	👻 9:07am DjLorraine: Yips > yaps Gmorning fine folks
	👻 9:08am Marley P. Dogg: Morning friends
	9:08am BennyThePlug: tdk - I saw your question at the last moment. we're The Plug and we're at 502 W. 167th. Just off Amsterdam. Come by sometime for a cawfee and a chat!
	9:10am TDK60: Benny, I may stop by today. I'm way over on the west side but I can venture over thar to the far east.
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Oscillateurs Lundi. Close call in the French elections.
	👻 9:12am Hughie Considine: ...and the yips keep coming...
	9:12am Joe McG: Good morning, radio enthusiasts! Welcome to the program!
	👻 9:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and oscillating Yips! Boing boing!
	9:13am BennyThePlug: tdk - ha! that would be great!
	9:14am HyperDose: My cat is digging this
	9:14am Son Of Pantz: Hey, I'm a "radio enthusiast" now? Does that mean I have to drink with my pinky extended from now on?
	9:15am dday: Riley was mentioned often in the 2010 Eno doc I watched recently
	9:16am Katsura: Hi
	9:16am Joe McG: @SoP: Only if you're drinking British tea harvested in Ceylon.
	9:16am P-90: Is it Monday morning again? Already?
	👻 9:17am Brian in UK: Son Of Pantz ...and it is strictly bone china cup & saucer. And it is skone, not s'gone.
	9:18am Son Of Pantz: Should I also wear a smoking jacket and Fez?
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Now you are being silly!
	9:19am TDK60: Brian in UK: Close call across the Channel. Thankfully they didn't go Vichy. Shwew.
	9:20am P-90: (In Scotland it’s “skewn”).
	9:20am G: Putting the free in freeform...
	9:20am dday: Seems cats really like this type of music
	👻 9:20am yerfriendpaul: Good morning, Joe, everyone!
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: TDK60, two out of five that voted were for Le Pen. A worrying trend.
	9:22am dday: @Brian: from what was reported it was low voter turnout & many voted "against LePen" rather than for Macron. Either way , I'm glad it went the way it did.
	9:22am BennyThePlug: If it's possible to have a seizure based on sound, this might do it.
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: Brian, it's not as close as some people feared it would be. I was relieved to see 58%. In the USA that's a landslide!
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: The Left seem to have evaporated in France, I am sure that fred would correct me. Same here with Labour, they would rather fight themselves than the Conservative right.
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: Sorry if that sounded glib. The rise of neofascism is a very real and very disturbing trend and it's far from over.
	9:25am BAMstutz: The music is good
	9:27am ChukAmok: Good morning Joe and McGaskettes! Enjoyed that opening take on "In C".
	9:28am Glorious Estephonic: good morning 🧡 is anyone else spiritually high from laraaji and/or the staples jr. singers ? floating in blessed cloud magic ☁️
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, YFPaul! Are you in Manhattan at all this week? Yo, ChukAmok!
	9:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The sad reality is that here in the U.S. an even higher percentage will vote for somebody openly fascist.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: I blame the British, that brexit vote seemed to open flood gates for latent racism. The idea of taking back control is purile. Woods, did not want to mention that in friendly company.
	9:31am TDK60: Woods, maybe the French looked at us (our last 6 years or so) and saw what can happen, and may still, again...
	9:31am ChukAmok: Hiya Handy! How goes?
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Woods, sorry, who are you referring to? D.T. didn't even get 50% of the vote.
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Still standing, ChukAmok!
	9:33am P-90: The Left hasn’t evaporated in France, they’re just very disappointed in the pace of progress on things that matter to them. Their frustration that Macron hasn’t “done more” doesn’t mean they’re going to vote for a reactionary nutjob. Also remember, a lot of the criticism of Macron is about how “aristocratic” he iOS, how “elitist” his style is. Style’ important in France.
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always noting WWII followed the Depression. Conditions get rough, people get 'protectionist'. You suppose the Oligarchs are unaware of this? In the USA - lower voter turnout very reliably favors the Right. Drumpf lost our popular by several millions - but of course not the Electoral College. Which has happened to the Democratic Party a few times now. The U.S. Senate is now @ about 50/50 - but please remember that because every state gets two regardless of size - which is not Democracy either ...the Republican Senators represent something like 43 (?) Million fewer citizens... The Right can just wave the flag of one mad Ideology & get its followers to the Polls, but bing Liberal by definition means tolerating wider views - & its a different challenge to get us in single file - tho we are a very notable Majority !... Supposed 'Left' politicians like their Careers quite as much as Right ones do... They appeal to a 'Center' that does not exist to stand on (which they themselves help to hollow out in fact) - & the discontent instead go (far) Right. I think Terence McKenna was correct: we empower Politicians as Leaders, but they're the last to advance. & the Least among - in vision, morals...
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB. No, he got over 46%, which I find frightening.
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Electoral College and Senate are inherently anti-democratic and must be eliminated (along with the Supreme Court). But I think in this country it's pretty hard to get 58% of people to agree on anything. Woods, I agree, it's frightening as hell, just trying to keep the numbers straight.
	9:35am Glorious Estephonic: this is so beautiful, thank you Joe
	9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @JoeMcG: I was scrolling through some stuff on tumbler and found a photo of you when you had your tonsils out -->> ibb.co... Ha!
	9:37am Joe McG: @Glorious: Glad you're enjoying! @Woods: Ha ha, definitely the picture that will go on this playlist later on. Thx!
	9:38am P-90: Macron’s “approval” in the polls has been 40% (or less), below Biden’s polling here. But when it was time to actually choose, he got close to 59% of the vote. It’s the same here: only 40% will tell a pollster they “approve” of Biden’s performance, but when it’s time to choose between Biden and some republican-socialist piece of shit?
	9:38am Phillippe: Good morning
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: TDK60 thought this might interest you. Not sure if it could happen today. Ewan MacColl wrote the Manchester Rambler about this event. kindertrespass.org.uk...
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe! You still on the road?
	9:41am TDK60: Brian in UK. I'd heard of that; very interested in the subject! Another WFMU commenter from Dartmoor and I were talking about that. Hurston-moor-elf; he doesn't post often. Thanks! Will save.
	9:41am TerrDE: Lots of version s if this song. never heard this one
	9:42am Glorious Estephonic: 💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️
	9:42am dday: Haper's bizzaa bizzaa
	9:43am dday: Nice track "Sylvia"
	9:43am Gerry from Miami: JOE, there are many versions of Wichi-tai-to. But this one is really nice. Was Van Dyke Parks involved in this? I do recall he was part of Harper's Bizarre at some point.
	9:44am Joe McG: @Gerry: No, it's Perry Botkin's arrangement in this case.
	9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 45Nurse Photo cropped & stuff for use : wfmu.org...
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Thanks. I wuz too lazy.
	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: Joe, was it the same Perry Botkin (jr) that arranged Hoyt Axton's My Griffin Is Gone?
	9:46am listener james from westwood: Would've lamped this Barry as Morricone at first listen. Quite lovely either way!
	9:47am P-90: [photo filed under “WFMU Covid Ward”]
	9:48am Joe McG: @Brian: I believe so!
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: Delightful set, Joe.
