	9:10am Joe McG: Lourds and ladies, welcome to this morning's programme.
	9:10am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Chris Hiatt @9:07 I'd fly in for that. Wassail! Wassail!
	9:11am Chief Guy: You do us great honor, Lord Joe.
	9:12am Joe McG: Some background on the inspiration for this suite: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:12am clarke: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" this is great! however, i like what some have done to longer works, on the youtube, by making segments of longer works available.
	9:13am PaulRobeson1923: Morningggggggg
	9:15am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @9:12 there was a decent BBC series about the roman occupation of england, but i can't recall the name of it. at this juncture.
	9:15am listener 126464: Good day, ye all.
	👻 9:15am 2/3 of the Perrin Family: good morning all.
	👻 9:16am Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" Imma crank this up for the 9:30 staff meeting.
	👻 9:16am DjLorraine: It's safe to surface with Joe at the turntables. Ello fellow umans. 💕
	👻 9:16am DanielMac Listener 272753: Good Morning Joe and all!
	👻 9:17am Webhamster Henry: It's time to surface the noise.
	9:18am G: Up since 5:25 CT. Mucho online work to get to today. Thanks for the calming set...
	9:19am Joe McG: Alas, here in JC, the sun isn't breaking through the clouds, but we can imagine it shining over the cathedral, can't we?
	9:19am morphe': Sweet opening ....
	9:19am northguineahills: ↳ Joe McG @9:12 thanks, joe!
	9:20am clarke: ↳ G @9:18 the cathedral set is gnashing teeth.
	9:20am iamstiv: Good morrow, goodmen and goodwives
	👻 9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" In my mind, I'm picturing cartoon character Martin Prince dancing along to this. Then Nelson Muntz punches him in the stomach.
	9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @9:15 Are you thinking of Britannia? That show was nuts! Great to see Mackenize Crook get a chance to chew the scenery.
	👻 9:21am Webhamster Henry: Krummhorn alert!
	👻 9:21am Charles in Chicago: Our cat seems to be really enjoying this music.
	9:21am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 i think that is the one, but there is another series about the celts, too. i gets confuse.
	9:22am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:21 That's quite nice! :)
	9:24am Dean: Well, of course, from Amazing Blondel to Gryphon.
	9:24am clarke: a to b.
	9:24am PNX: Does anyone know if there is a URL that will take you to the playlist page of whatever show is currently on air?
	👻 9:25am Webhamster Henry: AND OH HOW THEY DANCED!
	👻 9:25am Gregolomania: Hoping Sir Robin's Minstrel is up next.
	👻 9:25am Hughie Considine: The little children of Stonehenge
	👻 9:25am Hughie Considine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:25 you beat me to it by THAT MUCH
	9:25am bobob plasticland: Red Queen
	9:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:25 in danger of being trampled.
	👻 9:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @9:25 There you go, putting the evil in medieval again...
	9:26am clarke: it's what we do.
	9:27am bobob plasticland: I have a radio show WREK called Stonehenge Ga tech 91 ... Fridays
	👻 9:27am Marley P. Dogg: This song is a jammer!
	9:27am Dean: The astonishing Richard Harvey on recorder. Saw him at Wigmore Hall in London long ago.
	9:27am Edgar from Maine: Dead Can Dance did some cool interpretations of medieval music.
	9:28am tak: hey I saw this band a few years ago! it was wild!
	9:28am bobob plasticland: had this lp back in the 70s I believe
	9:28am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @9:27 Total shredder.
	9:28am tak: they were all dressed like wizards
	9:28am dale: dang. i always mention amazing blondel to deejays here as a 'nudge nudge' and when they are finally played i missed it.
	9:29am G: ↳ clarke @9:20 They probably do that a lot.
	👻 9:29am Hughie Considine: This might sound lowbrow, but "Safety Dance" would work in this set.
	9:29am Will: More crumhorn!
	9:30am clarke: ↳ G @9:29 i wish we could have swept the sox - don't tell EFD!!
	9:30am bobobob Fabtriplasticland: men w/0 dix
	9:30am MKT in Inwood: Was thinking of the performance in Agamemnon’s (?) palace from Time Bandits
	9:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:29 not a highbrow.
	9:31am BillfromRockTavern: Saw Gryphon open up for ELP or someone like that at MSG way way back .
	9:31am Dean: The connection between Re-Flex and this set is tighter than one might think. Paul Fishman led a one-LP group, Absolute Elsewhere, that featured Bill Bruford on drums. It was decent spacey synth-prog from the time that spawned Gryphon. Fishman left to form Re-Flex.
	9:33am tak: re: gryphon: they reunited because they found a fan website that was made some time in the 90s by a portuguese fan, and they came to Pt to play two shows in the same festival. Very Nice old men
	9:33am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:31 was this before bruford was in Yes?
	9:33am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Digging this Marshall Tucker Chamber Orchestra. Flaut on.
	9:34am Dean: After Bruford was in Yes. '76? He was doing a bit of session work, e.g., Roy Harper, Absolute Elsewhere.
	9:34am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @9:33 Didn't quite fit the period, but it has David Munrow on it, the king of the medieval sound!
	9:34am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:34 righto. danke.
	👻 9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ PNX @9:24 There really should be, but it looks like the "playlist and comments" link on the main page invokes some Javascript, so it's not a simple URL
	9:36am Dean: Munrow lived only six more years. Hanged himself.
	9:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ tak @9:33 I found their Red Queen to Gryphon Three LP on the street a couple years back.
	9:37am G: ↳ clarke @9:30 Win every series. 2 of every 3 games is 108 wins, a killer record. The Orioles will be over 100 by the end. A 7-2 road trip with six late games on the west coast and two rain marathons at Fenway is fine. Gotta crush the Cards now.
	9:37am Joe McG: ↳ Dean @9:36 Sad!
	9:37am morphe': Pleasant Delites ... to misquote someone "... the gods doth toy with us like boys pulling wings off butterflies..."
	9:37am G: ↳ clarke @9:33 Bruford's first band was Yes. He left in 72-73.
	9:37am clarke: ↳ G @9:37 oh yeah, but a sweep would always be nice - like this week!
	9:38am Dean: Bruford played briefly with Savoy Brown before Yes!
	9:38am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:38 and apparently was in a beat band before Savoy
	9:38am Son Of Pantz: This whole set is reminding me of the original Wicker Man. What a great and spooky flick.
	9:39am Mike W.: Having some difficulty explaining this episode of Surface Noise to my elderly mom
	9:39am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In You Dwells the Light Which Never Sets" by "Joz... josef van wissem! I love this album!
	9:40am Joe McG: ↳ Mike W. @9:39 "Dudes with lutes"?
	9:41am G: ↳ clarke @9:37 Maybe sweep the Cards. TB is tough, the Mariners totally wilted against them this past weekend. But all we need to do to come out on top of TB is win one game of four later this week. A split would be good, 2-2. Maybe even 3-1, who knows. Gotta play the games on the field, not on paper!
	9:41am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	👻 9:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @9:40 I think that was the original name of Men Without Hats.
	9:41am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:38 It's getting to be spooky flick season, so I'll put that one on my list.
	9:41am clarke: chicks with flutes?
	9:42am chris_in_space: This show is the best thing about Monday mornings. Good to be here!
	9:42am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Joe McG @9:34 I love David Munrow!
	9:42am clarke: ↳ G @9:41 right you are!!
	9:43am Joe McG: ↳ chris_in_space @9:42 Aw, shucks!
	👻 9:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Don't Send Me Away" by "The Verlaines" Aw, now this is perfect, and it's a McGasko fave.
	👻 9:44am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: Here's a twist. I'm sitting in on a meeting, but following the accuplay chat.
	9:44am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Send Me Away" by "The Verlaines" charming!
	9:44am G: ↳ Dean @9:38 We can count this as part of his pro career or not, I guess haha, at age 18-19. -- Wiki: "In January 1968, he unsuccessfully auditioned for a place in Savoy Brown at a pub in Battersea, but he "hung around until the end and told them they had the wrong guy ... I talked my way into it". His tenure only lasted three gigs because he "messed with the beat", and followed this with a brief stint in the psychedelic rock band Paper Blitz Tissue. Bruford then spotted an ad in a music shop from The Noise, who were looking for a drummer to play with them for a six-week residency at the Piper Club in Rome, Italy. He remembered the experience as "ghastly", felt his bandmates could not play properly, and had to hitchhike back to London with his kit." He then placed an ad in Melody Maker, which Jon Anderson saw.
	9:45am dale: ray thomas!
	9:45am Brian in garden: ↳ Dean @9:38 His son played drums with Infidels.
	9:45am queems: i love this song 😭
	9:46am Dean: Bruford's autobiography is a good read. His dissertation, maybe not so much.
	9:46am dale: seventh sojourn, the only album where justin hayward didn't have the hits.
