	3:15pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Otis" by "The Durutti Column" The first note dropped and I actually gasped. This is just one of those tracks. ❤️

	3:25pm ice cream man: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @3:24 you rang?
	👻 3:26pm winston legthigh: this is a jazz like substance.
	👻 3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Terms of service > Terms of endearment
	👻 3:29pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ @3:21 Thank you.
	👻 3:31pm winston legthigh: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @3:24 rectum!

	3:33pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ winston legthigh @3:31 HUMAN!
	3:33pm ?: Info on The Wendy Award https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/the-wendy-award/
	3:33pm PaulRobeson1924: HAMUN!
	3:34pm Phillippe: Pretty bad when your signed first editions wind up on the remainder table
	3:39pm ?: period.....
	👻 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Browses Books" by "Gus Bodenheim" Wow. Avant-garde new wave literature from back in the 18th century!
	👻 3:40pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Browses Books" by "Gus Bodenheim" That Dexter guy was way ahead of his time. As Gus is ahead of his.
	3:41pm KWilde: !!
	👻 3:43pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Phillippe @3:34 Pretty much the plot of Peter DeVries' "Peckham's Marbles". Abysimally low selling, high-brow author goes on an odyssey to sign the three copies of his book that actually sold so they can't be returned. Hilarity ensures.
	3:44pm Irwin: ↳ KWilde @3:41 That's quite exclamatory, KW.
	3:45pm fred: ↳ Phillippe @3:34 Canadian author Robertson Davies would go in bookstores to check the price of first editions of his books, and complain if they were not expensive enough
	3:45pm hifivicky: I love this song!!
	3:46pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Rainbow" by "Twentieth Century Zoo" The ld gtr in this song is mixed WAY up front.
	3:47pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:46 Great playing anyway. Two guitars, not sure if one is overdubbed.
	3:49pm rsj: is that jimi hendrix?
	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ rsj @3:49 Yes, unmistakably.
	👻 3:51pm DjLorraine: This is better than wanting to hear Rainbow power.
	3:52pm Kitschy Mama: ↳ Song: "Robot" by "Ansambl Mileta Petrovića" love this rhythm.
	3:52pm Ike: Since Irwin loves the U.S. Postal Service — we just missed their National Dog Bite Awareness Campaign! Did you know the USPS released their Dog Bite National Rankings? Pop quiz, people! Which city has the most dog bites?
	3:54pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @3:52 How many guesses?
	👻 3:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ike @3:52 I'm guessing Houston, TX.
	3:55pm Ike: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:54 That’s an amazing guess! They’re #2!
	3:56pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @3:54 I’ll give you the standard 3.
	3:56pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @3:56 NYC? Atlanta?
	👻 3:56pm Dan S: ↳ Ike @3:52 More people, more dogs, so I'll guess NYC.
	👻 3:57pm winston legthigh: los angeles
	3:57pm Irwin: ↳ winston legthigh @3:57 Gotta be.
	👻 3:58pm Dan S: If it's Jersey City, I'll hold WFMU responsible.
	3:58pm ?: Whitesville, W Va. but they called it a draw as their postal carriers bit each dog back
	4:00pm dro: wife says Philadelphia, Houston or Tampa. I’m gonna say Detroit
	4:00pm ?: Mo doggies, mo problems
	👻 4:00pm rrg: I looked up the Dog Bite rankings. Is that cheating? Probably. I'll wait for Ike's report.
	👻 4:02pm winston legthigh: that's not my dog.
	👻 4:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Once bitten, twice shy.
	4:04pm yippie: los angeles could win the subcategory for most mailmen bitten by police dogs
	👻 4:07pm winston legthigh: gus will right the ship.
	4:08pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @3:56 NYC is not even on the list! Must be the lack of front yards. Neither is Atlanta, no idea why not.
	4:08pm pmcWhenever: adding to discogulator could be easier… always something
	4:09pm Ike: ↳ winston legthigh @3:57 Ding ding ding! L.A. is #1.
	4:09pm Ike: ↳ yippie @4:04 No doubt in my mind.
	👻 4:11pm Dan S: ↳ Ike @4:09 Remind me not to apply for a Letter Carrier job there.
	4:12pm Ike: ↳ dro @4:00 Detroit isn’t #1 in anything anymore. They’re #30 in dog bites. Houston is #2 and Philly is #9. I don’t see Tampa in the top 30.