	9:49am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Great set to plant a Heller's Japanese Holly. Thanks Joe.
	9:52am Bo: Beautiful music this morning, Joe
	👻 9:52am Marley P. Dogg: Yes!!!! Always dub o clock!!!!
	9:53am Joe McG: I didn't mean for this set to go on so long, but I'm kind of enjoying myself over here putting together the puzzle pieces, so thanks for indulging me.
	9:53am BennyThePlug: Loving the dub styleeee
	9:54am HyperDose: Thanks for the dub, mon <3
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great for the Morning.
	9:54am Mike W: Reggae Study Hall
	9:54am listener james from westwood: No apologies needed for excellent sets that flood their banks!
	👻 9:54am Webhamster Henry: I'm sure Joe will get back to the surface noise-y 7" story songs in a subsequent set.
	9:55am BennyThePlug: King Jammy Destroys the Virus with Dub is such a great album title too. This dub definitely kills Corona.
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Moody ☽Moon in drifty ♓︎Pisces...
	9:55am Joe McG: I recommend checking out the cover of the King Jammy CD!
	9:55am BennyThePlug: Joe - just downloaded the album. Thanks for putting me on!
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: is2-ssl.mzstatic.com...
	9:56am Joe McG: @Benny: It's a good one!
	9:56am P-90: Me, I tune in to hear Joe McG enjoying himself putting together the puzzle pieces. So I’m good this morning.
	9:57am Brian in garden: Loved the first two Shara Nelson albums.
	9:58am BennyThePlug: Joe - We listen to a lot of reggae here at the shop and this is right on. You know we are in class for Reggae Schoolroom every Sunday like it's church, my guy.
	10:00am dday: Sarge's Sunday AM show is great for my working on house things (among other things)
	10:01am Gerry from Miami: @Rev Rabbit. That is some album cover there!! King Jammy is A-OK! Great, long set, JOE! Loved the Teery Riley way back at the start.
	10:01am Handy Haversack: I thought Joe was indulging us with that set!
	10:02am HyperDose: He's gotta give the people what they need, Handy!
	10:07am P-90: Now I want to hear that Supremes version too
	10:10am Joe McG: @P-90: Let me know if you find it online anywhere. Last time I checked it wasn't around.
	10:10am P-90: Didn’t the Coneheads do a record? I hear they’re from France.
	10:11am Zinn The Mood: Cool, relaxing set, Joe. Fitting for the grey day here in Queens. Right on, P-90, about the French electorate. That’s most of it right there. Pretty much the same in the United States of Advertising.
	10:12am Brendan: Good morning Joe and all. Neither bright eyed nor bushy tailed. Sounding good.
	10:13am Greg g: Sounding very nice Joe
	10:14am Son Of Pantz: I must bust out my Dad Joke, in honor of France's vote. Two cats decide to have a swimming contest. One cat is called "One Two Three" the other cat is called "Un Deux Trois". Which cat won? "One Two Three" because "Un Deux Trois cat sank"
	10:15am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, all. @SoP: Ha ha!
	10:16am P-90: (le groan)
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HeeHee SoP ...just what we wanna see in the ...Chat.
	10:16am BennyThePlug: Really digging this set! Go Joe Go!
	10:17am dday: There's that Bowie "Man Who Sold The World" riff again :)
	10:18am P-90: Le Chat Room
	👻 10:18am Hughie Considine: yep, they seem to do a lot of interpolation of parts of other songs.... that "It's enough, it's enough" bit in "Wet Dream" seems a shoutout to Sleater-Kinney's song of the same name...
	10:18am Joe McG: @dday: I heard that, too!
	10:19am dday: Borrow from the best
	10:20am Colin in Durham England: COME ON THE WET LEGS
	10:20am P-90: @dday: spot on
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems them allusions are specific, then.
	10:22am P-90: Love that Rickenbacker bass tone
	10:25am Ryansterlingvirtue: love this song so much.
	10:25am dday: @Colin wsn't atht SLADE Come On Feel The Wet Legs? :)
	10:26am dday: Keyboard fart..wasn't that
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh good ! Thunderbirds on ShoutTV (via PlutoTV) to look @...
	10:29am Phillippe: @Handy @9:40 hey there! sorry, got sucked into a call. As far as the road, now at home, was only away mid-week last week. Kind of a wifey work-related thing, but saw some old friends as well. How are y'all?
	10:33am Brian C.: @Joe McG, Obverse? Are you into numismatics?
	10:34am donpappy: "Damn someone played this song a couple of hours ago." I live in Minneapolis, and I wish the local station would have this thought too.
	10:37am Joe McG: @donpappy: I can't even watch Crackle anymore because of that Trulicity commercial!
	10:37am dday: That Spiritualized track reminded me of Polyphonic Spree
	👻 10:37am tadpoles: The name of the place is "I like it like this!"
	10:39am egould: More Tull!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the Hush 45 about the house in my toddlerhood - silver Tetragrammaton label...
	10:39am queems: now we’re cooking
	👻 10:39am Hughie Considine: The Charlatans leveraged this riff, didn't they...
	10:39am daveffromtoronto: Joe south shoutout!
	10:39am Peter from Dover NJ: Great show today, Joe. Thank you.
	10:40am swivs: @Revolution Rabbit Same here. Nice one, Joe.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'One More Rainy Day' on the obverse...
	10:40am Gerry from Miami: Rod Evans on the lead vocal on early Purple.
	10:40am Joe McG: @swivs: This organ solo! @RR63: Hard to choose! Love that song, too.
	10:41am Brendan: Too much too fast. He went from not being able to dance to really shakin’ ‘em down faster than is safe for anyone. Hence the mashed potato, twist, etc. Happens all the time. We’ll start him on some Perry Como and he’ll be fine in a week.
	10:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha!
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - RodEvans as with - you'll pardon me - CAPTAIN BEYOND.
	10:42am JG: a little different this deep purple single from the album /classic rock station version. an all time great song though. Also a huge fan of the riff on "Burn"
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be embarrassed that '68 Guns' was meaningful to me then ...or no?
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: @JG, I noticed that too!
	10:43am JG: @Joe, yes! all time great organ solo
	10:44am Joe McG: Anybody know what "68 Guns" is referencing? Some kind of Welsh history?
	10:44am dday: Captain Beyond is actually on tour in 2022
	10:44am Joe McG: dday: Whoa!
	10:44am ?: second Alarm song i've heard on FMU in a week. wow! saw them live btw - you could smell the hairspray before they even reached the stage
	10:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): When I first heard this song I thought it was The Clash.
	10:45am Phillippe: Alarm -- nice!
	10:45am Barney Grubbs: thealarm.com...
	10:46am Gerry from Miami: REV RABBIT, had the good fortune to see Captain Beyond(can't even remember if it was the 80s or 90s) in LA. Small, refurbished movie theater setting
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was my BruceSpringsteen, I suppose...
	10:46am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe McG and everyone.
	10:46am P-90: Hey @rx
	10:47am dday: The Alarm: Mike Peters: maninthecamojacket.com Inspiring documentary. Never Give Up!
	10:47am BLCKDGRD: Lordy, I'm stupid for Ferry
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx BarneyG
	10:47am Joe McG: @Barney: Thanks, Barney! It's about a street gang.
