I rode around with a little radio, too! love that
	11:01am TDK60: Gerry: and by T. Buckley himself, on the under-appreciated-in-my-opinion Goodbye and Hello album.
	11:02am TDK60: Baba Bee, you're a singer! I try too.
	11:03am Gerry from Miami: By the way, that's Steve Katz doing the vocal honors on "Morning Glory" in that first BS&T LP, "Child is Father to the Man."
	11:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: I've never caught on to playing instruments, but the voice is full of endless possibility!
	11:04am The Butterman: Joe wants Rod Stewart’s body AND he thinks he’s SEXY. I just happen to know this.
	11:04am TDK60: I only listen to Bob D. for harmonica solos and the Al Kooper circus organ.
	11:04am TVP: Oh, can't wait to hear this!
	11:04am efd: Yello are Swiss!
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Were Yello from Switzerland?
	11:04am mlsgrrl: @Joe this is an important public service you are providing here.
	11:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks!
	11:04am suzyhotrod: Dang! What is that cute mummy disco record over $50? This is why I'm debating breaking up with record collecting. My taste has moved to the $40+ level. Damn you McGasko and your good taste.
	👻 11:05am karlward: FASTER
	11:05am Erin in TO: Sped up Oh Yeah is my new jam hahaha
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Sounds more like Duffman from The Simpsons there!
	11:05am efd: I would have posted that sooner but my phone kept correcting “Yello” to “Hello.”
	11:05am D Rok: Oh yeah. Clearly that song should always be played at that speed.
	👻 11:06am Oxidized: the "oh hell yeah" mix
	11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hello was suisse I mean
	11:06am Mungerphut: This is why I listen to WFMU. Thumbs up emoji.
	11:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I liked playing my Rick James 45 at 33 1/3 and hearing the "Sayyyyy whaaaat" reaaly deep. we're all adults here!
	11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: and dieter meier nowadays makes wine
	11:06am DJ Guin: was that Jerry doing Karaoke?
	11:06am morphe': Lilliput were Swiss - original name was Lennex but got sued by Kleenex - hence Lilliput
	11:07am TDK60: Baba Bee, I play guitar/bass, later started singing at open mikes. No beer cans thrown at me yet.
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: Roger Federer is from Switzerland, I think!!!!!
	11:07am DJ Guin: 👍
	👻 11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Krokus ... another Swiss band.
	11:08am DJ Guin: 1 in the Thoughts 2 in the Prayers 🤟
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: Are we just naming Swiss bands? Ok, how about Brainticket?
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Two weeks left on the summer sched. I can't quite believe it.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: TDK60: I love bass, and I love harmonies in general. I always say I was truly a musician when a mother called in to a radio station to complain that my song had agitated her kids.
	11:09am The Butterman: Laura C! Nostalgic for Saturday mid-day back when Rex was a 3 hour excursion to nowhere! Those were the days!
	👻 11:10am chresti: Hi Joe and party, listening from the tennis booth in Griffith Park. MX BABA BEEKINS!!!
	11:11am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: CHRESTIKINS! the day begins!
	11:11am JT: norge representing
	👻 11:11am chresti: You go TDK60!
	11:12am Jeff Golick: Taking my stand here in...Jazzland.
	11:13am TDK60: Hola Chresti! Actually, I /do/ need to go Out for errands.
	11:13am Joe McG: @chresti: Love when you're in the tennis booth!
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: There is certainly a nip in the air over here, Summer is on the way out.
	11:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): my maple tree already has brown leaves, however, I think that's from the heat wave
	👻 11:16am chresti: @Joe, I usually am when I listen to your show! TDK60, I didn't mean for you to actually leave!!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Brian: I can't WAIT to feel it here! Worst summer ever.