	4:13pm Dean: Big Jay McNeely delivered for USPS in LA. Broke his ankle, and while on disability he started playing again in local dives. Saw him many times at Santa Fe Springs' Rim Ram.
	4:15pm ?: ↳ Ike @4:12 Gov. DeSantis has signed an Executive Order banning dogs with teeth. He sites his desire for more dental symmetry with dog owners
	👻 4:15pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ike @4:09 woot woot!
	4:15pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Pro Volunteer" by "Lame Drivers" Lame Drivers at the station last month: www.flickr.com... www.flickr.com... www.flickr.com...
	4:16pm Dean: Does DeSantis forget that most humans have canines, too?
	👻 4:17pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Mad Mission" by "Patty Griffin" This is a favorite of mine. I first heard it here.
	4:18pm ?: ↳ Dean @4:16 Is DeSantis a human? Debateable
	4:19pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:17 Rediscovered it recently. The whole album's great. Tried her other stuff, it's OK, but this album's a standout.
	4:19pm Ike: Here are the full rankings! about.usps.com...
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @4:19 Did JC make the list?
	4:20pm Dean: He's a governor, right? No requirement of humanity.
	4:21pm Dean: JC tops the man-bites-dog list.
	👻 4:21pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ike @4:19 florida can't get anything right.
	4:22pm fred: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:15 Jason once showed up in my office asking "are you fred?". I guess he saw my red WFMU messenger bag while at a conference lunch table (right outside my office)
	👻 4:22pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:19 There's also a live version on her album "A Kiss in Time" (2003).
	4:22pm Dean: Florida--Tampa Bay, to be precise--has Bern's Steakhouse. That should count for something.
	4:22pm ?: ↳ Dean @4:20 heee hee hee
	4:23pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:22 Yep. It's mediocre compared to this version.
	👻 4:24pm winston legthigh: ↳ Dean @4:22 Bern's is great, went for my birthday. did the kitchen and wine cellar tour.
	4:25pm Dean: I went a very long time ago. It was superb. And the folks who took me picked up the tab!
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:23 I don't mean to sound so dismissive of PG's other work. I've only heard a bit and nothing grabbed me, but she's an immense talent.
	4:28pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" Diggin this
	4:28pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" I liked this a lot
	4:28pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Skull and Crossbones" by "Randy California" I meant this
	4:29pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" this too actually
	4:29pm Picante Mint: ↳ Tommy in Neversink @4:28 Same here lol. Randy California is one of my favorites. <3
	4:30pm Tommy in Neversink: EFD and Irwin's shows have gotten me though that 90 degree day w no AC
	4:31pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Tommy in Neversink @4:30 Not that I like AC that much anyway
	4:31pm Ike: I’m absolutely terrible at Michele’s pinball games, no matter how much I practice.
	👻 4:31pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" Some fine Kyuss worship here.
	👻 4:31pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" nice drummin.
	4:32pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Ike @4:31 I should be good at it
	4:32pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Not in the top 30! Again, must not be enough front yards.
	👻 4:34pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" get the fuzz ® album.
	👻 4:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Ike @4:09 I loved Spirit.
	4:36pm Picante Mint: That Son of Spirit record is fantastic!
	👻 4:51pm winston legthigh: gotta run. have a good one irwin, gus, fido and all.
	4:54pm paulshrug: This song speaks to me and my interests.
	4:56pm Handy Haversack: Irwin. Irwineers. Hot out there. The dog is more of a spill right now after our excursioning.
	👻 4:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sort of Way" by "Matt Gaskins" Wow this is great. Couldn't tell if it was High Llamas or Van Dyke Parks or both but wasn't expecting this album title.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Suns in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Water 🐎Horse Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE, Beatles - born 18 June 1942, Liverpool, UK Thee Melodic Genius of Rawk Brian Douglas Wilson, Beach Boys - born June 20, 1942, Inglewood, CA Thee Harmonic Genius of Rawk
	👻 5:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Sort of Way" by "Matt Gaskins" Fantastic!
	👻 5:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I miss Muriel's Treasure.
	5:07pm Fishtown Mike: Whoa a Muriel's Treasure redux?
	👻 5:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:07 jinx
	5:08pm dave miss: ↳ Song: "Say Say (Baby My Soul's on Fire)" by "Baron" Who knew Trumps kid had talent?
	👻 5:08pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): next up: gender bias
	5:11pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Say Say (Baby My Soul's on Fire)" by "Baron" The vocal on the original (this one) is more uninhibited than on the remake. The do-over sounds tepid compared to this killer performance.