	10:48am P-90: The “other Bowie”
	10:49am Listener Alexandra: This set is giving me so much life (much needed after four days in L.A.) Thanks, Joe!
	10:49am listener james from westwood: Brown track = absolutely perfect dance single.
	👻 10:50am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies from the tennis booth!
	10:50am Brendan: It’s raining men
	10:51am BennyThePlug: it's a good thing you guys can't see me dancing.
	10:51am Jason from Houston: Good morning, chresti! Good weather there?
	10:52am Brendan: Someone get this chick a cold shower
	10:52am Stanley: Man, that disco toon rocked. Despite the silly sounds at the end.
	10:53am Joe McG: Hey Alex, chresti!
	👻 10:53am chresti: The Barista on my way to work asked about my wfmu shirt, made a note of tuning in. Morning Jason, sunny 67 this morning, 90 degrees later.
	10:54am Morphe': miquel Brown So Many Men, So Little Time there is an 8'12" Extended version = even more men ...
	10:54am Jason from Houston: Good work, chresti! Humid and headed up to 85-ish here.
	10:54am KWilde: Go Joe!
	10:54am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! After hearing So Many Men and Too Many Fish, I am rethinking what 68 Guns was referring to.
	10:54am luka: DESMOND
	10:54am BennyThePlug: one of my fav reggae tracks! yes!!!
	10:55am luka: i've never heard this version!!
	10:55am Stanley: Earwig-o!
	10:55am Jason from Houston: Whoooooa.... Never heard this version!!!
	10:55am Polly.: never heard this version! thanks Joe!!
	10:55am Gerry from Miami: Whew! This Marvelettes classic was a staple of my freshman year in college('64-'65) in Philadelphia. WIBG, RADIO 99. Joe Niagara, Hy Lit! Oh, yeah!
	👻 10:55am Webhamster Henry: Kind of a disco-y Israelites here.
	10:56am Joe McG: Yeah, crazy hyper two-tone remake!
	10:56am BennyThePlug: luka - i've never heard this upbeat version either! Thanks Joe!! Sax solo isn't in the version I'm familiar with.
	10:56am Pale Son: Stiff records!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not an improvement but okay.
	10:57am Onion: That bass is amazing...
	10:57am dday: Desmond represented twice in one morning..Stellar!
	👻 10:57am chresti: Weird version?
	10:57am P-90: Desmond totally blew my mind when he first hit top forty AM radio when I was a wee lad
	10:57am olacle: Thankful to the Universe for you Joe ❤️
	10:57am Stevel: Until this morning Israelites was “Dead or Alive.” #lyricalmuddling
	10:57am ?: awesome "Israelites"!
	10:58am Joe McG: @olacle: And you!
	10:58am P-90: In the second grade the boys all called it “The Jizzrealites” but that’s another story
	10:59am Gerry from Miami: I had a friend who would never let up in calling David Gates and Bread the wimpiest band ever. Sure, it's light, but pleasant and relaxing.
	👻 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Had not heard that version of "Israelites" before.
	10:59am ?: fun to hear a diff. version of a song i've heard so many times
	10:59am Jason from Houston: Off to work... Gotta get that Bread.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not a GeorgeMartin Production - was David Gates himself.
	10:59am BLCKDGRD: Richard Thompson Band used to segue in and out of Israelites in the middle of kickass live Crawl Back to close shows back in day, yowza
	11:00am Joe McG: The original "Israelites" was a Top 10 song in 1969. Pretty early reggae in the U.S.A.
	11:00am dday: I had that Dekker 45 on UNI records in the US when I was 10 or 11 years old
	11:01am Pale Son: Joe's working hard for my star clicks in this set!
	11:01am Mister Dobalina: Hola, Joe! Solid show so far !!
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...did George Martin ever work w/ Bread, or only America ??...
	11:03am P-90: @Joe: it was pretty much the very first Reggae sound most folks in America heard. Also I believe it actuality charted twice a year or two apart if I recall correctly.
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aretha open mouth. Thing Happens.
	11:03am Mike Sin: Well all right JoeMcG!
	11:04am Gerry from Miami: Yes, JOE. KHJ and KRLA in Los Angeles were both playing the heck out of "Israelites" in mid-1969 right before Mr. Nixon drafted my butt and sent me off to Vietnam.
	👻 11:04am chresti: Joe@11, one of the first reggae hits in the US
	11:04am Son Of Pantz: Reservois Dogs might have brought it back to the charts in the 90's.
	👻 11:06am SeaCreature: Yeah that Aretha is on Duane anthology
	11:07am PMD: Tuned in just in time to hear 'yowza' yay!
	👻 11:07am chresti: Drugstore Cowboy played Israelites, too
	11:09am Brendan: I wish they used The Stand on the game show, Price is Right,…. Come On Down!
	11:11am Uleeshuh TN: the Hits Villegas USA documentary might be the best music doc ever
	11:11am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe, will take a look at that Tirzah CD next week!
	11:13am Sam: Stop feeding birds!
	11:13am Andres: Do not bring poultry based sandwiches for lunch.
	11:14am Polly.: as 'they' say about non-domesticated animals: a fed animal is a dead animal
	11:15am Joe McG: @mark: Excellent!
	11:15am TerrDE: the birds natural sources are declining. i agree about bread tho
	11:15am Sam: It's ok to feed feral cats though
	11:15am efd: People who don’t live in New Jersey could drive or take public transportation to the movie screening, lest anyone think they’re unwelcome.
	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The domestic cat is an invasive species in North America. But then so are white people.
	11:17am HyperDose: I'd rather cuddle a cat, RRN63
	11:17am dday: Bread: I lost my older brother Dave in a car wreck in 1995. A good friend sang Bread's "Everything I Own" at his funeral. Just thinking of the song brings me to tears. "Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you once again"
	11:19am Morphe': Found a 1960s book of kids' puns/riddles to Giver Rodger for Double Dip.. eg: When is ok to give Elephant milk to a baby => When it is a baby elephant ... (weeeeeWaaaaa..)
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday always liked that one. Without even knowing it was Bread... Subconscoius favorites.
	11:19am Uleeshuh TN: you can feed birds...overtonpark.org...
	11:20am Joe McG: @dday: Sorry for your loss! Ken Boothe does a beautiful reggae version of that song.
	11:21am Morphe': DDay - sorry about that. How old was yer brother at the time??
	11:22am Gerry from Miami: ATTENTION: Joe McGasko. Just put "Witchi Tai To supremes" into Google and, voila, lots of options. YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud etc. Happy listening!
	👻 11:22am chresti: Boney M next?
	11:22am Joe McG: @Gerry: You're the best, thanks!
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday yes - sorry for your loss. <3
	11:23am Joe McG: @chresti: Or Young Marble Giants. :)
	11:23am P-90: Thank you @Jerry
	11:23am P-90: *Gerry
	11:25am Brendan: Never ever feed a bird bread or a member of Bread.
	11:25am dday: RR63: I believe David Gates was the producer on all Bread discs with Jac Holzman as a collaborative ear from Elecktra Records. The amazing Bruce Botnick engineered
	11:25am rx scabin: Good bye, everyone.