	9:46am G: ↳ Dean @9:46 I've read both. Not a dumb guy.
	9:46am TDK60: ↳ queems @9:45 Morning Joe! Surfacers. Queems! It's the Moodies.
	9:46am chresti: Mike W, how old is “elderly?”
	9:47am queems: howdy tdk!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ☽Monday FMUvianz~ ...it had to happen. JoeMcG finally got fed up with our crap ...& went Medieval on our heinies...
	9:48am Brian in garden: ↳ Song: "For My Lady" by "The Moody Blues" Is this Ray Thomas singing?
	9:48am clarke: and now he's going for baroque!!
	9:49am dale: isn't life strange?
	9:49am Dean: If you want to "go Medieval," you could do worse than start with the box sets by the Clemencic Consort, Troubadours and Carmina Burana. Tons of great music.
	9:49am Son Of Pantz: ↳ clarke @9:48 If it ain't Baroque don't fix it.
	9:50am Dean: Anything by Sequentia, too.
	9:50am clarke: ahhh, bach!!
	9:52am Chris Hiatt: I dunno if it was real easy, those theorbo parts sounded pretty challenging.
	9:52am TerrDE: Joe, we hold you in higher regard than Queen Victoria; so feel free to be WE.
	👻 9:54am Webhamster Henry: Here's a little satirical tune from the late '50s about the Pro Musica Antiqua jhhl.net...
	9:54am dale: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" 'england' is a fantastic album, too.
	9:54am JeremyB: I've always wondered why most of the DJs back announce going backwards. There must be a reason... I always think starting with the beginning of the set you kind of get the transitions
	👻 9:56am Charles in Chicago: ↳ JeremyB @9:54 It seems pretty natural to say what just ended. Then you have a choice whether to keep going backwards or to jump to the beginning.
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ JeremyB @9:54 I think because before playlists, people would count the songs from one they particularly liked till the mic break, so going backward lets listeners figure out which song they wanted to note. Creamo back-announces from the top of his sets. I think Michele does sometimes?
	9:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Le galant indiscret" by "Malicorne" Thanks for playing Malicorne, one of my absolute faves!
	9:58am Dean: Michaela Petri is another virtuoso recorder player. She now runs her own label and plays music of all ages. And Marion Verbruggen, whose traversal of selections from Van Eyck's Der Fluten Lust-Hof is pretty spectacular.
	👻 9:58am Charles in Chicago: Sting lute album sounds like a joke but apparently it's real
	👻 9:59am Charles in Chicago: (I guess if you wait long enough, everything happens)
	9:59am JeremyB: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:57 That makes sense. If you're listening in the car you may not have heard the whole set either so going backwards would be more helpful
	10:00am Noir Lover: Some great Turkish music that features lute.
	10:00am The Oscar: As someone who has only vaguely followed Sting's career, I am disappointed to learn that his lute album and his collaboration with Shaggy are two different records.
	10:00am clarke: uhh, that first hour went pretty dang fast...
	10:01am Joe McG: ↳ The Oscar @10:00 Ha ha!
	10:02am clarke: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" there are some great songs on this album, but this is not one of the ones i would choose.
	10:02am Fishtown Mike: Sting also did a sea shanty album. Both that album & the his lute playing madrigal signing bard album are a running joke in our house. There were two separate Sunday Morning profiles of both his cosplay adventures. Probably on the youtubes somewhere.
	10:03am Edgar from Maine: ↳ clarke @10:02 I really like Blue Over Blue.
	10:03am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @9:58 Definitely going to check out her work. Have you heard the Bach flute sonata album she did (on recorder) with Keith Jarrett on harpsichord?!
	10:03am Joe McG: ↳ Fishtown Mike @10:02 Wow, a sea shanty album! I'm starting to think I need to find out what Sting has been up to besides making wine.
	10:03am morphe': ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" Is this really 2023 or a re-release ... has a truly 60s sound = as in recording technique? Is it full on recording, not tracked?
	10:03am clarke: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:03 and, i like this one, but not the too many 'beats' parts.
	10:04am clarke: you don't wanna have too many beats.
	10:05am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:03 Sting's other pursuit or another ... NYC real estate [and other locals]...
	10:06am Edgar from Maine: Sea shanties are awful unless you're manual labor on an old boat and have no other choice.
	10:07am Dean: Yes, Chris. Jarrett's classical work is top-notch. His Shostakovich 48 is one of the best.
	10:07am Dean: Sting used to be in a rock band, too.
	10:07am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:06 Agreed. There isn't enough grog in the world to make me listen to a sea shanty.
	10:08am Joe McG: ↳ morphe' @10:05 I didn't know he was also a real estate mogul. He should open a lute spot.
	10:08am Dean: Sting plays for loot.
	10:10am Bob Barth: Good morning Joe! Hey everybody!
	10:10am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:08 I befriended a Lute Maker in Madrid whose workshop was the storefront in the building in which I was living, but he lost his biz in the pandemic ... it was already gone hand to mouth for a long time ...
	10:10am Dean: I'm a big fan of Dowland. Can't stomach the thought of Gordon Sumner man-handling such beautiful music. Paul O'Dette has a nice complete Dowland lute works (no vocals): https://archive.org/details/PaulODette-Dowland_CompleteLuteWorksVolumes1-5
	👻 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: With the abundance of flute this morning, I'm anticipating a Tull-centric Jim Price show this afternoon.
	10:11am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:07 I think they're fun to sing. Was in a band with an acoustic guitarist who broke a lot of strings, we worked up a bunch of shanties to sing while he got his axe back in action.
	10:12am wendy del formaggio: I’ve always loved this Thievery Corp remix. Thanks, Joe!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:11 they all are tull-centric, aren't they?
	10:12am Joe McG: ↳ morphe' @10:10 Must be tough to be a lute repairman in 2023.
	10:13am Rich in Bristol: Hope everyone's having a good am/pm!
	10:13am JeremyB: Listening to this, I was sorta hearing Brazilian Girls Sabina Sciubba- She was definitely influenced but Astrud I would think
	10:13am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:08 https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/sting-buys-another-robert-a-m-stern-designed-new-york-city-apartment-for-65-7m-205908 https://nypost.com/2022/06/09/stings-former-nyc-duplex-listing-for-18-95-million/
	10:14am Brian in garden: ↳ Joe McG @10:12 Not as bad as a Theremin tuner.
	10:14am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Dance with Me" by "Nouvelle Vague" Great tentacles of Cthulhu ... this sounds like CocoRosie.
	10:14am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:13 i may have asked this before, rich, but have you heard of a band from bristol called Z+ (or zed plus)??
	10:15am Brian in garden: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:13 Sun has just come out here in South Shropshire.
	👻 10:22am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Black and White Badge" by "Sally Potter" Fred Frith on guitar and bass!
	10:24am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:22 Yes, and produced, I think!
	👻 10:24am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Black and White Badge" by "Sally Potter" kinda Fallout-y
	👻 10:28am egould: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" Good morning, Joe McG. I’ve been dozing in and out, listening to the show. Been loving the music selections so far. Now I’m awake. Let’s do ‘Single File’.
	10:29am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Brian in garden @10:15 Lovely! Sun's out here now, too.
	👻 10:29am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" Honestly that remake sounds a lot like the 1981 version to me, at least as I remember it, haven't heard that record in a long time
	10:29am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @10:14 I don't think I have, no. Any song recommendations?
	10:30am clarke: Z+ is, by FAR, my favoritest bandcamp "discovery" - some bedsit kids in a housing-project in Bristol. but, they disappeared, kinda. don't answer any queries, etc.
	10:30am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:29 their whole 'album' is fantastic - very mellow, but great.
	10:31am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" The Mekons were the last band I had a crush on. After that, never again.
	10:31am LCBD: "Good gravy" - I love it! My mom used to say that!
	10:32am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" Sam Cooke is one of a handful of artists who I can think of no legitimate reason to dislike.
	👻 10:32am Marley P. Dogg: Haha - I can’t hear this song and not think of the cafeteria scene in Animal House
	👻 10:32am egould: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" John Belushi going through the cafeteria line…
	👻 10:32am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" Man, I love Sam Cooke
	10:32am desi: mornin wow I was just transported back to my grandparents victrola spinnin this classic tune TY
	10:33am Philip: Great song.
	10:33am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" I feel seen.
	10:35am Mike Sin: Been able to catch most of the show live today. Glad you're still on the new schedule!
	10:36am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:35 Thanks, Mike!
	10:37am Marie in Queens: Hello Joe and All, greatly enjoying the show. I was thinking a good nickname for ya, Joe, might be WFMU's Gentle Giant (of Monday Mornings)
	👻 10:38am DanielMac Listener 272753: ↳ Marie in Queens @10:37 That's a good one Marie!