	11:16am βrian: Looking forward to the nip here. I've got outdoors work to do.
	11:17am TDK60: Chresti, I know. Need help catching the lime green bouncy spheres?
	11:18am Listener Baby: Hello Joe and mighty listeners. Good morning and good day to all.
	11:19am The Butterman: This is making me tear up. Tomorrow is my last day of a terrible summer before going back to teaching on wed. For year 22. Also, if I were a fancy freeform dj, I would have followed September Song with Neil Diamond’s September Morn. But I’m a little “wacky”
	👻 11:20am chresti: I generally don't need to catch tennis spheres, I might toss one over the fence though.
	👻 11:20am YETI BOB: I used to see the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble back when they were street performers in Chicago. This is amazing.
	11:20am Listener Baby: Joe. I believe you have a very interesting Genesis concert in your future. Can we count on a full and in-depth accounting of that? I sure wish I could see that. No doubt their last. Have a great time, and do tell.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Butterman: FYI, I tried to make the questions a little easier tomorrow for my next "victim"! :)
	👻 11:21am chresti: I do have to go survey the courts to see who showed up, brb...
	11:22am Joe McG: @Baby: I do, Baby! Looking forward to it SO MUCH. I'm sure I will do a full report with music, if warranted.
	11:22am Hubig Pie: Somedays we gets nips Somedays we gets smoke and heat
	11:23am Listener Baby: Yay! It’s a 50/50 proposition, me thinks. That if warranted part.
	11:24am Listener Baby: One last. Have you ever seen them?
	11:25am The Butterman: Well, Joe you outdid yourself. I hope the next Tuesday music trivia fails miserably! At least I got the “gimme”. I’ve heard people mess that one up too. It is stressful calling in to live radio though. Brain don’t have enough time to work good and actually think about the question. Well done, sir.
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @Joe: do you know The Westerlies? They'd fit in nicely here, I think.
	11:26am Joe McG: @Jeff: I don't, but I'll look for them! You are my Jazz Source! Everybody, listen to Jeff's show, I mean it: wfmu.org...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Baby: Haven't! But will, I hope!
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Hey, Baby!
	11:28am chris_in_space: @Joe McG @Jeff Golick good to know! Never heard your show before, but I will now. Playlists look great!
	11:29am Listener Baby: Hi Handy! Joe, if they are 1/4 as good as they could be, you are in for a night to remember.
	👻 11:29am YETI BOB: I've never enjoyed Richard Youngs' music at all. But this "reimagining" is beautiful.
	11:31am morphe': Not a personal dis Joe McG (I am an ardent listener and fan) but missing paying for Rod Stewart and Cheap Trick sounds like a Covid Blessing in disguise to me ..????
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have no idea what Rod Stewart would sound like these days but Cheap Trick is always worth it. They were my last pre-Covid show.
	👻 11:32am chresti: It was a little smokey here earlier, the wind direction must of changed.
	11:32am Joe McG: @morphe: Ha! But what if they got together and did some Faces tunes? That would not to be missed! @YETI: I'm practically a Richard Youngs groupie, but I like this reimagining much.
	11:33am Joe B: Sir Rod always delivers. I saw cheap trick twice, and they were terrible each time
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: Joe McG: What's your favorite album by Richard Youngs? I've tried a few and they didn't click for me.
	11:35am Joe McG: @YETI: I'd say "Under Stellar Stream," but "Sapphie," the album this version is based on, is also great.
	11:35am morphe': J McG I accept the Faces reasoning !!!!! Ps .. I went to so many "last shows" of David Bromberg and/or Brewer and Shipley at the other end and drove 1,000 miles to see the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks, Co circa '7??? That I should just sit quietly in the corner and listen to the show ..