	11:26am dday: Thanks All; @morphe': He was 39. 1995 was a very bad year in my world. Lost 13 friends & family members in 12 months
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday interesting ! A vacation from the doors one imagines ?...
	11:27am Son Of Pantz: Very Laurie Anderson-esqe
	11:28am dday: Most likely. Elektra had quite a roster of extraordinary artists
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes I got the 'Forever Changing' box. Barely a sampler!
	11:30am Joe McG: I did a whole Elektra show once and barely scratched the surface!
	11:31am PMD: So funny. This song - sounds like 'talk about Wordle'...
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Touch of GraceJones.
	11:33am Gerry from Miami: @dday. Bruce Botnick's engineering touch was all over the place----Bread, Love, the Doors, film composer Jerry Goldsmith, Eddie Money. He even assisted on the Stones' "Let It Bleed." Quite a career!
	👻 11:33am YETI BOB: Love love love this Ibibio Sound Machine. Check out the video for "Protection from Evil" if you haven't seen it (and aren't sensitive to strobe effects!)
	11:35am P-90: Bit of a Lorde-like vibe on this
	👻 11:36am chresti: Bye rx!
	11:36am PMD: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 I agree
	11:36am Joe B: bummed to have missed the alarm!
	11:36am zoe623: Liking this
	11:37am ChukAmok: I have heard artists who had experience working with Elektra use the name "Neglectya" in describing them.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: We have a cleaning lady who comes over every 2 weeks. Usually I turn off the radio b/c I just assume she's not interested in my weirdo sh*t. But today, she said "This is nice music, leave it on!". (She's from Ukraine, we've been giving her extra money to send to her family back there).
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's funny. Development & promotion maybe not their strongest muscle? & weren't they long ago swallowed into another Major...
	11:39am Hubig Pie: Al Massrieen = The Egyptians , in case anyone was wonderin'.
	11:39am Dayffid: This Good Taste song reminds me of one from flight of the concord haha. Can’t remember the name of it, but it was singing about getting rude with the food
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - Class Act.
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: Hubig: Not to be confused with Robyn Hitchcock's late 80's/early 90's backing band
	11:41am Gerry from Miami: I noticed in all the tizzy revolving around Joni Mitchell and her late-career adulation(well-deserved, of course!), that little if any mention has been made of the contributions made to her large catalog by the late Henry Lewy, her wonderful engineer and sometime-producer. She would be the first to acknowledge his invaluable contributions, if anyone bothered to ask!
	11:41am Joe McG: @Hubig Pie: I was, thanks!
	11:41am Joe McG: @Yeti Bob: I'm glad she likes the tunes!
	11:41am dday: @Chuck: if you weren't selling volume, all the labels of the time were guilty of neglecting their artists. Some were better than others, but all were guilty to some extent. Probably the best two for good promotion were Atlantic & A&M because they had people at the top who really cared about the music
	11:44am Andres: Joe’s Elektra show (I missed it): https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/69057 Last set all Elektra (I heard it): https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/107584
	11:44am Stanley: Hi Hubig - I can taste the ta'ameya, as I write this greeting
	11:45am Joe McG: Thanks for posting those, Andres! I really love Elektra, at least up to the sale to Kinney or whoever.
	11:46am Joe B: elektra was probably better than most.
	11:47am dday: @Gerry: i am lucky enough to call bass legend Harvey Brooks a friend (haven't seen him in years, now living in Israel). He worked with Botnick on The Doors Soft Parade record and corroborated this info from the pediaofwiki in conversations we had in a local studio & at a local watering hole : "In November 1968, the band entered the newly established studio Elektra Sound West on La Cienega Boulevard to continue work on The Soft Parade, a process that was not completed until early 1969. Without any album-ready material to work with, record producer Paul A. Rothchild took control of the recording sessions and insisted on numerous retakes of songs, much to the group's indignation. "It was like pulling teeth to get Jim into it", sound engineer Bruce Botnick recalled. "It was bizarre ... the hardest I ever worked as a producer." Rothchild, who by this time was addicted to cocaine and incredibly strict in his leadership, caused severe strife in the studio, especially with his advisor Jac Holzman, who argued that the drive for perfection was "grinding them [The Doors] into the ground".The album was by far the most expensive by the group, costing US$80,000 to create in contrast to the US$10,000 required for their debut.
	11:48am Morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!
	11:48am HyperDose: Thanks for keeping it real, Joe! 💨☕
	11:49am Hubig Pie: Stanley, ta'amia in any other language is the beloved falafel. I think the Egyptians used fava instead of garbanzo .
	11:50am Jason from Houston: Dirty!
	11:50am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & always held up as the doors' overproduced album.
	11:51am dday: RR63: true
	11:52am Joe McG: Hey Joe B.! Making way for the 3 Chord Monte very shortly, folks. Thanks for listening and commenting today! Hope you enjoyed the show. Have a great week!
	11:52am JG: @DDay interesting stuff. Soft Parade is such a great album w such weird and unique words and sounds. Nobody else but the Doors, but I guess w a lot of help from Rothschild
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - a little too much attention from a cokehead, by that account....
	11:53am dday: RR63: welllll... ;)
	11:53am Greg g: Thanks for the tines Joe, gotta go!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No problem Jimbo's writing or the band (ever, imho)...
	11:53am Greg g: “tunes” that is
	11:54am dday: RR63: I much preferred "Strange Days"
	11:54am Gerry from Miami: @dday. Thanks for that deep look into a corner of rock history! Not surprised that the Lizard King was reluctant to polish his performances with extra takes. Maybe Botnick should be given lots more credit than he has received as the "sound" of all the Doors' albums still blows me away to this day.
	👻 11:54am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...granted - handling JimMorrison not a job I'd wish on anyone...
	11:55am P-90: Thanks as always @DJ Joe McG
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am Stanley: Hubig - you are absolutely right. Lovely fried patties, brown on the outside and green inside. Tahini, lemon, chili, salad, even fried aubergine. Exceedingly good street food.
	11:55am Brendan: Thanks Joe.
	11:57am Mark Hurst: A+ show today, Joe! Thanks.
	11:57am Gerry from Miami: JOE, excellent show, as always. Now go listen to the Supremes' version of "Witchi Tai To!"
	11:57am Morphe': Taim in NYC is probably the best take awayFalafel in Lower Manhattan - 2 locations..
	11:57am brycepunk1: Great show today! Thank you :)
	11:57am P-90: Hurst! See you later?
	11:58am Mark Hurst: @P-90 yes indeed
	👻 11:58am DjLorraine: Many thanks Joe, plus a few more!
	11:58am Andres: Thanks, Joe!!
	11:58am TDK60: That was peppy. Thanks, Joe.
	11:59am dday: RR63: from another now late aquaintence, blues guitar virtuoso Lonnie Mack, who also frequented said studio I mentioned in the early 80's, there was this time when Jim came into the studio in LA where Morrison Hotel was in session, wasted, looking like he'd just had a fight, sprayed the studio lobby with a fire extinguisher, came into the studio, did the vocals for Roadhouse Blues in one take & left. He was a handful by all accounts
	11:59am Stanley: Morphe'- fava or garbanzos?