	👻 5:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:11 this is top shelf
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dave miss @5:08 ...isn't Baron the dawg of Biden that bit too many Postmen ?? ...or do they each have their own Baron..
	👻 5:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:11 So the other version--the remake--is the version you played in ~2005/Muriel's Treasure era: This Is Soca (LP)?
	5:14pm Irwin: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:13 I never aired the remake. I don't like it. It's watered-down.
	👻 5:14pm rrg: Taylor Swift, a very savvy businesswoman, has taken the "remake your old stuff" idea to a successful extreme. She's been re-recording all her earliest albums in the EXACT style of the originals, calling them "Taylor's Version", and encouraging her fans (and everyone else) to buy and play only the new ones.
	👻 5:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:14 I see. So this version is on a couple different discs. Well, this was fire. Lived up to the title.
	5:15pm Patrick Mahomes: RRG. - Gus Bodenheim should try that
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or was that the Dawg that Drumpf's VP victim shot in her autobiography for being a dawg...
	5:17pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... I think Mitch was listening to the VU at the time.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... 'Doing' a Dylan ...but comes out like TheCoasters. Cause MitchRyder knows...
	5:18pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:17 He did the first cover of a VU tune of which I'm aware.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:18 Wait. Whut.
	5:19pm Irwin: Ryder covered "Rock & Roll" (from the VU's Loaded) around 1970. I might be off a year.
	5:26pm James in ATL: ↳ Song: "Jungle Chase" by "Ìxtahuele" Lovely to hear this exotica! Get me a Mai Tai!
	👻 5:26pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Jungle Chase" by "Ìxtahuele" Would the Jazz Police accept this?
	5:30pm spodiodi: selfless Gus <3
	5:31pm lou in CHI: According to the recent Lou Reed biography, the Jimmy Page-era Yardbirds covered Waiting for the Man live a few times in 1966.
	👻 5:33pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Probes Your Billets-Doux, Pt. 8" by "Gus Bode... Yes, the Bull Moose party! Bring back Teddy Roosevelt! Bully!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ lou in CHI @5:31 Oh yeah...
	👻 5:34pm DjLorraine: Velvet antler IGF
	👻 5:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... Baby Jane Holzer was one of the Warhol Factory denizens, as were the VU members.
	5:35pm Lisa: It's been way too long, Sabu
	5:37pm Dean: 1971 https://www.discogs.com/master/369667-Detroit-2-With-Mitch-Ryder-Detroit
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brits the Downliners Sect did 'Why Don't You Smile Now' by LouReed - but not specifically a VU song yet...
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Near You / The More I See You" by "Sabu" "Tony Ferreti used to work at the Rag Doll." Inside joke.
	5:38pm Dean: But The Riats covered "Sunday Morning" in 1967. https://www.discogs.com/release/2947005-The-Riats-Run-Run-Run
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @5:38 Nederbeats !
	5:39pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:38 I stand corrected. Never heard these early VU covers. Did the Yardbirds record theirs?
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:39 Live @ the BBC ?
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:39 ...not released back then presumably...
	5:41pm Dean: Not to my "knowledge."
	5:42pm ben & Reba: Thanks Irrwin, enjoying your show a lot
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie speaks of having the VU & Nico album early on ...when he was somewhat under the radar himself. He quotes the line 'taste the whip - in love not given lightly' on one or other of those early Freakbeaty trax...
	5:50pm Dean: Been forever since I've heard Crack the Sky. Last time was WFMU, too.
	👻 5:50pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:50pm Irwin: ↳ ben & Reba @5:42 I like this spelling with two R's.
	5:51pm ?: and 2 I's
	👻 5:51pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, Irwin.
	5:51pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:50 Prog supreme! Lots of unexpected rhythmic shifts.
	5:52pm ?: yummy Prog Legs
	5:53pm spodiodi: thanks, Irwin, Gus 🙏
	5:54pm jan: ↳ Song: "Maybe I Can Fool Everybody" by "Crack the Sky" that's some fancy ax work
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Maybe I Can Fool Everybody" by "Crack the Sky" ...<< nice Hendrixy lead gittar panning >>...
	5:54pm Dean: Per a Rolling Stone article from 2017, "In 1968, with the Yardbirds, Page covered Reed's 'I'm Waiting for the Man' in concert." No word about recordings.