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Was anyone else at the Cheap Trick covers show at Hank's like five years back on one of the many occasions we were all saying goodbye to Hank's?
	11:36am Joe McG: @Joe B: I really want to see Rod. I've seen Cheap Trick twice (including my very first concert) and I loved them both times!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: (Hank's is still unoccupied. Thanks, landlords.)
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: I want to clicky-star this entire set. Beautiful flow.
	11:42am Joe McG: Thanks, Bob, glad you could hang today.
	11:43am chris_in_space: Off-topic, but does anyone have a link to the Fall schedule? I'm dying to know what it looks like.
	11:43am The Butterman: Morphe, it was ‘78 when you were in Red Rocks. ‘78.
	11:44am Joe McG: @chris: Won't be out for a couple of weeks yet.
	11:44am Joe McG: Or maybe a week, I forget!
	11:44am chris_in_space: @Joe McG thanks. I was hoping for a tiny leak.
	11:44am Sasha: My Russian mother really enjoyed this one
	11:46am Joe McG: @Sasha: Nice! Today I got to Ruby the pup and Sasha's mom! I like extending the reach of the show. :)
	11:46am morphe': must away before the finale ... Thanks Joe and all ... Butter sounds correct... I delivered some weight of weed to Bklyn folks working in Yellowstone (Mammoth Hot Springs ) and we drove down to red rocks ...
	11:46am Joe McG: @chris: I could use a tiny leak right now.
	11:48am chris_in_space: @Joe McG lolz. Soon @joe B will relieve ya!
	11:48am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe! Excellent show, but you always do a fine job.
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Sister Krys! Looking forward to your imminent return to the "airwaves." ;)
	11:50am Mike W.: You Brakha, you boughta
	11:50am Krys O.: Shucks, Joe. Thanks!
	👻 11:51am 12539: What is this, the Jim Price show?!
	👻 11:51am queems: yesssss thanks for the jethro tull
	11:51am morphe': Chris in space - ya must watch a film Robinson in Space - It is a SITUATIONIST reworking of Daniel DeFoe's Travels Thro.. Great Britian .. quite engaging and hilarious ... The he is a prelude but the title eludes me and I am on the run...
	11:51am Joe McG: I'll be talking soon, so let me check in early on my way out and say thanks for listening and commenting. See you in September! Have a good week.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Tull! Thanks for a wonderful show, Joe! Great stuff today. Later on, Surfactants. Stay Joed up!
	11:52am βrian: Irene is coming up, FYI: wfmu.org...
	11:52am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:53am melinda: More Tull! Thanks for the tunes!
	👻 11:53am queems: infinite tull!!!
	11:53am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks, Joe and WFMU folx!
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks Joe.
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank, you, Joe, McGasko!
	11:54am Hubig Pie: I was at that Red Rocks show. Jerry Garcia broke a guitar string and on went on a 10 minute monologue while fixing it
	11:54am βrian: Whenever I hear Jethro, I think of Elly May.
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. A Tull-centric marathon premium might be a good idea. Haha.
	11:56am Stephen O: Thanks for the beautiful morning, Joe!
	👻 11:58am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am Gerry from Miami: Brian, you're like the guy who, when he hears Rossini's "William Tell" Overture, can't help thinking of "The Lone Ranger."
	11:59am Mike W.: Glad to hear that fuller description of the Hypnotic Brass album, the Richard Young’s LP they redid is an important record for me, I’ve meditated over it during the passing of a dog. Beautiful and freeing.
	11:59am Deft: Joe, what's the song in the background when you talk?
	👻 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Deft - I know it's Kevin Ayers, but I forget the name of the track.
	12:03pm Deft: Well I knew it sounded familiar, now I have more of a reason to re-listen through Kevin Ayers discography lol