	10:38am clarke: ↳ Song: "Que Reste-t-il (Where Do You Go)" by "Petula Clark" oui!!
	10:39am Joe McG: ↳ Marie in Queens @10:37 Unfortunately I'm only 5' 11"! :)
	10:41am Philip: Hank Snow! yah
	10:42am listener annie: what joy this is!!!
	10:42am Marie in Queens: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:38 Thanks!
	10:43am Marie in Queens: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 Hee hee hee. You know what I mean!
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 As the Incredible Shrinking Man said "To some people I might be tiny but to some others I might be a giant"
	👻 10:43am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" Can I just say how underrated I think the Kinks are?
	10:44am Edgar from Maine: They are rocking the synths here.
	10:45am Dean: Good early Kinks retrospective two Saturdays back on Bob Brainen's show: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/130734
	10:46am Rich from Wading River: Had this album on 8-track. A childhood favorite.
	10:46am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @10:43 I like that!
	10:46am morphe': ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" Did not realize the Kinks were still up and running in '79 or re-issue?? Oil crisis mentioned so '79..
	10:47am Jack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:43 I absolutely agree! This is one of my most consistant rants...
	10:47am Dean: They were definitely producing music in the late '70s.
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @10:46 That was a radio hit, from their album "Low Budget", I remember hearing it a lot when I was in HS
	10:48am Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" by "Scritt... Scritti Politti O M G
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:43 The Kinks have never been underrated on this Station. Poor organisation when they first toured the USA did them no favours.
	10:48am Kat in the chat: ❤️❤️❤️ for Scritti
	👻 10:48am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @10:46 (there was an oil crisis in '73 then another in '79.)
	10:49am Katharsis: Hellos all
	10:49am Jack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:48 I saw them at the Fillmore in '69 and they were so drunk it was embarrasing.
	👻 10:51am Brian in UK: ↳ Jack @10:49 They did themselves no favours. Fighting on stage is never a pathway to stardom. (You may see stars though!!)
	10:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:48 Julie's Dark Night of the Soul show (now) on the Drummer Stream certainly keeps the Kinks love alive.
	10:52am Dean: Oasis, Replacements...never?
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Hang-Ups" by "Bobby Hatfield" Want to hear '....Lovin' Feeling' now.
	10:52am Jack: ↳ Jack @10:49 they had to start "You Really Got Me" three times, and even then it wasn't right.
	10:53am Joe McG: The Kinks are actually one of my all-time favorite bands. I'm acutely conscious of overplaying them so I end up underplaying them. (DJ Hang-Up)
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 Is there a more evocative song than Waterloo Sunset? Well, sure there are but it is up there.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funny. That's what TheWho said about themselves : TheBeatles' PR was they were too happy to have fights - the Stones' that they were too kewl - those sorts were (in Daltrey's words) like the Centerfold you could never touch. Whereas TheWho were fighting right on stage...
	👻 10:56am tadpoles: ↳ morphe' @10:46 Well into the '80's...the magnificent "Come Dancing" from '82 and Ray Davies wrote the great "Quiet Life" for "Absolute Beginners" from '86 which I still think of as the Kinks. Cheers
	👻 10:57am chresti: ↳ Song: "Trudi's Song" by "Mott the Hoople" Sounded like he was saying Dolly Parton
	10:57am listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Hang-Ups" by "Bobby Hatfield" Your call is not important to us.
	👻 10:57am Hughie Considine: In Andrew Hickey's excellent podcast, 500 Songs, he makes a strong argument that Ray Davies's wife Rasa contributed much more to the songwriting than she's given credit for. He also makes a strong argument that Ray and Dave's surname is pronounced Davis. I learned a lot.
	10:58am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Ah, this!
	10:58am Jack: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 joe, I don't think you could overplay the Kinks. Go on! I dare you!!
	10:58am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Hell yeah! Love this cover, love Freakwater.
	10:58am Clincher16": ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Hard Country!
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♍︎Virgo, Year of Earth 🐀Rat John Martyn (born Iain David McGeachy) 11 September 1948 – 29 January 2009
	10:58am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Oh man, I love this.
	👻 10:59am DanielMac Listener 272753: I wonder how you came about this 45 Joe...did the name and title just pique your interest?
	10:59am Joe McG: ↳ Jack @10:58 So many people at FMU already do this regularly that I'd have to find a new angle to make it exciting.
	10:59am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:57 It is correctly pronounced "Davis", according to my former next-door neighbor. She knew them but I have no idea how.
	11:00am Joe McG: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:59 I think the Cardigans made me open to Black Sabbath covers in other styles!
	11:00am Jack: ↳ Joe McG @10:59 I think a good challenge would be to play "The Worst of The Kinks"...?
	👻 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" A little more work and they could have themselves a church hymn version of this.
	11:01am Clincher16": ↳ Jack @11:00 He just played one earlier in this set.
	11:01am drr: ↳ Jack @11:00 In college I would have said "Harry Rag" but now I'm okay with it.
	11:01am Joe McG: ↳ Jack @11:00 Not a bad idea! Make some enemies!
	👻 11:02am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @10:59 It's a hard habit to break! Like if you suddenly found out you were saying "Mick Jagger" incorrectly.
	11:03am Asheville Jon: YES, EAS TEST! love these!
	11:03am Franco Twinkie: Okay, time to go get a cookie.
	👻 11:03am Gregolomania: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 Always fun to Play the Cardigan's Iron Man for Sabbath heads. Reactions from bemusement to convulsions.
	👻 11:03am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @11:01 "Art Lover" doesn't sound so good these days.
	11:03am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:03 As part of Single File, FTW.
	11:04am Brendan: Copy that. Loud & clear.
	👻 11:04am chresti: ✅EAS
	11:05am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:03 Thank you! I was thinking of that -- The Kinks' "Aqualung"-- but couldn't remember the title. I was mixing it up the The Butterfly Collector by The Jam, too.
	11:05am TerrDE: Is there a reason the EBS can't be tested at 3AM ? Or must it annoy the most folks possible ?
	11:06am drr: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 When they used to do proper tests with the explanation of how and why it was being done, it was rather comforting.
	👻 11:07am Gregolomania: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 Beats Duck & Cover drills.
	👻 11:07am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" "A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees"
	👻 11:07am Karl: Where do you go? Where do you go now?
	11:10am TerrDE: Speaking of Sonny... How did a Freak child molester get elected to congress as a Republican ?
	👻 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 The cable TV EAS tests seem to come along at the end of a close sprots event or the moment the detective is about to solve the case. Never seem to happen when a long commercial break is going on.
	11:12am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.
	👻 11:13am DanielMac Listener 272753: Yes! Thank goodness Joe!! Hopefully for many Springs...and through many Falls!!
	11:13am chris_in_space: So glad you're still here in this Monday slot for the new schedule, Joe.
	👻 11:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:10 you can't interrupt the commercials, that would peeve the advertisers!
	👻 11:14am Webhamster Henry: Yes the Theremin workshop is sold out!
	👻 11:14am DanielMac Listener 272753: I'm going to miss Double Dip Recess :*(
	👻 11:15am Gregolomania: ↳ TerrDE @11:10 Probably started with this... www.bing.com...
	👻 11:15am Charles in Chicago: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 Moving to Sheena's
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 You know it's moving to the Sheena stream? Same time, just one stream over.
	👻 11:15am Webhamster Henry: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 DDR will be on the Sheena Jungle Stream in its usual timeslot. Or, Transpacific SOund PAridise is not a bad show to hear on a Saturday morning!
	👻 11:16am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Yeah, I'm pretty psyched to hear Weisberg on Saturday mornings
	11:16am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "God Save the Queen" by "The Bollock Brothers" "I mean it, MAN!"
	👻 11:16am Webhamster Henry: TSP may also occasionally give you some Vocal Fry while that show is off the schedule..
	11:17am The Oscar: I can get used to DDR in the Jungle Room, but not hearing TPSP over dinner will be surreal!
	11:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:16 Definitely going to be missing VF.
	👻 11:18am DanielMac Listener 272753: Thanks so much for the info Guys!
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" I love this!
	11:18am Rich in Bristol: Lovely covers, these!
	11:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" K8 did an a capella version of this for the soundtrack to a play she wrote.
	11:19am morphe': Wow- thematic cover set !!!! or 2 so far !!!
	11:19am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" Everything was turned into a dance track, wasn't it?
	11:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:18 Of "God Save the Queen."
	11:20am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle was one of the films I would always look for in video stores in high school, but NO ONE carried it anywhere near me out in the sticks. (Eraserhead was the other big one).
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:17 Fortunately there are lots of archives, and a few more fries on the long-gone Secret Museum of the Air show and the aforementioned TSP.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 I still have dreams of finding some crazy out-of-the-way video rental store with every movie I could possibly want.