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~
	👻 12:04pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.

	👻 9:08am Marley P. Dogg: Morning friends
	9:08am BennyThePlug: tdk - I saw your question at the last moment. we're The Plug and we're at 502 W. 167th. Just off Amsterdam. Come by sometime for a cawfee and a chat!
	9:10am TDK60: Benny, I may stop by today. I'm way over on the west side but I can venture over thar to the far east.
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Oscillateurs Lundi. Close call in the French elections.
	👻 9:12am Hughie Considine: ...and the yips keep coming...
	9:12am Joe McG: Good morning, radio enthusiasts! Welcome to the program!
	👻 9:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and oscillating Yips! Boing boing!
	9:13am BennyThePlug: tdk - ha! that would be great!
	9:14am HyperDose: My cat is digging this
	9:14am Son Of Pantz: Hey, I'm a "radio enthusiast" now? Does that mean I have to drink with my pinky extended from now on?
	9:15am dday: Riley was mentioned often in the 2010 Eno doc I watched recently
	9:16am Katsura: Hi
	9:16am Joe McG: @SoP: Only if you're drinking British tea harvested in Ceylon.
	9:16am P-90: Is it Monday morning again? Already?
	👻 9:17am Brian in UK: Son Of Pantz ...and it is strictly bone china cup & saucer. And it is skone, not s'gone.
	9:18am Son Of Pantz: Should I also wear a smoking jacket and Fez?
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Now you are being silly!
	9:19am TDK60: Brian in UK: Close call across the Channel. Thankfully they didn't go Vichy. Shwew.
	9:20am P-90: (In Scotland it’s “skewn”).
	9:20am G: Putting the free in freeform...
	9:20am dday: Seems cats really like this type of music
	👻 9:20am yerfriendpaul: Good morning, Joe, everyone!
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: TDK60, two out of five that voted were for Le Pen. A worrying trend.
	9:22am dday: @Brian: from what was reported it was low voter turnout & many voted "against LePen" rather than for Macron. Either way , I'm glad it went the way it did.
	9:22am BennyThePlug: If it's possible to have a seizure based on sound, this might do it.
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: Brian, it's not as close as some people feared it would be. I was relieved to see 58%. In the USA that's a landslide!
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: The Left seem to have evaporated in France, I am sure that fred would correct me. Same here with Labour, they would rather fight themselves than the Conservative right.
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: Sorry if that sounded glib. The rise of neofascism is a very real and very disturbing trend and it's far from over.
	9:25am BAMstutz: The music is good
	9:27am ChukAmok: Good morning Joe and McGaskettes! Enjoyed that opening take on "In C".
	9:28am Glorious Estephonic: good morning 🧡 is anyone else spiritually high from laraaji and/or the staples jr. singers ? floating in blessed cloud magic ☁️
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, YFPaul! Are you in Manhattan at all this week? Yo, ChukAmok!
	9:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The sad reality is that here in the U.S. an even higher percentage will vote for somebody openly fascist.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: I blame the British, that brexit vote seemed to open flood gates for latent racism. The idea of taking back control is purile. Woods, did not want to mention that in friendly company.
	9:31am TDK60: Woods, maybe the French looked at us (our last 6 years or so) and saw what can happen, and may still, again...
	9:31am ChukAmok: Hiya Handy! How goes?
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Woods, sorry, who are you referring to? D.T. didn't even get 50% of the vote.
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Still standing, ChukAmok!
	9:33am P-90: The Left hasn’t evaporated in France, they’re just very disappointed in the pace of progress on things that matter to them. Their frustration that Macron hasn’t “done more” doesn’t mean they’re going to vote for a reactionary nutjob. Also remember, a lot of the criticism of Macron is about how “aristocratic” he iOS, how “elitist” his style is. Style’ important in France.
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always noting WWII followed the Depression. Conditions get rough, people get 'protectionist'. You suppose the Oligarchs are unaware of this? In the USA - lower voter turnout very reliably favors the Right. Drumpf lost our popular by several millions - but of course not the Electoral College. Which has happened to the Democratic Party a few times now. The U.S. Senate is now @ about 50/50 - but please remember that because every state gets two regardless of size - which is not Democracy either ...the Republican Senators represent something like 43 (?) Million fewer citizens... The Right can just wave the flag of one mad Ideology & get its followers to the Polls, but bing Liberal by definition means tolerating wider views - & its a different challenge to get us in single file - tho we are a very notable Majority !... Supposed 'Left' politicians like their Careers quite as much as Right ones do... They appeal to a 'Center' that does not exist to stand on (which they themselves help to hollow out in fact) - & the discontent instead go (far) Right. I think Terence McKenna was correct: we empower Politicians as Leaders, but they're the last to advance. & the Least among - in vision, morals...
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB. No, he got over 46%, which I find frightening.
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Electoral College and Senate are inherently anti-democratic and must be eliminated (along with the Supreme Court). But I think in this country it's pretty hard to get 58% of people to agree on anything. Woods, I agree, it's frightening as hell, just trying to keep the numbers straight.
	9:35am Glorious Estephonic: this is so beautiful, thank you Joe
	9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @JoeMcG: I was scrolling through some stuff on tumbler and found a photo of you when you had your tonsils out -->> ibb.co... Ha!
	9:37am Joe McG: @Glorious: Glad you're enjoying! @Woods: Ha ha, definitely the picture that will go on this playlist later on. Thx!
	9:38am P-90: Macron’s “approval” in the polls has been 40% (or less), below Biden’s polling here. But when it was time to actually choose, he got close to 59% of the vote. It’s the same here: only 40% will tell a pollster they “approve” of Biden’s performance, but when it’s time to choose between Biden and some republican-socialist piece of shit?
	9:38am Phillippe: Good morning
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: TDK60 thought this might interest you. Not sure if it could happen today. Ewan MacColl wrote the Manchester Rambler about this event. kindertrespass.org.uk...
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe! You still on the road?
	9:41am TDK60: Brian in UK. I'd heard of that; very interested in the subject! Another WFMU commenter from Dartmoor and I were talking about that. Hurston-moor-elf; he doesn't post often. Thanks! Will save.
	9:41am TerrDE: Lots of version s if this song. never heard this one
	9:42am Glorious Estephonic: 💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️💕☁️
	9:42am dday: Haper's bizzaa bizzaa
	9:43am dday: Nice track "Sylvia"
	9:43am Gerry from Miami: JOE, there are many versions of Wichi-tai-to. But this one is really nice. Was Van Dyke Parks involved in this? I do recall he was part of Harper's Bizarre at some point.
	9:44am Joe McG: @Gerry: No, it's Perry Botkin's arrangement in this case.
	9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 45Nurse Photo cropped & stuff for use : wfmu.org...
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Thanks. I wuz too lazy.
	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: Joe, was it the same Perry Botkin (jr) that arranged Hoyt Axton's My Griffin Is Gone?
	9:46am listener james from westwood: Would've lamped this Barry as Morricone at first listen. Quite lovely either way!
	9:47am P-90: [photo filed under “WFMU Covid Ward”]
	9:48am Joe McG: @Brian: I believe so!
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: Delightful set, Joe.
	9:49am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Great set to plant a Heller's Japanese Holly. Thanks Joe.