	9:06am Krys O.: Nat! Used to watch the Nat King Cole Show on WLIW TV in the early 90s. Amazing stuff.

	9:06am TDK60: [Should have been Rollings'.]
	9:07am Synd-E: Going to pull out the very good Warren Zevon "If You Won't Leave Me I'll Find Somebody who Will" from the terrible late 1990s attempted reboot of the show?
	9:08am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Webhamster Henry! Nice, luka! We are contemplating a similar move after this trip to Maine. Somehow, with only the dog and two cats and us, the four-room railroad apartment seems dangerously underpopulated. Are the kittens siblings? We would love to have cats that get along with each other.

	👻 9:15am LastWhiteRhino: If today is Monday, then that must have been Friday...Joe Friday.

	9:16am John in Phoenixville: I like all the connections from one song to another today, Joe. Had a feeling Julie would follow Bobby, but a nice surprise that Jack Webb (her first husband) followed Julie.
	9:16am Joe McG: @John: Playing a game of connect the dots this morning for the first set! Good morning, all!
	9:18am Krys O.: It's ALL connected!
	👻 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Dot's a good idea, Joe!

	9:19am Gerry from Miami: Just pulled my Badge 714 out of my childhood toy box.

	9:19am Joe McG: I'll talk about the connections after the set if you miss any...
	9:19am Krys O.: Jack Webb was in Young Man with the Horn, TDK60 and he was married to Julie London who was also married to Bobby Troup, and so on.
	9:20am joe mulligan: I could listen to spy jazz all day long. keep going Joe!
	9:21am John in Phoenixville: Thanks, Joe. Enjoying this so much.
	9:21am TDK60: Krys O. All these people knew someone along a chain of Being?! Got it!

	9:28am Ben: @Joe: Ruff Ruff
	9:29am John in Phoenixville: And … scene.
	9:29am TDK60: Don't think Sly ever went techno so I'm a bit right, even though that's not the right answer.
	9:30am Blake: That version of Que Sera Sera by Sly and the Family Stone was wonderful. Thanks.
	9:31am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I don't listen to the words either.
	9:31am KWilde: Hey Joe! Good morning surface people
	9:32am Fuzzy: Sly's Que Sera Sera most recently associated with me tending bar in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala in 2009.
	9:35am Baja Joe: Hiya Joe M. Glad to be listening.
	9:36am Johnny Staten Island: That last set is the reason DJ driven radio is the only way to listen thanks Joe McG
	9:38am Mike W.: Will ya still play me Will ya still say me When I’m ninety-nine
	9:40am Joe McG: Thanks, Johnny, that's nicely said! Fuzzy: Intriguing!
	9:40am Mike W.: Seconding Johnny S.I., this DJ could have just played some songs and we’d have been cool with that. But no. Make it low-key special. Thanku to those ‘uns who do.
	9:43am FletcherNYC: B.A.D.!!!
	9:44am Son Of Pantz: I learned everything I know about physics from B.A.D.
	9:44am Johnny Staten Island: BAD this week is off to another great start. Crank the volume to 11 and break off the knob
	9:45am TDK60: I dig the B.A.D. boys. Saw Mick Jones' later band Carbon/Silicon about 10 years back. Similar vibe.
	9:45am Baja Joe: BAD is good
	9:46am TDK60: (I saw The Clash once.)
	9:47am Joe McG: Sounds like Michael Caine in there. Anyone recognize the samples?
	9:48am squidbeak: from Performance
	9:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw The Clash one time...at the lovely Cape Cod Coliseum. They were very loud and very fun. Opening band was Pullsalama (sp?), who did not go over well.
	9:48am Pale Son: Ah, nice!
	9:48am joe mulligan: a dub version of E=MC2? sign me up
	9:48am adampsyche: this is so good
	9:50am Joe McG: @squidbeak: Thanks! James Fox then.
	9:51am TDK60: (I knew the soundperson at that Carbon/Silicon show, who told me during soundcheck he met Mick who was the nicest fellow, personable.)
	9:51am Baja Joe: The Good, The Bad, & The Not So Pleasant Looking
	9:51am squidbeak: Thats the fella Joe, mental film
	9:52am Son Of Pantz: Joe, did anyone do a Lee "Scratch" Perry tribute?
	9:52am morphe': Johnny of SI - "..breaking off the knob.." is a serious commitment ... The Fassbinder Film - A YEAR of 13 Moons - deals with the topic...
	9:53am Joe McG: @Pantz: I don't know, but I sure hope someone does. A legend!
	9:53am adampsyche: i'm expecting a full week 24/7 of lee perry tribute sets
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: @SoP - There was D:O yesterday - www.wfmu.org...

	9:54am Handy Haversack: Woods, I won the Pulsallama CD on Scott's show during the Marathon. We listened to it several times in the car over the past month. So good! Will be listening again on the way up to Maine this week, I figure.
	9:54am FletcherNYC: Mick is lovely! When I was like 19 in the 80's he came and did an aftershow at Club Rio, where I worked in Atlanta .. I actually got to sit in on drums with him and Don Letts.
	9:54am joe mulligan: perfect timing for the LSP homage
	9:54am adampsyche: i also recognize that i'm a selfish child but yea, the wfmu send off for toots was a collection of amazing shows

	9:56am Brian D: A bit late to this topic because my laptop is barely hanging on, but I just started James Ellroy's new novel Widespread Panic last night, and the narrator describes how he used to drink with Jack Webb and "shtupped" Webb's wife.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: I didn't dislike them but then drunk Masshole crowd booed them offstage. Bought their record off Bandcamp not too long ago. OK time for a Zoom meeting. Woo!