	👻 11:22am Gregolomania: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 Eraserhead was tough to get for the longest time. I wound up with a copy with Korean subtitles.
	👻 11:22am Charles in Chicago: Punksploitation indeed
	👻 11:23am Charles in Chicago: (but I would have spelled it Punxploitation)
	11:24am Listener Scott: I guess Meco was too busy living large on his Star Wars royalties to cut a Sex Pistols track.
	11:24am Franco Twinkie: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 I went to the premier of The Great Rock 'N Roll Swindle in L.A. Believe me when I say it was as good as going to a rowdy club and seen a live band tearing the place to shreds.
	👻 11:24am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 There's one remaining Blockbuster in Bend, OR
	11:25am The Oscar: ↳ Gregolomania @11:22 Same!! I still have that old boot even though I've got the blu-ray now-- that tape was a totem of my youth.
	11:30am The Oscar: Nigel Planer from the Young Ones did a comedy record which included a lounge version of "God Save the Queen."
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Anarchy in the U.K." by "Frazier Chorus" Dur, no this is what K8 did the a capella version of. Too bad she's missing this set.
	11:32am Rich in Washington: ↳ Gregolomania @11:22 If I recall, it seemed like I had a pay a large-ish deposit to rent Eraserhead when I finally found a copy at a local store. Naturally, I ran copies for myself and my friends.
	11:32am Micheal: Poor Bill Grundy. Thanks for a fantastic show, Joe!
	👻 11:32am Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Anarchy in the U.K." by "Frazier Chorus" This is surprisingly pretty.
	11:33am The Oscar: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:32 Exactly what I did when I finally found a store with Urgh! A Music War!
	11:33am Rich in Washington: Bill Grundy had a weird spoken word bit on a Fall album.
	11:34am Son Of Pantz: Are we gonna hear the Megadeath cover, @JoeMcG?
	11:34am Rich in Washington: ↳ The Oscar @11:33 Yeah, that and the We’re All Devo VHS release.
	11:35am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:34 No, but maybe Sheila B. will play it on her next fill-in! ;)
	11:36am Rich in Washington: I think I still have Urgh! on VHS in deep storage. Apparently, subsequent DVD reissues of that movie omit certain song segments.
	11:36am morphe': Never Mind the Bollocks .... He's the McGasko !!!!
	11:37am Franco Twinkie: My favorite not The Sex Pistols /Sex Pistols will always be Who Killed Bambi by Ten Pole Tudor. His performance in TGR&RS vacuuming the carpet in a movie theater perfectly captures that feeling of missing a great show because you had to go to work.
	11:37am Planet Tyler: This is fun
	11:38am Dean: Paul Jones, "Pretty Vacant"
	11:38am The Oscar: Roger Ebert wrote a great piece once about when Malcolm flew him and Russ Meyer to London to pitch them on a Sex Pistols movie. It imploded, of course, but can you imagine...
	11:39am Brendan: Beautiful
	11:40am Strandlund: What a set!!! Thanks Joe!! FANTASTIC!!
	11:40am morphe': ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 Who Killed Bambi by Ten Pole Tudor. checking that at after Joe and the next Joe...
	11:40am Joe B: Joe, sorry forgot to stop downstairs - i'm in studio b today
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Great underappreciated band -- killer cover! They also do a great cover of the Eurythmics' "I Need You"
	11:41am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Wow! This is gorgeous!
	11:41am Andres: 🔥🔥🔥
	👻 11:42am egould: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Forgot about this. Need more Scrawl in my life.
	11:42am Crownless Gander: Good bawee!
	11:42am Joe McG: ↳ Joe B @11:40 No worries, Joe, I'll pot you up!
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:36 I went to Urgh the night The Cramps, X, DK's and Chrome played. I was sick and came to the realization I had been going to punk shows too long and needed a break. I never did take a break, but it felt different after that.
	11:43am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" A friend of a friend thought the lyric was, "I'm inside of Leontyne Price!"
	11:44am love2laf: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" Thank you Joe, Nouvelle Vague X2 has been a wonderful way to start my first day back from vacay. Hello accu friends, hope you've all had a great week, and an excellent morning.
	11:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @11:44 Good to see you, l2l.
	11:46am ?: Great interesting show today Joe !
	11:46am Joe B: ↳ Joe McG @11:42 ok will have bed music rolling thanks!
	11:47am Barefoot Jimmy G: Celibate Rifles! I see what you did there!
	11:47am rx "rexy" scabin: @love2laf how was your vacation?
	👻 11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Back in the Red" by "The Celibate Rifles" Celibate Rifles are here because their name is a play on Sex Pistols. haha!
	11:48am watchpocket: Quick question for the group: Is everyone but me getting strong signals on 91.1 and 91.9 the last few days?
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ watchpocket @11:48 I haven't noticed a change in 91.1 on the bathroom boombox lately.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ever get the feeling you've been depleted...
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Joe, been out walking the dog. Is this set due to PiL's new album. John Lydon interview here. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:50am Dean: Avengers still touring and playing.
	11:50am Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "No Fun" by "The Sex Pistols" Such a great sound and energy. Johnny Lydon always brings it
	11:51am love2laf: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:47 It was a great visit with my sister, but I am sad to say I did not get a single knowing nod wearing WFMU swag. Erin traveled in the carrier like a champ, and almost made friends with my sister's Rotti. @Handy it's good to be back, but how can you miss WFMU family if you never go away.
	11:51am watchpocket: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 Thanks, could be my radio and/or antenna screwing up, or new interference. Very odd, though.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...must be me ...where's the Bass ...harhar...
	11:51am Franco Twinkie: There's a shopping center where Winterland use to be.
	👻 11:52am egould: Gee whiz, Joe McG! You put together quite an entertaining show today. You’re a pretty decent DJ.
	11:52am Joe McG: Well, anyway, no one can say I never play punk rock on this show.
	11:52am Dean: Why do I have the feeling I've been cheated?
	👻 11:52am PeterD: Awesome set.
	👻 11:52am tadpoles: Great morning's music Joe...and thanks for playing the TVPs. Cheers.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:51 ...your future dream...
	11:52am morphe': ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" VAGUE was an intelligent Post-Situationist Journal that analyzed a lot of stuff, including McLaren and the Pistols and ... ps. Greil Marcus' "Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century" is a great read
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: You've earned your safety pin today, Mr. DJ.
	11:52am Marie in Queens: ↳ Joe McG @11:52 true dat!
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: The testicle references was quite gratutitous.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks for going on this submarine mission for us, Joe! Great show, top to bottom.
	11:52am Ike: ↳ watchpocket @11:48 91.1 and 91.9 don't seem different than usual at my apt. in Sunset Park, Bklyn. Though when I was in a car recently, I did notice SUPER overdriven fuzz coming from a 90.9 pirate (in Flatbush... I think?) causing some 91.1 trouble, but they're only on the air at night. I mean, the pirates are often overdriven or overmodulated or whatever, but this was NUTS.
	👻 11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Brian in UK @11:52 definitely below the belt
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ike @11:52 ...so ...the Pirates are - Great Fun ??...
	11:54am Bob Barth: That was quite fun Joe! Thank you.
	11:54am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @11:52 What's more punk than starting a show with Gothic and ending with the Pistols?
	11:54am watchpocket: ↳ Ike @11:52 Interesting, thanks. My cats may have hit some buttons as well. I need to look a bit further into it.
	11:54am Chris Hiatt: ↳ love2laf @11:51 Hey L2L, glad the visit was good. We acknowledge your WFMU swag here.
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:52 I never dream of shopping. Bad parties, yes, but shopping, NEVER!
	11:54am morphe': Thanks Joe ... out outdoor chores to do but did not/could not leave....
	11:55am TerrDE: Makes me realize how talented the Stooges were.
	11:55am paul: I've been cheated.
	11:55am Andres: So fun!!
	11:55am Ike: ↳ watchpocket @11:54 What neighborhood are you in, just out of curiosity?
	11:55am Handy Haversack: See you next Saturday, Michael Shelley!
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great weeek!
	11:55am TerrDE: Thanks, Joe. Great show.

	11:56am paul: TY, Joe.
	11:56am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you for the musical adventure, Joe.
	11:56am love2laf: Thanks Joe, it was the perfect way to start my week. From gentle flutes to this punky fest! Good to be back amongst you wall. @Chris, glad you like my bucket hat, or at least acknowledge it.
	👻 11:56am DanielMac Listener 272753: I always thought that was Morrissey!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What I found out : When a Song is 'simple' - that's when you gotta really Bring It ...or - whata ya got ? Nuthin'.
	11:56am listener 126464: Thanks, Joe McG.
	11:56am Triple G: Thanks Joe!

	11:57am Dean: I almost attended Winterland, but didn't want to drive north from LA.
	11:57am Franco Twinkie: My fist was in the air the whole time(not really) Thanks Joe.