	5:55pm persimmon: These guys loved Animals
	5:55pm Yapper: Wow. Crack the Sky. Always assumed they were a Baltimore area band (where I’m from) as they always played Hammerjack’s in my youth. Just looked it up, they’re from West Virginia!
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Mr. IDC Sir ~
	5:58pm listener 126464: Thank you, Irwin.
	5:59pm Dean: Downliners Sect, 1967, "Why Don't You Smile Now," pre-VU composed by Reed/Cale/Vance/Philips

	3:34pm Phillippe: Pretty bad when your signed first editions wind up on the remainder table
	3:39pm ?: period.....
	👻 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Browses Books" by "Gus Bodenheim" Wow. Avant-garde new wave literature from back in the 18th century!
	👻 3:40pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Browses Books" by "Gus Bodenheim" That Dexter guy was way ahead of his time. As Gus is ahead of his.
	3:41pm KWilde: !!
	👻 3:43pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Phillippe @3:34 Pretty much the plot of Peter DeVries' "Peckham's Marbles". Abysimally low selling, high-brow author goes on an odyssey to sign the three copies of his book that actually sold so they can't be returned. Hilarity ensures.
	3:44pm Irwin: ↳ KWilde @3:41 That's quite exclamatory, KW.
	3:45pm fred: ↳ Phillippe @3:34 Canadian author Robertson Davies would go in bookstores to check the price of first editions of his books, and complain if they were not expensive enough
	3:45pm hifivicky: I love this song!!
	3:46pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Rainbow" by "Twentieth Century Zoo" The ld gtr in this song is mixed WAY up front.
	3:47pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:46 Great playing anyway. Two guitars, not sure if one is overdubbed.
	3:49pm rsj: is that jimi hendrix?
	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ rsj @3:49 Yes, unmistakably.
	👻 3:51pm DjLorraine: This is better than wanting to hear Rainbow power.
	3:52pm Kitschy Mama: ↳ Song: "Robot" by "Ansambl Mileta Petrovića" love this rhythm.
	3:52pm Ike: Since Irwin loves the U.S. Postal Service — we just missed their National Dog Bite Awareness Campaign! Did you know the USPS released their Dog Bite National Rankings? Pop quiz, people! Which city has the most dog bites?
	3:54pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @3:52 How many guesses?
	👻 3:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ike @3:52 I'm guessing Houston, TX.
	3:55pm Ike: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:54 That’s an amazing guess! They’re #2!
	3:56pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @3:54 I’ll give you the standard 3.
	3:56pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @3:56 NYC? Atlanta?
	👻 3:56pm Dan S: ↳ Ike @3:52 More people, more dogs, so I'll guess NYC.
	👻 3:57pm winston legthigh: los angeles
	3:57pm Irwin: ↳ winston legthigh @3:57 Gotta be.
	👻 3:58pm Dan S: If it's Jersey City, I'll hold WFMU responsible.
	3:58pm ?: Whitesville, W Va. but they called it a draw as their postal carriers bit each dog back
	4:00pm dro: wife says Philadelphia, Houston or Tampa. I’m gonna say Detroit
	4:00pm ?: Mo doggies, mo problems
	👻 4:00pm rrg: I looked up the Dog Bite rankings. Is that cheating? Probably. I'll wait for Ike's report.
	👻 4:02pm winston legthigh: that's not my dog.
	👻 4:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Once bitten, twice shy.
	4:04pm yippie: los angeles could win the subcategory for most mailmen bitten by police dogs
	👻 4:07pm winston legthigh: gus will right the ship.
	4:08pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @3:56 NYC is not even on the list! Must be the lack of front yards. Neither is Atlanta, no idea why not.
	4:08pm pmcWhenever: adding to discogulator could be easier… always something
	4:09pm Ike: ↳ winston legthigh @3:57 Ding ding ding! L.A. is #1.
	4:09pm Ike: ↳ yippie @4:04 No doubt in my mind.
	👻 4:11pm Dan S: ↳ Ike @4:09 Remind me not to apply for a Letter Carrier job there.
	4:12pm Ike: ↳ dro @4:00 Detroit isn’t #1 in anything anymore. They’re #30 in dog bites. Houston is #2 and Philly is #9. I don’t see Tampa in the top 30.
	4:13pm Dean: Big Jay McNeely delivered for USPS in LA. Broke his ankle, and while on disability he started playing again in local dives. Saw him many times at Santa Fe Springs' Rim Ram.
