	👻 9:03am 12539: Yip!
	👻 9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Boing, boing, good morning.
	9:04am Matt from Springfield: Happy happy boing boing! Hi there Joe McG and Noisers!
	9:05am northguineahills: Sole (Anticon rapper), sampled this Vangelis track very nicely.
	9:05am Matt from Springfield: And what luck--I got an unexpected day off today due to a water main break at work. LIVE listen in the morning for me! :) Great start with this Vangelis. What a pretty little girl of the sea...
	9:06am Marmalade Kitty: Aww, french film music!
	9:06am hamburger: yepyepyepyep Ohhhhh!!!
	9:06am duke: radio, radio
	9:07am braveness23: Happy happy happy boing boing boing
	9:07am Matt from Springfield: Hi 12539, Ken HP, NGH, Kitty, hamburger, duke, B23 and all!
	9:07am northguineahills: So sleepy. My apartment had a gas leak last night, so first we had the fire department, and then the gas company repair the leak. I think I was in bed sometime after 2. quite a bit of excitement.
	9:08am common: hello joe, everyone! Happy happy!
	9:08am northguineahills: Howdies, Matt (copies and pastes Matt's msg) 12539, Ken HP, Kitty, hamburger, duke, B23 and all
	9:09am Guido (Cologne): Good morning!
	9:10am Matt from Springfield: Hey common! Guido! @NGH: Copying and pasting with the best of us! Hope your apartment had an alarm for the gas leak, that could be terrible hitting at night.
	9:10am hamburger: Howdies, Matt (copies and pastes Matt's msg) 12539, Ken HP, Kitty, me!, duke, B23 and all + NGH :D
	👻 9:10am 12539: I'm feeling fortunate that my water and gas lines are intact this morning.
	9:11am Marmalade Kitty: good morning/afternoon!!
	👻 9:11am 12539: And my radio.
	9:12am Matt from Springfield: @12539: But most fortunate, for our Web connections! THOSE can't go out during this show! (knocks on table)
	9:12am Joe McG: Good morn, everybody! Thanks for joining me for radio today!
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. ngh is that what a good night has come to? The recovery takes longer as you get older. Saw Jason Isbell play an acoustic set with his wife last night. Copacetic.
	9:13am Matt from Springfield: Totally killin' it with this soundtrack block, Joe!
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Good morning aliens.
	9:15am Matt from Springfield: CP FTW! Appropos avatar! :) And hamburger, I see you have multiple animated avatars in the can, ready to go.
	👻 9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Cheri Pi has cornered the market on a good avatar for this show.
	9:16am Marcel M: morning everyone
	9:18am Joe McG: @Matt: Thanks! @Cheri: If you are trying to win my heart, you are succeeding!
	9:18am Parq: Going to be too busy this morn to cat, but in for the music. And Joe (and others to whom it applies), see you this weekend.
	👻 9:19am 12539: Ah, je veux voir un film en noir et blanc, avec femmes jolies y hommes durs.
	9:20am Joe McG: Love them durie homs!
	9:21am Matt from Springfield: Is that going to be a segue into Durie, Ian? ;)
	9:22am northguineahills: Well, lets just say the evening was curious as I was engaging w/ my greenery (as well as bringing my plants inside) when this all occurred. The FDNY brought in their 'gas detectors' and localized the leak to the gas pipe leading to my stove. (stove is about two decades old).
	9:25am Matt from Springfield: [Insert mandatory "NGH is the source of all that gas" joke here]. But wow, in your very apartment? Good thing you're all right.
	9:25am earrie: @ngh A bit of sleeplessness sounds aok under the circumstances. Whew. Love these soundtrack instrumentals, Joe. Great mix.
	9:26am northguineahills: Good thing my nose and my gf's nose still works.
	9:27am Matt from Springfield: "The Ecstasy of Gold: 22 Killer Bullets from the Spaghetti West Vol. 2"! Fine title! This particular track from it is great.
	9:29am duke: This is great. I feel like I'm in the a 70's spy movie.
	9:29am braveness23: @northguineahills, I'm glad you are OK. My lady and I watched the Mythbusters last night where they exploded rooms with methane gas. I'm sorry if somehow our viewing choice caused your situation.
	9:30am Joe McG: Ngh: Scary! Glad you're OK!