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks, Mr. Joe!

	9:09am Joe McG: ↳ Will @9:06 This is your morning! :)
	9:10am Joe McG: Lourds and ladies, welcome to this morning's programme.
	9:10am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Chris Hiatt @9:07 I'd fly in for that. Wassail! Wassail!
	9:11am Chief Guy: You do us great honor, Lord Joe.
	9:12am Joe McG: Some background on the inspiration for this suite: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:12am clarke: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" this is great! however, i like what some have done to longer works, on the youtube, by making segments of longer works available.
	9:13am PaulRobeson1923: Morningggggggg
	9:15am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @9:12 there was a decent BBC series about the roman occupation of england, but i can't recall the name of it. at this juncture.
	9:15am listener 126464: Good day, ye all.
	👻 9:15am 2/3 of the Perrin Family: good morning all.
	👻 9:16am Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" Imma crank this up for the 9:30 staff meeting.
	👻 9:16am DjLorraine: It's safe to surface with Joe at the turntables. Ello fellow umans. 💕

	9:18am G: Up since 5:25 CT. Mucho online work to get to today. Thanks for the calming set...
	9:19am Joe McG: Alas, here in JC, the sun isn't breaking through the clouds, but we can imagine it shining over the cathedral, can't we?
	9:19am morphe': Sweet opening ....
	9:19am northguineahills: ↳ Joe McG @9:12 thanks, joe!
	9:20am clarke: ↳ G @9:18 the cathedral set is gnashing teeth.
	9:20am iamstiv: Good morrow, goodmen and goodwives
	👻 9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" In my mind, I'm picturing cartoon character Martin Prince dancing along to this. Then Nelson Muntz punches him in the stomach.
	9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @9:15 Are you thinking of Britannia? That show was nuts! Great to see Mackenize Crook get a chance to chew the scenery.
	👻 9:21am Webhamster Henry: Krummhorn alert!
	👻 9:21am Charles in Chicago: Our cat seems to be really enjoying this music.
	9:21am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 i think that is the one, but there is another series about the celts, too. i gets confuse.
	9:22am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:21 That's quite nice! :)
	9:24am Dean: Well, of course, from Amazing Blondel to Gryphon.
	9:24am clarke: a to b.
	9:24am PNX: Does anyone know if there is a URL that will take you to the playlist page of whatever show is currently on air?
	👻 9:25am Webhamster Henry: AND OH HOW THEY DANCED!
	👻 9:25am Gregolomania: Hoping Sir Robin's Minstrel is up next.
	👻 9:25am Hughie Considine: The little children of Stonehenge
	👻 9:25am Hughie Considine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:25 you beat me to it by THAT MUCH
	9:25am bobob plasticland: Red Queen
	9:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:25 in danger of being trampled.
	👻 9:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @9:25 There you go, putting the evil in medieval again...
	9:26am clarke: it's what we do.
	9:27am bobob plasticland: I have a radio show WREK called Stonehenge Ga tech 91 ... Fridays
	👻 9:27am Marley P. Dogg: This song is a jammer!
	9:27am Dean: The astonishing Richard Harvey on recorder. Saw him at Wigmore Hall in London long ago.
	9:27am Edgar from Maine: Dead Can Dance did some cool interpretations of medieval music.
	9:28am tak: hey I saw this band a few years ago! it was wild!
	9:28am bobob plasticland: had this lp back in the 70s I believe
	9:28am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @9:27 Total shredder.
	9:28am tak: they were all dressed like wizards
	9:28am dale: dang. i always mention amazing blondel to deejays here as a 'nudge nudge' and when they are finally played i missed it.
	9:29am G: ↳ clarke @9:20 They probably do that a lot.
	👻 9:29am Hughie Considine: This might sound lowbrow, but "Safety Dance" would work in this set.
	9:29am Will: More crumhorn!
	9:30am clarke: ↳ G @9:29 i wish we could have swept the sox - don't tell EFD!!
	9:30am bobobob Fabtriplasticland: men w/0 dix
	9:30am MKT in Inwood: Was thinking of the performance in Agamemnon’s (?) palace from Time Bandits
	9:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:29 not a highbrow.
	9:31am BillfromRockTavern: Saw Gryphon open up for ELP or someone like that at MSG way way back .
	9:31am Dean: The connection between Re-Flex and this set is tighter than one might think. Paul Fishman led a one-LP group, Absolute Elsewhere, that featured Bill Bruford on drums. It was decent spacey synth-prog from the time that spawned Gryphon. Fishman left to form Re-Flex.
	9:33am tak: re: gryphon: they reunited because they found a fan website that was made some time in the 90s by a portuguese fan, and they came to Pt to play two shows in the same festival. Very Nice old men
	9:33am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:31 was this before bruford was in Yes?
	9:33am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Digging this Marshall Tucker Chamber Orchestra. Flaut on.
	9:34am Dean: After Bruford was in Yes. '76? He was doing a bit of session work, e.g., Roy Harper, Absolute Elsewhere.
	9:34am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @9:33 Didn't quite fit the period, but it has David Munrow on it, the king of the medieval sound!
	9:34am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:34 righto. danke.
	👻 9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ PNX @9:24 There really should be, but it looks like the "playlist and comments" link on the main page invokes some Javascript, so it's not a simple URL
	9:36am Dean: Munrow lived only six more years. Hanged himself.
	9:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ tak @9:33 I found their Red Queen to Gryphon Three LP on the street a couple years back.
	9:37am G: ↳ clarke @9:30 Win every series. 2 of every 3 games is 108 wins, a killer record. The Orioles will be over 100 by the end. A 7-2 road trip with six late games on the west coast and two rain marathons at Fenway is fine. Gotta crush the Cards now.
	9:37am Joe McG: ↳ Dean @9:36 Sad!
	9:37am morphe': Pleasant Delites ... to misquote someone "... the gods doth toy with us like boys pulling wings off butterflies..."
	9:37am G: ↳ clarke @9:33 Bruford's first band was Yes. He left in 72-73.
	9:37am clarke: ↳ G @9:37 oh yeah, but a sweep would always be nice - like this week!
	9:38am Dean: Bruford played briefly with Savoy Brown before Yes!
	9:38am clarke: ↳ Dean @9:38 and apparently was in a beat band before Savoy
	9:38am Son Of Pantz: This whole set is reminding me of the original Wicker Man. What a great and spooky flick.
	9:39am Mike W.: Having some difficulty explaining this episode of Surface Noise to my elderly mom
	9:39am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In You Dwells the Light Which Never Sets" by "Joz... josef van wissem! I love this album!
	9:40am Joe McG: ↳ Mike W. @9:39 "Dudes with lutes"?
	9:41am G: ↳ clarke @9:37 Maybe sweep the Cards. TB is tough, the Mariners totally wilted against them this past weekend. But all we need to do to come out on top of TB is win one game of four later this week. A split would be good, 2-2. Maybe even 3-1, who knows. Gotta play the games on the field, not on paper!
	9:41am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	👻 9:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @9:40 I think that was the original name of Men Without Hats.
	9:41am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:38 It's getting to be spooky flick season, so I'll put that one on my list.
	9:41am clarke: chicks with flutes?
	9:42am chris_in_space: This show is the best thing about Monday mornings. Good to be here!
	9:42am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Joe McG @9:34 I love David Munrow!
	9:42am clarke: ↳ G @9:41 right you are!!
	9:43am Joe McG: ↳ chris_in_space @9:42 Aw, shucks!
	👻 9:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Don't Send Me Away" by "The Verlaines" Aw, now this is perfect, and it's a McGasko fave.
	👻 9:44am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: Here's a twist. I'm sitting in on a meeting, but following the accuplay chat.
	9:44am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Send Me Away" by "The Verlaines" charming!
	9:44am G: ↳ Dean @9:38 We can count this as part of his pro career or not, I guess haha, at age 18-19. -- Wiki: "In January 1968, he unsuccessfully auditioned for a place in Savoy Brown at a pub in Battersea, but he "hung around until the end and told them they had the wrong guy ... I talked my way into it". His tenure only lasted three gigs because he "messed with the beat", and followed this with a brief stint in the psychedelic rock band Paper Blitz Tissue. Bruford then spotted an ad in a music shop from The Noise, who were looking for a drummer to play with them for a six-week residency at the Piper Club in Rome, Italy. He remembered the experience as "ghastly", felt his bandmates could not play properly, and had to hitchhike back to London with his kit." He then placed an ad in Melody Maker, which Jon Anderson saw.
	9:45am dale: ray thomas!
	9:45am Brian in garden: ↳ Dean @9:38 His son played drums with Infidels.
	9:45am queems: i love this song 😭
	9:46am Dean: Bruford's autobiography is a good read. His dissertation, maybe not so much.
	9:46am dale: seventh sojourn, the only album where justin hayward didn't have the hits.