	9:52am Bo: Beautiful music this morning, Joe
	👻 9:52am Marley P. Dogg: Yes!!!! Always dub o clock!!!!
	9:53am Joe McG: I didn't mean for this set to go on so long, but I'm kind of enjoying myself over here putting together the puzzle pieces, so thanks for indulging me.
	9:53am BennyThePlug: Loving the dub styleeee
	9:54am HyperDose: Thanks for the dub, mon <3
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great for the Morning.
	9:54am Mike W: Reggae Study Hall
	9:54am listener james from westwood: No apologies needed for excellent sets that flood their banks!
	👻 9:54am Webhamster Henry: I'm sure Joe will get back to the surface noise-y 7" story songs in a subsequent set.
	9:55am BennyThePlug: King Jammy Destroys the Virus with Dub is such a great album title too. This dub definitely kills Corona.
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Moody ☽Moon in drifty ♓︎Pisces...
	9:55am Joe McG: I recommend checking out the cover of the King Jammy CD!
	9:55am BennyThePlug: Joe - just downloaded the album. Thanks for putting me on!
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: is2-ssl.mzstatic.com...
	9:56am Joe McG: @Benny: It's a good one!
	9:56am P-90: Me, I tune in to hear Joe McG enjoying himself putting together the puzzle pieces. So I’m good this morning.
	9:57am Brian in garden: Loved the first two Shara Nelson albums.
	9:58am BennyThePlug: Joe - We listen to a lot of reggae here at the shop and this is right on. You know we are in class for Reggae Schoolroom every Sunday like it's church, my guy.
	10:00am dday: Sarge's Sunday AM show is great for my working on house things (among other things)
	10:01am Gerry from Miami: @Rev Rabbit. That is some album cover there!! King Jammy is A-OK! Great, long set, JOE! Loved the Teery Riley way back at the start.
	10:01am Handy Haversack: I thought Joe was indulging us with that set!
	10:02am HyperDose: He's gotta give the people what they need, Handy!
	10:07am P-90: Now I want to hear that Supremes version too
	10:10am Joe McG: @P-90: Let me know if you find it online anywhere. Last time I checked it wasn't around.
	10:10am P-90: Didn’t the Coneheads do a record? I hear they’re from France.
	10:11am Zinn The Mood: Cool, relaxing set, Joe. Fitting for the grey day here in Queens. Right on, P-90, about the French electorate. That’s most of it right there. Pretty much the same in the United States of Advertising.
	10:12am Brendan: Good morning Joe and all. Neither bright eyed nor bushy tailed. Sounding good.
	10:13am Greg g: Sounding very nice Joe
	10:14am Son Of Pantz: I must bust out my Dad Joke, in honor of France's vote. Two cats decide to have a swimming contest. One cat is called "One Two Three" the other cat is called "Un Deux Trois". Which cat won? "One Two Three" because "Un Deux Trois cat sank"
	10:15am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, all. @SoP: Ha ha!
	10:16am P-90: (le groan)
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HeeHee SoP ...just what we wanna see in the ...Chat.
	10:16am BennyThePlug: Really digging this set! Go Joe Go!
	10:17am dday: There's that Bowie "Man Who Sold The World" riff again :)
	10:18am P-90: Le Chat Room
	👻 10:18am Hughie Considine: yep, they seem to do a lot of interpolation of parts of other songs.... that "It's enough, it's enough" bit in "Wet Dream" seems a shoutout to Sleater-Kinney's song of the same name...
	10:18am Joe McG: @dday: I heard that, too!
	10:19am dday: Borrow from the best
	10:20am Colin in Durham England: COME ON THE WET LEGS
	10:20am P-90: @dday: spot on
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems them allusions are specific, then.
	10:22am P-90: Love that Rickenbacker bass tone
	10:25am Ryansterlingvirtue: love this song so much.
	10:25am dday: @Colin wsn't atht SLADE Come On Feel The Wet Legs? :)
	10:26am dday: Keyboard fart..wasn't that
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh good ! Thunderbirds on ShoutTV (via PlutoTV) to look @...
	10:29am Phillippe: @Handy @9:40 hey there! sorry, got sucked into a call. As far as the road, now at home, was only away mid-week last week. Kind of a wifey work-related thing, but saw some old friends as well. How are y'all?
	10:33am Brian C.: @Joe McG, Obverse? Are you into numismatics?
	10:34am donpappy: "Damn someone played this song a couple of hours ago." I live in Minneapolis, and I wish the local station would have this thought too.
	10:37am Joe McG: @donpappy: I can't even watch Crackle anymore because of that Trulicity commercial!
	10:37am dday: That Spiritualized track reminded me of Polyphonic Spree
	👻 10:37am tadpoles: The name of the place is "I like it like this!"
	10:39am egould: More Tull!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the Hush 45 about the house in my toddlerhood - silver Tetragrammaton label...
	10:39am queems: now we’re cooking
	👻 10:39am Hughie Considine: The Charlatans leveraged this riff, didn't they...
	10:39am daveffromtoronto: Joe south shoutout!
	10:39am Peter from Dover NJ: Great show today, Joe. Thank you.
	10:40am swivs: @Revolution Rabbit Same here. Nice one, Joe.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'One More Rainy Day' on the obverse...
	10:40am Gerry from Miami: Rod Evans on the lead vocal on early Purple.
	10:40am Joe McG: @swivs: This organ solo! @RR63: Hard to choose! Love that song, too.
	10:41am Brendan: Too much too fast. He went from not being able to dance to really shakin’ ‘em down faster than is safe for anyone. Hence the mashed potato, twist, etc. Happens all the time. We’ll start him on some Perry Como and he’ll be fine in a week.
	10:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha!
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - RodEvans as with - you'll pardon me - CAPTAIN BEYOND.
	10:42am JG: a little different this deep purple single from the album /classic rock station version. an all time great song though. Also a huge fan of the riff on "Burn"
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be embarrassed that '68 Guns' was meaningful to me then ...or no?
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: @JG, I noticed that too!
	10:43am JG: @Joe, yes! all time great organ solo
	10:44am Joe McG: Anybody know what "68 Guns" is referencing? Some kind of Welsh history?
	10:44am dday: Captain Beyond is actually on tour in 2022
	10:44am Joe McG: dday: Whoa!
	10:44am ?: second Alarm song i've heard on FMU in a week. wow! saw them live btw - you could smell the hairspray before they even reached the stage
	10:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): When I first heard this song I thought it was The Clash.
	10:45am Phillippe: Alarm -- nice!
	10:45am Barney Grubbs: thealarm.com...
	10:46am Gerry from Miami: REV RABBIT, had the good fortune to see Captain Beyond(can't even remember if it was the 80s or 90s) in LA. Small, refurbished movie theater setting
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was my BruceSpringsteen, I suppose...
	10:46am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe McG and everyone.
	10:46am P-90: Hey @rx
	10:47am dday: The Alarm: Mike Peters: maninthecamojacket.com Inspiring documentary. Never Give Up!
	10:47am BLCKDGRD: Lordy, I'm stupid for Ferry
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx BarneyG
	10:47am Joe McG: @Barney: Thanks, Barney! It's about a street gang.