	4:15pm ?: ↳ Ike @4:12 Gov. DeSantis has signed an Executive Order banning dogs with teeth. He sites his desire for more dental symmetry with dog owners
	👻 4:15pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ike @4:09 woot woot!
	4:15pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Pro Volunteer" by "Lame Drivers" Lame Drivers at the station last month: www.flickr.com... www.flickr.com... www.flickr.com...
	4:16pm Dean: Does DeSantis forget that most humans have canines, too?
	👻 4:17pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Mad Mission" by "Patty Griffin" This is a favorite of mine. I first heard it here.
	4:18pm ?: ↳ Dean @4:16 Is DeSantis a human? Debateable
	4:19pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:17 Rediscovered it recently. The whole album's great. Tried her other stuff, it's OK, but this album's a standout.
	4:19pm Ike: Here are the full rankings! about.usps.com...
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ Ike @4:19 Did JC make the list?
	4:20pm Dean: He's a governor, right? No requirement of humanity.
	4:21pm Dean: JC tops the man-bites-dog list.
	👻 4:21pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ike @4:19 florida can't get anything right.
	4:22pm fred: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:15 Jason once showed up in my office asking "are you fred?". I guess he saw my red WFMU messenger bag while at a conference lunch table (right outside my office)
	👻 4:22pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:19 There's also a live version on her album "A Kiss in Time" (2003).
	4:22pm Dean: Florida--Tampa Bay, to be precise--has Bern's Steakhouse. That should count for something.
	4:22pm ?: ↳ Dean @4:20 heee hee hee
	4:23pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:22 Yep. It's mediocre compared to this version.
	👻 4:24pm winston legthigh: ↳ Dean @4:22 Bern's is great, went for my birthday. did the kitchen and wine cellar tour.
	4:25pm Dean: I went a very long time ago. It was superb. And the folks who took me picked up the tab!
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:23 I don't mean to sound so dismissive of PG's other work. I've only heard a bit and nothing grabbed me, but she's an immense talent.
	4:28pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" Diggin this
	4:28pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" I liked this a lot
	4:28pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Skull and Crossbones" by "Randy California" I meant this
	4:29pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" this too actually
	4:29pm Picante Mint: ↳ Tommy in Neversink @4:28 Same here lol. Randy California is one of my favorites. <3
	4:30pm Tommy in Neversink: EFD and Irwin's shows have gotten me though that 90 degree day w no AC
	4:31pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Tommy in Neversink @4:30 Not that I like AC that much anyway
	4:31pm Ike: I’m absolutely terrible at Michele’s pinball games, no matter how much I practice.
	👻 4:31pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" Some fine Kyuss worship here.
	👻 4:31pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" nice drummin.
	4:32pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Ike @4:31 I should be good at it
	4:32pm Ike: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Not in the top 30! Again, must not be enough front yards.
	👻 4:34pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "Medicare" by "Gardenia" get the fuzz ® album.
	👻 4:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Ike @4:09 I loved Spirit.
	4:36pm Picante Mint: That Son of Spirit record is fantastic!
	👻 4:51pm winston legthigh: gotta run. have a good one irwin, gus, fido and all.
	4:54pm paulshrug: This song speaks to me and my interests.
	4:56pm Handy Haversack: Irwin. Irwineers. Hot out there. The dog is more of a spill right now after our excursioning.
	👻 4:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sort of Way" by "Matt Gaskins" Wow this is great. Couldn't tell if it was High Llamas or Van Dyke Parks or both but wasn't expecting this album title.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Suns in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Water 🐎Horse Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE, Beatles - born 18 June 1942, Liverpool, UK Thee Melodic Genius of Rawk Brian Douglas Wilson, Beach Boys - born June 20, 1942, Inglewood, CA Thee Harmonic Genius of Rawk
	👻 5:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Sort of Way" by "Matt Gaskins" Fantastic!
	👻 5:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I miss Muriel's Treasure.
	5:07pm Fishtown Mike: Whoa a Muriel's Treasure redux?
	👻 5:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Fishtown Mike @5:07 jinx
	5:08pm dave miss: ↳ Song: "Say Say (Baby My Soul's on Fire)" by "Baron" Who knew Trumps kid had talent?
	👻 5:08pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): next up: gender bias
	5:11pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Say Say (Baby My Soul's on Fire)" by "Baron" The vocal on the original (this one) is more uninhibited than on the remake. The do-over sounds tepid compared to this killer performance.