	9:46am G: ↳ Dean @9:46 I've read both. Not a dumb guy.
	9:46am TDK60: ↳ queems @9:45 Morning Joe! Surfacers. Queems! It's the Moodies.
	9:46am chresti: Mike W, how old is “elderly?”
	9:47am queems: howdy tdk!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ☽Monday FMUvianz~ ...it had to happen. JoeMcG finally got fed up with our crap ...& went Medieval on our heinies...
	9:48am Brian in garden: ↳ Song: "For My Lady" by "The Moody Blues" Is this Ray Thomas singing?
	9:48am clarke: and now he's going for baroque!!
	9:49am dale: isn't life strange?
	9:49am Dean: If you want to "go Medieval," you could do worse than start with the box sets by the Clemencic Consort, Troubadours and Carmina Burana. Tons of great music.
	9:49am Son Of Pantz: ↳ clarke @9:48 If it ain't Baroque don't fix it.
	9:50am Dean: Anything by Sequentia, too.
	9:50am clarke: ahhh, bach!!
	9:52am Chris Hiatt: I dunno if it was real easy, those theorbo parts sounded pretty challenging.
	9:52am TerrDE: Joe, we hold you in higher regard than Queen Victoria; so feel free to be WE.
	👻 9:54am Webhamster Henry: Here's a little satirical tune from the late '50s about the Pro Musica Antiqua jhhl.net...
	9:54am dale: ↳ Song: "Fantasia Lindum" by "Amazing Blondel" 'england' is a fantastic album, too.
	9:54am JeremyB: I've always wondered why most of the DJs back announce going backwards. There must be a reason... I always think starting with the beginning of the set you kind of get the transitions
	👻 9:56am Charles in Chicago: ↳ JeremyB @9:54 It seems pretty natural to say what just ended. Then you have a choice whether to keep going backwards or to jump to the beginning.
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ JeremyB @9:54 I think because before playlists, people would count the songs from one they particularly liked till the mic break, so going backward lets listeners figure out which song they wanted to note. Creamo back-announces from the top of his sets. I think Michele does sometimes?
	9:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Le galant indiscret" by "Malicorne" Thanks for playing Malicorne, one of my absolute faves!
	9:58am Dean: Michaela Petri is another virtuoso recorder player. She now runs her own label and plays music of all ages. And Marion Verbruggen, whose traversal of selections from Van Eyck's Der Fluten Lust-Hof is pretty spectacular.
	👻 9:58am Charles in Chicago: Sting lute album sounds like a joke but apparently it's real
	👻 9:59am Charles in Chicago: (I guess if you wait long enough, everything happens)
	9:59am JeremyB: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:57 That makes sense. If you're listening in the car you may not have heard the whole set either so going backwards would be more helpful
	10:00am Noir Lover: Some great Turkish music that features lute.
	10:00am The Oscar: As someone who has only vaguely followed Sting's career, I am disappointed to learn that his lute album and his collaboration with Shaggy are two different records.
	10:00am clarke: uhh, that first hour went pretty dang fast...
	10:01am Joe McG: ↳ The Oscar @10:00 Ha ha!
	10:02am clarke: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" there are some great songs on this album, but this is not one of the ones i would choose.
	10:02am Fishtown Mike: Sting also did a sea shanty album. Both that album & the his lute playing madrigal signing bard album are a running joke in our house. There were two separate Sunday Morning profiles of both his cosplay adventures. Probably on the youtubes somewhere.
	10:03am Edgar from Maine: ↳ clarke @10:02 I really like Blue Over Blue.
	10:03am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @9:58 Definitely going to check out her work. Have you heard the Bach flute sonata album she did (on recorder) with Keith Jarrett on harpsichord?!
	10:03am Joe McG: ↳ Fishtown Mike @10:02 Wow, a sea shanty album! I'm starting to think I need to find out what Sting has been up to besides making wine.
	10:03am morphe': ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" Is this really 2023 or a re-release ... has a truly 60s sound = as in recording technique? Is it full on recording, not tracked?
	10:03am clarke: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:03 and, i like this one, but not the too many 'beats' parts.
	10:04am clarke: you don't wanna have too many beats.
	10:05am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:03 Sting's other pursuit or another ... NYC real estate [and other locals]...
	10:06am Edgar from Maine: Sea shanties are awful unless you're manual labor on an old boat and have no other choice.
	10:07am Dean: Yes, Chris. Jarrett's classical work is top-notch. His Shostakovich 48 is one of the best.
	10:07am Dean: Sting used to be in a rock band, too.
	10:07am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:06 Agreed. There isn't enough grog in the world to make me listen to a sea shanty.
	10:08am Joe McG: ↳ morphe' @10:05 I didn't know he was also a real estate mogul. He should open a lute spot.
	10:08am Dean: Sting plays for loot.
	10:10am Bob Barth: Good morning Joe! Hey everybody!
	10:10am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:08 I befriended a Lute Maker in Madrid whose workshop was the storefront in the building in which I was living, but he lost his biz in the pandemic ... it was already gone hand to mouth for a long time ...
	10:10am Dean: I'm a big fan of Dowland. Can't stomach the thought of Gordon Sumner man-handling such beautiful music. Paul O'Dette has a nice complete Dowland lute works (no vocals): https://archive.org/details/PaulODette-Dowland_CompleteLuteWorksVolumes1-5
	👻 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: With the abundance of flute this morning, I'm anticipating a Tull-centric Jim Price show this afternoon.
	10:11am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:07 I think they're fun to sing. Was in a band with an acoustic guitarist who broke a lot of strings, we worked up a bunch of shanties to sing while he got his axe back in action.
	10:12am wendy del formaggio: I’ve always loved this Thievery Corp remix. Thanks, Joe!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:11 they all are tull-centric, aren't they?
	10:12am Joe McG: ↳ morphe' @10:10 Must be tough to be a lute repairman in 2023.
	10:13am Rich in Bristol: Hope everyone's having a good am/pm!
	10:13am JeremyB: Listening to this, I was sorta hearing Brazilian Girls Sabina Sciubba- She was definitely influenced but Astrud I would think
	10:13am morphe': ↳ Joe McG @10:08 https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/sting-buys-another-robert-a-m-stern-designed-new-york-city-apartment-for-65-7m-205908 https://nypost.com/2022/06/09/stings-former-nyc-duplex-listing-for-18-95-million/
	10:14am Brian in garden: ↳ Joe McG @10:12 Not as bad as a Theremin tuner.
	10:14am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Dance with Me" by "Nouvelle Vague" Great tentacles of Cthulhu ... this sounds like CocoRosie.
	10:14am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:13 i may have asked this before, rich, but have you heard of a band from bristol called Z+ (or zed plus)??
	10:15am Brian in garden: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:13 Sun has just come out here in South Shropshire.
	👻 10:22am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Black and White Badge" by "Sally Potter" Fred Frith on guitar and bass!
	10:24am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:22 Yes, and produced, I think!
	👻 10:24am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Black and White Badge" by "Sally Potter" kinda Fallout-y
	👻 10:28am egould: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" Good morning, Joe McG. I’ve been dozing in and out, listening to the show. Been loving the music selections so far. Now I’m awake. Let’s do ‘Single File’.
	10:29am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Brian in garden @10:15 Lovely! Sun's out here now, too.
	👻 10:29am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" Honestly that remake sounds a lot like the 1981 version to me, at least as I remember it, haven't heard that record in a long time
	10:29am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @10:14 I don't think I have, no. Any song recommendations?
	10:30am clarke: Z+ is, by FAR, my favoritest bandcamp "discovery" - some bedsit kids in a housing-project in Bristol. but, they disappeared, kinda. don't answer any queries, etc.
	10:30am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @10:29 their whole 'album' is fantastic - very mellow, but great.
	10:31am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "This Sporting Life" by "Mekons" The Mekons were the last band I had a crush on. After that, never again.
	10:31am LCBD: "Good gravy" - I love it! My mom used to say that!
	10:32am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" Sam Cooke is one of a handful of artists who I can think of no legitimate reason to dislike.
	👻 10:32am Marley P. Dogg: Haha - I can’t hear this song and not think of the cafeteria scene in Animal House
	👻 10:32am egould: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" John Belushi going through the cafeteria line…
	👻 10:32am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" Man, I love Sam Cooke
	10:32am desi: mornin wow I was just transported back to my grandparents victrola spinnin this classic tune TY
	10:33am Philip: Great song.
	10:33am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Wonderful World" by "Sam Cooke" I feel seen.
	10:35am Mike Sin: Been able to catch most of the show live today. Glad you're still on the new schedule!
	10:36am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:35 Thanks, Mike!