	10:09am joe mulligan: @adampsyche yes Mondays on this summer schedule are my favorite but Joe's show today is an exceptional start to the week!

	10:49am Andrew Hollywood: Johnny da fox!
	10:49am mink: Everyday is WFMU day! Happy to hear I am not unique in my love and appreciation of music while completely disregarding lyrics. For me the voice/vocals/words are just another instrument in the composition. Thanks for the tunes!
	10:51am TDK60: I often pay no attention to the cymbals.
	👻 10:53am YETI BOB: good lyrics are a plus but what draws me to a piece of music is the sound
	10:53am Joe McG: @mink: Most DJs here say this to me when we talk about music. I'm really into lyrics meself.
	10:53am YAD: WHIPLASH, OUCH!... well done Joe!
	👻 10:54am YETI BOB: When I started listening to songs that are not in English, my perspective changed considerably
	10:54am TDK60: Depends on the artist, maybe? If I listen to Odetta or Woody Guthrie I try to hear the words! Pink Floyd? I give the organist first thought. Etc.
	10:54am Joe McG: @YAD: Yes, this is the whiplash portion of the program no doubt!
	10:54am Gerry from Miami: The Lovely Linda singing Tim Buckley! Thanks, Joe! Your taste is impeccable.
	10:54am FletcherNYC: This is gorgeous, never heard her version!
	10:55am Joe McG: @YETI: Pet peeve of mine is when a label does a reissue and doesn't bother to hire someone to translate the lyrics. They were important enough for the singer to want to sing them, so I think it would be good if I could understand them.
	10:55am Brendan: I like this hobo song a lot better than that hideous Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe by the Swedish group Whale
	10:55am TDK60: Never heard this Linda R. version of the Buckley tune. Well done! The words are key in this..
	10:56am melinda: @Yeti me too. I'm terrible at hearing and remembering lyrics
	10:57am Krys O.: Huh, thought this was closer to 1983.
	10:57am Andrew Hollywood: Baby boy-yoy-yoy
	10:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: oh, no, I bought this 45 when it came out, too. ha ha! sorry! I was, like, 11 years old!
	10:57am mlsgrrl: I remember listening to this song on the little transistor radio I had zip tied to my bike handlebars. Takes me back to riding loops around my childhood neighborhood everytime.
	10:57am miniteeny: Andrew H said it first!
	10:57am JG: Great Linda , Great Rod
	10:57am TDK60: Then, there are those pesky post-rockers putting programmatic themes into their instrumentals. Tsk tsk.
	10:58am Krys O.: I think what confuses me is that this was on heavy rotation on MTV in 83 or so. They had a limited playlist.
	10:58am McGroovey: The best cover ever of I Can Hear the Grass Grow youtu.be...
	10:58am Joe McG: Another one I should save for Story Corner. Happy ending, we think, but we don't really know what happens after the kid is born....
	10:58am Pale Son: Danced to this at my first jr. high dance and had it in my head for weeks after.
	10:58am Gerry from Miami: This Buckley tune was featured on the first Blood, Sweat and Tears album. The excellent one led by Al Kooper before David Clayton Thomas became lead vocalist.
	10:59am mlsgrrl: 10 lbs, poor Patty
	11:00am Son Of Pantz: Rod had a lot of story songs,. "The Ballad of Georgie" being the best IMO.
	👻 11:00am pgalub: Not necessarily a happy ending Joe. After the kid is born comes "Infatuation" and "Legal Eagles"
	11:00am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Joe, I'm with you on the lyrics. And I do seek out translations for other languages. I'm a word enthusiast in general, and as a singer I put my heart and soul into bringing meaning to the lyrics. Which is why so much pop music is just plain absurd, but I have fun with that, too!
	11:00am Joe McG: @pete: Ha ha ha
	11:01am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): mlsgrrl: yes! I rode around with a little radio, too! love that
	11:01am TDK60: Gerry: and by T. Buckley himself, on the under-appreciated-in-my-opinion Goodbye and Hello album.
	11:02am TDK60: Baba Bee, you're a singer! I try too.
	11:03am Gerry from Miami: By the way, that's Steve Katz doing the vocal honors on "Morning Glory" in that first BS&T LP, "Child is Father to the Man."
	11:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: I've never caught on to playing instruments, but the voice is full of endless possibility!
	11:04am The Butterman: Joe wants Rod Stewart’s body AND he thinks he’s SEXY. I just happen to know this.
	11:04am TDK60: I only listen to Bob D. for harmonica solos and the Al Kooper circus organ.
	11:04am TVP: Oh, can't wait to hear this!
	11:04am efd: Yello are Swiss!
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Were Yello from Switzerland?
	11:04am mlsgrrl: @Joe this is an important public service you are providing here.
	11:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks!
	11:04am suzyhotrod: Dang! What is that cute mummy disco record over $50? This is why I'm debating breaking up with record collecting. My taste has moved to the $40+ level. Damn you McGasko and your good taste.
	👻 11:05am karlward: FASTER
	11:05am Erin in TO: Sped up Oh Yeah is my new jam hahaha
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Sounds more like Duffman from The Simpsons there!
	11:05am efd: I would have posted that sooner but my phone kept correcting “Yello” to “Hello.”
	11:05am D Rok: Oh yeah. Clearly that song should always be played at that speed.
	👻 11:06am Oxidized: the "oh hell yeah" mix
	11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hello was suisse I mean
	11:06am Mungerphut: This is why I listen to WFMU. Thumbs up emoji.
	11:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I liked playing my Rick James 45 at 33 1/3 and hearing the "Sayyyyy whaaaat" reaaly deep. we're all adults here!
	11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: and dieter meier nowadays makes wine
	11:06am DJ Guin: was that Jerry doing Karaoke?
	11:06am morphe': Lilliput were Swiss - original name was Lennex but got sued by Kleenex - hence Lilliput
	11:07am TDK60: Baba Bee, I play guitar/bass, later started singing at open mikes. No beer cans thrown at me yet.
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: Roger Federer is from Switzerland, I think!!!!!
	11:07am DJ Guin: 👍
	👻 11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Krokus ... another Swiss band.
	11:08am DJ Guin: 1 in the Thoughts 2 in the Prayers 🤟
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: Are we just naming Swiss bands? Ok, how about Brainticket?
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Two weeks left on the summer sched. I can't quite believe it.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: TDK60: I love bass, and I love harmonies in general. I always say I was truly a musician when a mother called in to a radio station to complain that my song had agitated her kids.
	11:09am The Butterman: Laura C! Nostalgic for Saturday mid-day back when Rex was a 3 hour excursion to nowhere! Those were the days!
	👻 11:10am chresti: Hi Joe and party, listening from the tennis booth in Griffith Park. MX BABA BEEKINS!!!