	👻 5:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:11 this is top shelf
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dave miss @5:08 ...isn't Baron the dawg of Biden that bit too many Postmen ?? ...or do they each have their own Baron..
	👻 5:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:11 So the other version--the remake--is the version you played in ~2005/Muriel's Treasure era: This Is Soca (LP)?
	5:14pm Irwin: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:13 I never aired the remake. I don't like it. It's watered-down.
	👻 5:14pm rrg: Taylor Swift, a very savvy businesswoman, has taken the "remake your old stuff" idea to a successful extreme. She's been re-recording all her earliest albums in the EXACT style of the originals, calling them "Taylor's Version", and encouraging her fans (and everyone else) to buy and play only the new ones.
	👻 5:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Irwin @5:14 I see. So this version is on a couple different discs. Well, this was fire. Lived up to the title.
	5:15pm Patrick Mahomes: RRG. - Gus Bodenheim should try that
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or was that the Dawg that Drumpf's VP victim shot in her autobiography for being a dawg...
	5:17pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... I think Mitch was listening to the VU at the time.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... 'Doing' a Dylan ...but comes out like TheCoasters. Cause MitchRyder knows...
	5:18pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:17 He did the first cover of a VU tune of which I'm aware.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:18 Wait. Whut.
	5:19pm Irwin: Ryder covered "Rock & Roll" (from the VU's Loaded) around 1970. I might be off a year.
	5:26pm James in ATL: ↳ Song: "Jungle Chase" by "Ìxtahuele" Lovely to hear this exotica! Get me a Mai Tai!
	👻 5:26pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Jungle Chase" by "Ìxtahuele" Would the Jazz Police accept this?
	5:30pm spodiodi: selfless Gus <3
	5:31pm lou in CHI: According to the recent Lou Reed biography, the Jimmy Page-era Yardbirds covered Waiting for the Man live a few times in 1966.
	👻 5:33pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Gus Probes Your Billets-Doux, Pt. 8" by "Gus Bode... Yes, the Bull Moose party! Bring back Teddy Roosevelt! Bully!

	👻 5:34pm DjLorraine: Velvet antler IGF
	👻 5:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by "Mitch Ryder & the Det... Baby Jane Holzer was one of the Warhol Factory denizens, as were the VU members.
	5:35pm Lisa: It's been way too long, Sabu
	5:37pm Dean: 1971 https://www.discogs.com/master/369667-Detroit-2-With-Mitch-Ryder-Detroit
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brits the Downliners Sect did 'Why Don't You Smile Now' by LouReed - but not specifically a VU song yet...
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Near You / The More I See You" by "Sabu" "Tony Ferreti used to work at the Rag Doll." Inside joke.
	5:38pm Dean: But The Riats covered "Sunday Morning" in 1967. https://www.discogs.com/release/2947005-The-Riats-Run-Run-Run
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @5:38 Nederbeats !
	5:39pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:38 I stand corrected. Never heard these early VU covers. Did the Yardbirds record theirs?
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:39 Live @ the BBC ?
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:39 ...not released back then presumably...
	5:41pm Dean: Not to my "knowledge."
	5:42pm ben & Reba: Thanks Irrwin, enjoying your show a lot
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie speaks of having the VU & Nico album early on ...when he was somewhat under the radar himself. He quotes the line 'taste the whip - in love not given lightly' on one or other of those early Freakbeaty trax...
	5:50pm Dean: Been forever since I've heard Crack the Sky. Last time was WFMU, too.
	👻 5:50pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!

	5:51pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:50 Prog supreme! Lots of unexpected rhythmic shifts.

	5:53pm spodiodi: thanks, Irwin, Gus 🙏
	5:54pm jan: ↳ Song: "Maybe I Can Fool Everybody" by "Crack the Sky" that's some fancy ax work
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Maybe I Can Fool Everybody" by "Crack the Sky" ...<< nice Hendrixy lead gittar panning >>...
	5:54pm Dean: Per a Rolling Stone article from 2017, "In 1968, with the Yardbirds, Page covered Reed's 'I'm Waiting for the Man' in concert." No word about recordings.
	5:55pm persimmon: These guys loved Animals
	5:55pm Yapper: Wow. Crack the Sky. Always assumed they were a Baltimore area band (where I’m from) as they always played Hammerjack’s in my youth. Just looked it up, they’re from West Virginia!