	10:37am Marie in Queens: Hello Joe and All, greatly enjoying the show. I was thinking a good nickname for ya, Joe, might be WFMU's Gentle Giant (of Monday Mornings)
	👻 10:38am DanielMac Listener 272753: ↳ Marie in Queens @10:37 That's a good one Marie!
	10:38am clarke: ↳ Song: "Que Reste-t-il (Where Do You Go)" by "Petula Clark" oui!!
	10:39am Joe McG: ↳ Marie in Queens @10:37 Unfortunately I'm only 5' 11"! :)
	10:41am Philip: Hank Snow! yah
	10:42am listener annie: what joy this is!!!
	10:42am Marie in Queens: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:38 Thanks!
	10:43am Marie in Queens: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 Hee hee hee. You know what I mean!
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 As the Incredible Shrinking Man said "To some people I might be tiny but to some others I might be a giant"
	👻 10:43am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" Can I just say how underrated I think the Kinks are?
	10:44am Edgar from Maine: They are rocking the synths here.
	10:45am Dean: Good early Kinks retrospective two Saturdays back on Bob Brainen's show: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/130734
	10:46am Rich from Wading River: Had this album on 8-track. A childhood favorite.
	10:46am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @10:43 I like that!
	10:46am morphe': ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" Did not realize the Kinks were still up and running in '79 or re-issue?? Oil crisis mentioned so '79..
	10:47am Jack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:43 I absolutely agree! This is one of my most consistant rants...
	10:47am Dean: They were definitely producing music in the late '70s.
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @10:46 That was a radio hit, from their album "Low Budget", I remember hearing it a lot when I was in HS
	10:48am Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" by "Scritt... Scritti Politti O M G
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:43 The Kinks have never been underrated on this Station. Poor organisation when they first toured the USA did them no favours.
	10:48am Kat in the chat: ❤️❤️❤️ for Scritti
	👻 10:48am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @10:46 (there was an oil crisis in '73 then another in '79.)
	10:49am Katharsis: Hellos all
	10:49am Jack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:48 I saw them at the Fillmore in '69 and they were so drunk it was embarrasing.
	👻 10:51am Brian in UK: ↳ Jack @10:49 They did themselves no favours. Fighting on stage is never a pathway to stardom. (You may see stars though!!)
	10:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:48 Julie's Dark Night of the Soul show (now) on the Drummer Stream certainly keeps the Kinks love alive.
	10:52am Dean: Oasis, Replacements...never?
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Hang-Ups" by "Bobby Hatfield" Want to hear '....Lovin' Feeling' now.
	10:52am Jack: ↳ Jack @10:49 they had to start "You Really Got Me" three times, and even then it wasn't right.
	10:53am Joe McG: The Kinks are actually one of my all-time favorite bands. I'm acutely conscious of overplaying them so I end up underplaying them. (DJ Hang-Up)
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 Is there a more evocative song than Waterloo Sunset? Well, sure there are but it is up there.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funny. That's what TheWho said about themselves : TheBeatles' PR was they were too happy to have fights - the Stones' that they were too kewl - those sorts were (in Daltrey's words) like the Centerfold you could never touch. Whereas TheWho were fighting right on stage...
	👻 10:56am tadpoles: ↳ morphe' @10:46 Well into the '80's...the magnificent "Come Dancing" from '82 and Ray Davies wrote the great "Quiet Life" for "Absolute Beginners" from '86 which I still think of as the Kinks. Cheers
	👻 10:57am chresti: ↳ Song: "Trudi's Song" by "Mott the Hoople" Sounded like he was saying Dolly Parton
	10:57am listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Hang-Ups" by "Bobby Hatfield" Your call is not important to us.
	👻 10:57am Hughie Considine: In Andrew Hickey's excellent podcast, 500 Songs, he makes a strong argument that Ray Davies's wife Rasa contributed much more to the songwriting than she's given credit for. He also makes a strong argument that Ray and Dave's surname is pronounced Davis. I learned a lot.
	10:58am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Ah, this!
	10:58am Jack: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 joe, I don't think you could overplay the Kinks. Go on! I dare you!!
	10:58am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Hell yeah! Love this cover, love Freakwater.
	10:58am Clincher16": ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Hard Country!
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♍︎Virgo, Year of Earth 🐀Rat John Martyn (born Iain David McGeachy) 11 September 1948 – 29 January 2009
	10:58am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" Oh man, I love this.
	👻 10:59am DanielMac Listener 272753: I wonder how you came about this 45 Joe...did the name and title just pique your interest?
	10:59am Joe McG: ↳ Jack @10:58 So many people at FMU already do this regularly that I'd have to find a new angle to make it exciting.
	10:59am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:57 It is correctly pronounced "Davis", according to my former next-door neighbor. She knew them but I have no idea how.
	11:00am Joe McG: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:59 I think the Cardigans made me open to Black Sabbath covers in other styles!
	11:00am Jack: ↳ Joe McG @10:59 I think a good challenge would be to play "The Worst of The Kinks"...?
	👻 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "Freakwater" A little more work and they could have themselves a church hymn version of this.
	11:01am Clincher16": ↳ Jack @11:00 He just played one earlier in this set.
	11:01am drr: ↳ Jack @11:00 In college I would have said "Harry Rag" but now I'm okay with it.
	11:01am Joe McG: ↳ Jack @11:00 Not a bad idea! Make some enemies!
	👻 11:02am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @10:59 It's a hard habit to break! Like if you suddenly found out you were saying "Mick Jagger" incorrectly.
	11:03am Asheville Jon: YES, EAS TEST! love these!
	11:03am Franco Twinkie: Okay, time to go get a cookie.
	👻 11:03am Gregolomania: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 Always fun to Play the Cardigan's Iron Man for Sabbath heads. Reactions from bemusement to convulsions.
	👻 11:03am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @11:01 "Art Lover" doesn't sound so good these days.
	11:03am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:03 As part of Single File, FTW.
	11:04am Brendan: Copy that. Loud & clear.
	👻 11:04am chresti: ✅EAS
	11:05am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:03 Thank you! I was thinking of that -- The Kinks' "Aqualung"-- but couldn't remember the title. I was mixing it up the The Butterfly Collector by The Jam, too.
	11:05am TerrDE: Is there a reason the EBS can't be tested at 3AM ? Or must it annoy the most folks possible ?
	11:06am drr: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 When they used to do proper tests with the explanation of how and why it was being done, it was rather comforting.
	👻 11:07am Gregolomania: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 Beats Duck & Cover drills.
	👻 11:07am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by "The Kinks" "A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees"
	👻 11:07am Karl: Where do you go? Where do you go now?
	11:10am TerrDE: Speaking of Sonny... How did a Freak child molester get elected to congress as a Republican ?
	👻 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 The cable TV EAS tests seem to come along at the end of a close sprots event or the moment the detective is about to solve the case. Never seem to happen when a long commercial break is going on.
	11:12am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.
	👻 11:13am DanielMac Listener 272753: Yes! Thank goodness Joe!! Hopefully for many Springs...and through many Falls!!
	11:13am chris_in_space: So glad you're still here in this Monday slot for the new schedule, Joe.
	👻 11:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:10 you can't interrupt the commercials, that would peeve the advertisers!
	👻 11:14am Webhamster Henry: Yes the Theremin workshop is sold out!
	👻 11:14am DanielMac Listener 272753: I'm going to miss Double Dip Recess :*(
	👻 11:15am Gregolomania: ↳ TerrDE @11:10 Probably started with this... www.bing.com...
	👻 11:15am Charles in Chicago: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 Moving to Sheena's
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 You know it's moving to the Sheena stream? Same time, just one stream over.
	👻 11:15am Webhamster Henry: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @11:14 DDR will be on the Sheena Jungle Stream in its usual timeslot. Or, Transpacific SOund PAridise is not a bad show to hear on a Saturday morning!
	👻 11:16am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Yeah, I'm pretty psyched to hear Weisberg on Saturday mornings
	11:16am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "God Save the Queen" by "The Bollock Brothers" "I mean it, MAN!"
	👻 11:16am Webhamster Henry: TSP may also occasionally give you some Vocal Fry while that show is off the schedule..
	11:17am The Oscar: I can get used to DDR in the Jungle Room, but not hearing TPSP over dinner will be surreal!
	11:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:16 Definitely going to be missing VF.
	👻 11:18am DanielMac Listener 272753: Thanks so much for the info Guys!
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" I love this!
	11:18am Rich in Bristol: Lovely covers, these!
	11:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" K8 did an a capella version of this for the soundtrack to a play she wrote.
	11:19am morphe': Wow- thematic cover set !!!! or 2 so far !!!
	11:19am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" Everything was turned into a dance track, wasn't it?
	11:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:18 Of "God Save the Queen."
	11:20am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Medley" by "Black Arabs" The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle was one of the films I would always look for in video stores in high school, but NO ONE carried it anywhere near me out in the sticks. (Eraserhead was the other big one).