	11:13am Joe McG: @chresti: Love when you're in the tennis booth!
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: There is certainly a nip in the air over here, Summer is on the way out.
	11:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): my maple tree already has brown leaves, however, I think that's from the heat wave
	👻 11:16am chresti: @Joe, I usually am when I listen to your show! TDK60, I didn't mean for you to actually leave!!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Brian: I can't WAIT to feel it here! Worst summer ever.
	11:16am βrian: Looking forward to the nip here. I've got outdoors work to do.
	11:17am TDK60: Chresti, I know. Need help catching the lime green bouncy spheres?
	11:18am Listener Baby: Hello Joe and mighty listeners. Good morning and good day to all.
	11:19am The Butterman: This is making me tear up. Tomorrow is my last day of a terrible summer before going back to teaching on wed. For year 22. Also, if I were a fancy freeform dj, I would have followed September Song with Neil Diamond’s September Morn. But I’m a little “wacky”
	👻 11:20am chresti: I generally don't need to catch tennis spheres, I might toss one over the fence though.
	👻 11:20am YETI BOB: I used to see the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble back when they were street performers in Chicago. This is amazing.
	11:20am Listener Baby: Joe. I believe you have a very interesting Genesis concert in your future. Can we count on a full and in-depth accounting of that? I sure wish I could see that. No doubt their last. Have a great time, and do tell.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Butterman: FYI, I tried to make the questions a little easier tomorrow for my next "victim"! :)
	👻 11:21am chresti: I do have to go survey the courts to see who showed up, brb...
	11:22am Joe McG: @Baby: I do, Baby! Looking forward to it SO MUCH. I'm sure I will do a full report with music, if warranted.
	11:22am Hubig Pie: Somedays we gets nips Somedays we gets smoke and heat
	11:23am Listener Baby: Yay! It’s a 50/50 proposition, me thinks. That if warranted part.
	11:24am Listener Baby: One last. Have you ever seen them?
	11:25am The Butterman: Well, Joe you outdid yourself. I hope the next Tuesday music trivia fails miserably! At least I got the “gimme”. I’ve heard people mess that one up too. It is stressful calling in to live radio though. Brain don’t have enough time to work good and actually think about the question. Well done, sir.
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @Joe: do you know The Westerlies? They'd fit in nicely here, I think.
	11:26am Joe McG: @Jeff: I don't, but I'll look for them! You are my Jazz Source! Everybody, listen to Jeff's show, I mean it: wfmu.org...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Baby: Haven't! But will, I hope!