	10:48am P-90: The “other Bowie”
	10:49am Listener Alexandra: This set is giving me so much life (much needed after four days in L.A.) Thanks, Joe!
	10:49am listener james from westwood: Brown track = absolutely perfect dance single.
	👻 10:50am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies from the tennis booth!
	10:50am Brendan: It’s raining men
	10:51am BennyThePlug: it's a good thing you guys can't see me dancing.
	10:51am Jason from Houston: Good morning, chresti! Good weather there?
	10:52am Brendan: Someone get this chick a cold shower
	10:52am Stanley: Man, that disco toon rocked. Despite the silly sounds at the end.
	10:53am Joe McG: Hey Alex, chresti!
	👻 10:53am chresti: The Barista on my way to work asked about my wfmu shirt, made a note of tuning in. Morning Jason, sunny 67 this morning, 90 degrees later.
	10:54am Morphe': miquel Brown So Many Men, So Little Time there is an 8'12" Extended version = even more men ...
	10:54am Jason from Houston: Good work, chresti! Humid and headed up to 85-ish here.
	10:54am KWilde: Go Joe!
	10:54am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! After hearing So Many Men and Too Many Fish, I am rethinking what 68 Guns was referring to.
	10:54am luka: DESMOND
	10:54am BennyThePlug: one of my fav reggae tracks! yes!!!
	10:55am luka: i've never heard this version!!
	10:55am Stanley: Earwig-o!
	10:55am Jason from Houston: Whoooooa.... Never heard this version!!!
	10:55am Polly.: never heard this version! thanks Joe!!
	10:55am Gerry from Miami: Whew! This Marvelettes classic was a staple of my freshman year in college('64-'65) in Philadelphia. WIBG, RADIO 99. Joe Niagara, Hy Lit! Oh, yeah!
	👻 10:55am Webhamster Henry: Kind of a disco-y Israelites here.
	10:56am Joe McG: Yeah, crazy hyper two-tone remake!
	10:56am BennyThePlug: luka - i've never heard this upbeat version either! Thanks Joe!! Sax solo isn't in the version I'm familiar with.
	10:56am Pale Son: Stiff records!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not an improvement but okay.
	10:57am Onion: That bass is amazing...
	10:57am dday: Desmond represented twice in one morning..Stellar!
	👻 10:57am chresti: Weird version?
	10:57am P-90: Desmond totally blew my mind when he first hit top forty AM radio when I was a wee lad
	10:57am olacle: Thankful to the Universe for you Joe ❤️
	10:57am Stevel: Until this morning Israelites was “Dead or Alive.” #lyricalmuddling
	10:57am ?: awesome "Israelites"!
	10:58am Joe McG: @olacle: And you!
	10:58am P-90: In the second grade the boys all called it “The Jizzrealites” but that’s another story
	10:59am Gerry from Miami: I had a friend who would never let up in calling David Gates and Bread the wimpiest band ever. Sure, it's light, but pleasant and relaxing.
	👻 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Had not heard that version of "Israelites" before.
	10:59am ?: fun to hear a diff. version of a song i've heard so many times
	10:59am Jason from Houston: Off to work... Gotta get that Bread.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not a GeorgeMartin Production - was David Gates himself.
	10:59am BLCKDGRD: Richard Thompson Band used to segue in and out of Israelites in the middle of kickass live Crawl Back to close shows back in day, yowza
	11:00am Joe McG: The original "Israelites" was a Top 10 song in 1969. Pretty early reggae in the U.S.A.
	11:00am dday: I had that Dekker 45 on UNI records in the US when I was 10 or 11 years old
	11:01am Pale Son: Joe's working hard for my star clicks in this set!
	11:01am Mister Dobalina: Hola, Joe! Solid show so far !!
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...did George Martin ever work w/ Bread, or only America ??...
	11:03am P-90: @Joe: it was pretty much the very first Reggae sound most folks in America heard. Also I believe it actuality charted twice a year or two apart if I recall correctly.
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aretha open mouth. Thing Happens.
	11:03am Mike Sin: Well all right JoeMcG!
	11:04am Gerry from Miami: Yes, JOE. KHJ and KRLA in Los Angeles were both playing the heck out of "Israelites" in mid-1969 right before Mr. Nixon drafted my butt and sent me off to Vietnam.
	👻 11:04am chresti: Joe@11, one of the first reggae hits in the US
	11:04am Son Of Pantz: Reservois Dogs might have brought it back to the charts in the 90's.
	👻 11:06am SeaCreature: Yeah that Aretha is on Duane anthology
	11:07am PMD: Tuned in just in time to hear 'yowza' yay!
	👻 11:07am chresti: Drugstore Cowboy played Israelites, too
	11:09am Brendan: I wish they used The Stand on the game show, Price is Right,…. Come On Down!
	11:11am Uleeshuh TN: the Hits Villegas USA documentary might be the best music doc ever
	11:11am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe, will take a look at that Tirzah CD next week!
	11:13am Sam: Stop feeding birds!
	11:13am Andres: Do not bring poultry based sandwiches for lunch.
	11:14am Polly.: as 'they' say about non-domesticated animals: a fed animal is a dead animal
	11:15am Joe McG: @mark: Excellent!
	11:15am TerrDE: the birds natural sources are declining. i agree about bread tho
	11:15am Sam: It's ok to feed feral cats though
	11:15am efd: People who don’t live in New Jersey could drive or take public transportation to the movie screening, lest anyone think they’re unwelcome.
	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The domestic cat is an invasive species in North America. But then so are white people.
	11:17am HyperDose: I'd rather cuddle a cat, RRN63
	11:17am dday: Bread: I lost my older brother Dave in a car wreck in 1995. A good friend sang Bread's "Everything I Own" at his funeral. Just thinking of the song brings me to tears. "Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you once again"
	11:19am Morphe': Found a 1960s book of kids' puns/riddles to Giver Rodger for Double Dip.. eg: When is ok to give Elephant milk to a baby => When it is a baby elephant ... (weeeeeWaaaaa..)
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday always liked that one. Without even knowing it was Bread... Subconscoius favorites.
	11:19am Uleeshuh TN: you can feed birds...overtonpark.org...
	11:20am Joe McG: @dday: Sorry for your loss! Ken Boothe does a beautiful reggae version of that song.
	11:21am Morphe': DDay - sorry about that. How old was yer brother at the time??
	11:22am Gerry from Miami: ATTENTION: Joe McGasko. Just put "Witchi Tai To supremes" into Google and, voila, lots of options. YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud etc. Happy listening!
	👻 11:22am chresti: Boney M next?
	11:22am Joe McG: @Gerry: You're the best, thanks!
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday yes - sorry for your loss. <3
	11:23am Joe McG: @chresti: Or Young Marble Giants. :)
	11:23am P-90: Thank you @Jerry
	11:23am P-90: *Gerry
	11:25am Brendan: Never ever feed a bird bread or a member of Bread.
	11:25am dday: RR63: I believe David Gates was the producer on all Bread discs with Jac Holzman as a collaborative ear from Elecktra Records. The amazing Bruce Botnick engineered
	11:25am rx scabin: Good bye, everyone.