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:17 Fortunately there are lots of archives, and a few more fries on the long-gone Secret Museum of the Air show and the aforementioned TSP.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 I still have dreams of finding some crazy out-of-the-way video rental store with every movie I could possibly want.
	👻 11:22am Gregolomania: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 Eraserhead was tough to get for the longest time. I wound up with a copy with Korean subtitles.
	👻 11:22am Charles in Chicago: Punksploitation indeed
	👻 11:23am Charles in Chicago: (but I would have spelled it Punxploitation)
	11:24am Listener Scott: I guess Meco was too busy living large on his Star Wars royalties to cut a Sex Pistols track.
	11:24am Franco Twinkie: ↳ The Oscar @11:20 I went to the premier of The Great Rock 'N Roll Swindle in L.A. Believe me when I say it was as good as going to a rowdy club and seen a live band tearing the place to shreds.
	👻 11:24am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 There's one remaining Blockbuster in Bend, OR
	11:25am The Oscar: ↳ Gregolomania @11:22 Same!! I still have that old boot even though I've got the blu-ray now-- that tape was a totem of my youth.
	11:30am The Oscar: Nigel Planer from the Young Ones did a comedy record which included a lounge version of "God Save the Queen."
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Anarchy in the U.K." by "Frazier Chorus" Dur, no this is what K8 did the a capella version of. Too bad she's missing this set.
	11:32am Rich in Washington: ↳ Gregolomania @11:22 If I recall, it seemed like I had a pay a large-ish deposit to rent Eraserhead when I finally found a copy at a local store. Naturally, I ran copies for myself and my friends.
	11:32am Micheal: Poor Bill Grundy. Thanks for a fantastic show, Joe!
	👻 11:32am Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Anarchy in the U.K." by "Frazier Chorus" This is surprisingly pretty.
	11:33am The Oscar: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:32 Exactly what I did when I finally found a store with Urgh! A Music War!
	11:33am Rich in Washington: Bill Grundy had a weird spoken word bit on a Fall album.
	11:34am Son Of Pantz: Are we gonna hear the Megadeath cover, @JoeMcG?
	11:34am Rich in Washington: ↳ The Oscar @11:33 Yeah, that and the We’re All Devo VHS release.
	11:35am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:34 No, but maybe Sheila B. will play it on her next fill-in! ;)
	11:36am Rich in Washington: I think I still have Urgh! on VHS in deep storage. Apparently, subsequent DVD reissues of that movie omit certain song segments.
	11:36am morphe': Never Mind the Bollocks .... He's the McGasko !!!!
	11:37am Franco Twinkie: My favorite not The Sex Pistols /Sex Pistols will always be Who Killed Bambi by Ten Pole Tudor. His performance in TGR&RS vacuuming the carpet in a movie theater perfectly captures that feeling of missing a great show because you had to go to work.
	11:37am Planet Tyler: This is fun
	11:38am Dean: Paul Jones, "Pretty Vacant"
	11:38am The Oscar: Roger Ebert wrote a great piece once about when Malcolm flew him and Russ Meyer to London to pitch them on a Sex Pistols movie. It imploded, of course, but can you imagine...
	11:39am Brendan: Beautiful
	11:40am Strandlund: What a set!!! Thanks Joe!! FANTASTIC!!
	11:40am morphe': ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 Who Killed Bambi by Ten Pole Tudor. checking that at after Joe and the next Joe...
	11:40am Joe B: Joe, sorry forgot to stop downstairs - i'm in studio b today
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Great underappreciated band -- killer cover! They also do a great cover of the Eurythmics' "I Need You"
	11:41am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Wow! This is gorgeous!
	11:41am Andres: 🔥🔥🔥
	👻 11:42am egould: ↳ Song: "Public Image" by "Scrawl" Forgot about this. Need more Scrawl in my life.
	11:42am Crownless Gander: Good bawee!
	11:42am Joe McG: ↳ Joe B @11:40 No worries, Joe, I'll pot you up!
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:36 I went to Urgh the night The Cramps, X, DK's and Chrome played. I was sick and came to the realization I had been going to punk shows too long and needed a break. I never did take a break, but it felt different after that.
	11:43am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" A friend of a friend thought the lyric was, "I'm inside of Leontyne Price!"
	11:44am love2laf: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" Thank you Joe, Nouvelle Vague X2 has been a wonderful way to start my first day back from vacay. Hello accu friends, hope you've all had a great week, and an excellent morning.

	11:46am ?: Great interesting show today Joe !
	11:46am Joe B: ↳ Joe McG @11:42 ok will have bed music rolling thanks!
	11:47am Barefoot Jimmy G: Celibate Rifles! I see what you did there!
	11:47am rx "rexy" scabin: @love2laf how was your vacation?
	👻 11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Back in the Red" by "The Celibate Rifles" Celibate Rifles are here because their name is a play on Sex Pistols. haha!
	11:48am watchpocket: Quick question for the group: Is everyone but me getting strong signals on 91.1 and 91.9 the last few days?
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ watchpocket @11:48 I haven't noticed a change in 91.1 on the bathroom boombox lately.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ever get the feeling you've been depleted...
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Joe, been out walking the dog. Is this set due to PiL's new album. John Lydon interview here. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:50am Dean: Avengers still touring and playing.
	11:50am Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "No Fun" by "The Sex Pistols" Such a great sound and energy. Johnny Lydon always brings it
	11:51am love2laf: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:47 It was a great visit with my sister, but I am sad to say I did not get a single knowing nod wearing WFMU swag. Erin traveled in the carrier like a champ, and almost made friends with my sister's Rotti. @Handy it's good to be back, but how can you miss WFMU family if you never go away.
	11:51am watchpocket: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 Thanks, could be my radio and/or antenna screwing up, or new interference. Very odd, though.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...must be me ...where's the Bass ...harhar...
	11:51am Franco Twinkie: There's a shopping center where Winterland use to be.
	👻 11:52am egould: Gee whiz, Joe McG! You put together quite an entertaining show today. You’re a pretty decent DJ.
	11:52am Joe McG: Well, anyway, no one can say I never play punk rock on this show.
	11:52am Dean: Why do I have the feeling I've been cheated?
	👻 11:52am PeterD: Awesome set.
	👻 11:52am tadpoles: Great morning's music Joe...and thanks for playing the TVPs. Cheers.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:51 ...your future dream...
	11:52am morphe': ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Love Song" by "Nouvelle Vague" VAGUE was an intelligent Post-Situationist Journal that analyzed a lot of stuff, including McLaren and the Pistols and ... ps. Greil Marcus' "Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century" is a great read
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: You've earned your safety pin today, Mr. DJ.
	11:52am Marie in Queens: ↳ Joe McG @11:52 true dat!
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: The testicle references was quite gratutitous.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks for going on this submarine mission for us, Joe! Great show, top to bottom.
	11:52am Ike: ↳ watchpocket @11:48 91.1 and 91.9 don't seem different than usual at my apt. in Sunset Park, Bklyn. Though when I was in a car recently, I did notice SUPER overdriven fuzz coming from a 90.9 pirate (in Flatbush... I think?) causing some 91.1 trouble, but they're only on the air at night. I mean, the pirates are often overdriven or overmodulated or whatever, but this was NUTS.
	👻 11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Brian in UK @11:52 definitely below the belt
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ike @11:52 ...so ...the Pirates are - Great Fun ??...
	11:54am Bob Barth: That was quite fun Joe! Thank you.
	11:54am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @11:52 What's more punk than starting a show with Gothic and ending with the Pistols?
	11:54am watchpocket: ↳ Ike @11:52 Interesting, thanks. My cats may have hit some buttons as well. I need to look a bit further into it.
	11:54am Chris Hiatt: ↳ love2laf @11:51 Hey L2L, glad the visit was good. We acknowledge your WFMU swag here.
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:52 I never dream of shopping. Bad parties, yes, but shopping, NEVER!
	11:54am morphe': Thanks Joe ... out outdoor chores to do but did not/could not leave....
	11:55am TerrDE: Makes me realize how talented the Stooges were.
	11:55am paul: I've been cheated.
	11:55am Andres: So fun!!
	11:55am Ike: ↳ watchpocket @11:54 What neighborhood are you in, just out of curiosity?
	11:55am Handy Haversack: See you next Saturday, Michael Shelley!

	11:56am love2laf: Thanks Joe, it was the perfect way to start my week. From gentle flutes to this punky fest! Good to be back amongst you wall. @Chris, glad you like my bucket hat, or at least acknowledge it.
	👻 11:56am DanielMac Listener 272753: I always thought that was Morrissey!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What I found out : When a Song is 'simple' - that's when you gotta really Bring It ...or - whata ya got ? Nuthin'.
	11:56am listener 126464: Thanks, Joe McG.
	11:56am Triple G: Thanks Joe!