	👻 11:29am YETI BOB: I've never enjoyed Richard Youngs' music at all. But this "reimagining" is beautiful.
	11:31am morphe': Not a personal dis Joe McG (I am an ardent listener and fan) but missing paying for Rod Stewart and Cheap Trick sounds like a Covid Blessing in disguise to me ..????
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have no idea what Rod Stewart would sound like these days but Cheap Trick is always worth it. They were my last pre-Covid show.
	👻 11:32am chresti: It was a little smokey here earlier, the wind direction must of changed.
	11:32am Joe McG: @morphe: Ha! But what if they got together and did some Faces tunes? That would not to be missed! @YETI: I'm practically a Richard Youngs groupie, but I like this reimagining much.
	11:33am Joe B: Sir Rod always delivers. I saw cheap trick twice, and they were terrible each time
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: Joe McG: What's your favorite album by Richard Youngs? I've tried a few and they didn't click for me.
	11:35am Joe McG: @YETI: I'd say "Under Stellar Stream," but "Sapphie," the album this version is based on, is also great.
	11:35am morphe': J McG I accept the Faces reasoning !!!!! Ps .. I went to so many "last shows" of David Bromberg and/or Brewer and Shipley at the other end and drove 1,000 miles to see the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks, Co circa '7??? That I should just sit quietly in the corner and listen to the show ..
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Was anyone else at the Cheap Trick covers show at Hank's like five years back on one of the many occasions we were all saying goodbye to Hank's?
	11:36am Joe McG: @Joe B: I really want to see Rod. I've seen Cheap Trick twice (including my very first concert) and I loved them both times!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: (Hank's is still unoccupied. Thanks, landlords.)
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: I want to clicky-star this entire set. Beautiful flow.
	11:42am Joe McG: Thanks, Bob, glad you could hang today.
	11:43am chris_in_space: Off-topic, but does anyone have a link to the Fall schedule? I'm dying to know what it looks like.
	11:43am The Butterman: Morphe, it was ‘78 when you were in Red Rocks. ‘78.
	11:44am Joe McG: @chris: Won't be out for a couple of weeks yet.
	11:44am Joe McG: Or maybe a week, I forget!
	11:44am chris_in_space: @Joe McG thanks. I was hoping for a tiny leak.
	11:44am Sasha: My Russian mother really enjoyed this one
	11:46am Joe McG: @Sasha: Nice! Today I got to Ruby the pup and Sasha's mom! I like extending the reach of the show. :)

	11:54am βrian: Whenever I hear Jethro, I think of Elly May.

	👻 11:58am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am Gerry from Miami: Brian, you're like the guy who, when he hears Rossini's "William Tell" Overture, can't help thinking of "The Lone Ranger."
	11:59am Mike W.: Glad to hear that fuller description of the Hypnotic Brass album, the Richard Young’s LP they redid is an important record for me, I’ve meditated over it during the passing of a dog. Beautiful and freeing.
	11:59am Deft: Joe, what's the song in the background when you talk?
	👻 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Deft - I know it's Kevin Ayers, but I forget the name of the track.