	11:26am dday: Thanks All; @morphe': He was 39. 1995 was a very bad year in my world. Lost 13 friends & family members in 12 months
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: dday interesting ! A vacation from the doors one imagines ?...
	11:27am Son Of Pantz: Very Laurie Anderson-esqe
	11:28am dday: Most likely. Elektra had quite a roster of extraordinary artists
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes I got the 'Forever Changing' box. Barely a sampler!
	11:30am Joe McG: I did a whole Elektra show once and barely scratched the surface!
	11:31am PMD: So funny. This song - sounds like 'talk about Wordle'...
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Touch of GraceJones.
	11:33am Gerry from Miami: @dday. Bruce Botnick's engineering touch was all over the place----Bread, Love, the Doors, film composer Jerry Goldsmith, Eddie Money. He even assisted on the Stones' "Let It Bleed." Quite a career!
	👻 11:33am YETI BOB: Love love love this Ibibio Sound Machine. Check out the video for "Protection from Evil" if you haven't seen it (and aren't sensitive to strobe effects!)
	11:35am P-90: Bit of a Lorde-like vibe on this
	👻 11:36am chresti: Bye rx!
	11:36am PMD: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 I agree
	11:36am Joe B: bummed to have missed the alarm!
	11:36am zoe623: Liking this
	11:37am ChukAmok: I have heard artists who had experience working with Elektra use the name "Neglectya" in describing them.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: We have a cleaning lady who comes over every 2 weeks. Usually I turn off the radio b/c I just assume she's not interested in my weirdo sh*t. But today, she said "This is nice music, leave it on!". (She's from Ukraine, we've been giving her extra money to send to her family back there).
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's funny. Development & promotion maybe not their strongest muscle? & weren't they long ago swallowed into another Major...
	11:39am Hubig Pie: Al Massrieen = The Egyptians , in case anyone was wonderin'.
	11:39am Dayffid: This Good Taste song reminds me of one from flight of the concord haha. Can’t remember the name of it, but it was singing about getting rude with the food
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - Class Act.
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: Hubig: Not to be confused with Robyn Hitchcock's late 80's/early 90's backing band
	11:41am Gerry from Miami: I noticed in all the tizzy revolving around Joni Mitchell and her late-career adulation(well-deserved, of course!), that little if any mention has been made of the contributions made to her large catalog by the late Henry Lewy, her wonderful engineer and sometime-producer. She would be the first to acknowledge his invaluable contributions, if anyone bothered to ask!
	11:41am Joe McG: @Hubig Pie: I was, thanks!
	11:41am Joe McG: @Yeti Bob: I'm glad she likes the tunes!
	11:41am dday: @Chuck: if you weren't selling volume, all the labels of the time were guilty of neglecting their artists. Some were better than others, but all were guilty to some extent. Probably the best two for good promotion were Atlantic & A&M because they had people at the top who really cared about the music
	11:44am Andres: Joe’s Elektra show (I missed it): https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/69057 Last set all Elektra (I heard it): https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/107584
	11:44am Stanley: Hi Hubig - I can taste the ta'ameya, as I write this greeting
	11:45am Joe McG: Thanks for posting those, Andres! I really love Elektra, at least up to the sale to Kinney or whoever.
	11:46am Joe B: elektra was probably better than most.
	11:47am dday: @Gerry: i am lucky enough to call bass legend Harvey Brooks a friend (haven't seen him in years, now living in Israel). He worked with Botnick on The Doors Soft Parade record and corroborated this info from the pediaofwiki in conversations we had in a local studio & at a local watering hole : "In November 1968, the band entered the newly established studio Elektra Sound West on La Cienega Boulevard to continue work on The Soft Parade, a process that was not completed until early 1969. Without any album-ready material to work with, record producer Paul A. Rothchild took control of the recording sessions and insisted on numerous retakes of songs, much to the group's indignation. "It was like pulling teeth to get Jim into it", sound engineer Bruce Botnick recalled. "It was bizarre ... the hardest I ever worked as a producer." Rothchild, who by this time was addicted to cocaine and incredibly strict in his leadership, caused severe strife in the studio, especially with his advisor Jac Holzman, who argued that the drive for perfection was "grinding them [The Doors] into the ground".The album was by far the most expensive by the group, costing US$80,000 to create in contrast to the US$10,000 required for their debut.
	11:48am Morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!
	11:48am HyperDose: Thanks for keeping it real, Joe! 💨☕
	11:49am Hubig Pie: Stanley, ta'amia in any other language is the beloved falafel. I think the Egyptians used fava instead of garbanzo .
	11:50am Jason from Houston: Dirty!
	11:50am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & always held up as the doors' overproduced album.
	11:51am dday: RR63: true
	11:52am Joe McG: Hey Joe B.! Making way for the 3 Chord Monte very shortly, folks. Thanks for listening and commenting today! Hope you enjoyed the show. Have a great week!
	11:52am JG: @DDay interesting stuff. Soft Parade is such a great album w such weird and unique words and sounds. Nobody else but the Doors, but I guess w a lot of help from Rothschild
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - a little too much attention from a cokehead, by that account....
	11:53am dday: RR63: welllll... ;)
	11:53am Greg g: Thanks for the tines Joe, gotta go!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No problem Jimbo's writing or the band (ever, imho)...
	11:53am Greg g: “tunes” that is
	11:54am dday: RR63: I much preferred "Strange Days"
	11:54am Gerry from Miami: @dday. Thanks for that deep look into a corner of rock history! Not surprised that the Lizard King was reluctant to polish his performances with extra takes. Maybe Botnick should be given lots more credit than he has received as the "sound" of all the Doors' albums still blows me away to this day.
	👻 11:54am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...granted - handling JimMorrison not a job I'd wish on anyone...
	11:55am P-90: Thanks as always @DJ Joe McG
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am Stanley: Hubig - you are absolutely right. Lovely fried patties, brown on the outside and green inside. Tahini, lemon, chili, salad, even fried aubergine. Exceedingly good street food.
	11:55am Brendan: Thanks Joe.
	11:57am Mark Hurst: A+ show today, Joe! Thanks.
	11:57am Gerry from Miami: JOE, excellent show, as always. Now go listen to the Supremes' version of "Witchi Tai To!"
	11:57am Morphe': Taim in NYC is probably the best take awayFalafel in Lower Manhattan - 2 locations..
	11:57am brycepunk1: Great show today! Thank you :)
	11:57am P-90: Hurst! See you later?
	11:58am Mark Hurst: @P-90 yes indeed
	👻 11:58am DjLorraine: Many thanks Joe, plus a few more!
	11:58am Andres: Thanks, Joe!!
	11:58am TDK60: That was peppy. Thanks, Joe.
	11:59am dday: RR63: from another now late aquaintence, blues guitar virtuoso Lonnie Mack, who also frequented said studio I mentioned in the early 80's, there was this time when Jim came into the studio in LA where Morrison Hotel was in session, wasted, looking like he'd just had a fight, sprayed the studio lobby with a fire extinguisher, came into the studio, did the vocals for Roadhouse Blues in one take & left. He was a handful by all accounts
	11:59am Stanley: Morphe'- fava or garbanzos?
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~
	👻 12:04pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.