	9:30am Matt from Springfield: @duke: Yeah, particularly after that vocal starts! :D Doris Troy, just one big hit with '63's "Just One Look" - but what great session work she did in the early 70s! Particularly the British studios.
	9:32am Guido (Cologne): Soundtrack-time! Dig it! Doris Troy! European period. (For those who don't know she's on of the female voices on Dark Side Of theMoon) Crippled Dick Hot Wax is all worth checking out (though expensive)!
	9:34am northguineahills: lultz, braveness!
	9:36am Matt from Springfield: Very groovy bed! I wouldn't mind hearing this. @Guido: DSotM, providing those soulful backing vocals, and Nick Drake's Bryter Layter also features her on "Poor Boy", and maybe others.
	9:37am common: love valerie and her week of wonders. so good!
	👻 9:37am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and radio buddies! Joe provides a great "soundtrack" to the morning.
	9:38am Marmalade Kitty: Great bed music!
	9:38am braveness23: I'd listen to this in bed
	9:39am mauri: Heyy! Gotta try this bedlistening
	9:40am Guido (Cologne): Bryter Layter suffers from my ignorance. Maybe should check it again. Anyway Joe Boyd's all time fav .
	9:40am braveness23: I want this bed music to play whenever I enter a room
	9:40am Dave B: Hello Joe!
	9:41am Matt from Springfield: Bed music is great for "listening in horizontal", as I've heard it described on playlists. @Guido von Köln: Joe Boyd, yes!
	9:43am KP: Hey there, Joe.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Stand up George & Tony for all your good work in the region.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Hey KP. How's it hanging?
	9:45am Joe McG: Hello to everyone I haven't said hello to. Thank you for your radio listening!
	9:47am Matt from Springfield: Hey KP and Brian!
	9:48am braveness23: Joe, your intro track got me so riled up that I forgot to say hello to everyone and I just jumped in acting like a buffoon. I feel terrible about it. Do you think it's too late?
	9:48am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for cheering me up Joe!
	9:49am Joe McG: @braveness: Never too late. Say hello to the good people! @Guido: My pleasure!
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: Omar Souleyman's new one produced by Four Tet. Blind Boys of Alabama produced by Justin Vernon. What is the world coming to?
	9:50am braveness23: <feeling a little sheepish> B23 here! Hello Joe! Hello Friendship Society!
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: @braveness it is never too late to act like a buffoon. Great word.
	9:53am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, first time hearing about "Damon". Wonder what his story is.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Matt: It's an interesting one! One of those private press rarities that now everybody gets to hear, not just a handful of collectors.
	9:56am Matt from Springfield: Ah, private press rarities--known to collectors and FMU DJ premiums. But thank goodness for reissue lables nowadays!
	9:57am braveness23: @Brian in UK, buffoonery is sort of my default mode anymore.
	👻 9:58am 12539: Monsieur Joe! "C'etait" un Beau Dimanche. 100 times on the blackboard after class.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Better a buffoon that a cad or a bounder, sir
	10:03am braveness23: fun boy three always gave good cover
	10:03am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, is this the original "Our Lips Are Sealed"?
	10:03am Dr. Goot: Love them Fun Boys!
	10:04am braveness23: who wha huh? It's NOT a cover???
	10:04am Cheri Pi: Read this the other day FB3: dangerousminds.net...
	10:05am Cheri Pi: Yes it's a cover.
	10:05am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Nice article reminded me!
	10:05am Cheri Pi: innit?
	10:05am braveness23: dunno, CP: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:06am Cheri Pi: Oh so it's a sharesy!
	10:06am Joe McG: In light of Roy Harper news, I decided not to play "Well Fancy That."
	10:07am Cheri Pi: Self Control!
	10:07am Matt from Springfield: Ah, it was written by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall together! Jane took it to her band first (the Go-Gos was '81), and Terry took it to his band second in '83. "Cover" in the sense of already released, though it is by an original writer. A "sharesy"! Iiiiiii LIKE it Cheri! :)
	10:07am mick fang: Elastic is such a rad tune
	10:07am PKNY: Yeah, it's not a cover, since the song was co-written by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall when they were on the downlow when the Specials and the Go-Go's toured together.
	10:08am Cheri Pi: no way, there was romance???@pkny?
	10:09am pgw in mntclr: Terry Hall is pretty great.
	10:09am PKNY: @Cheri - that's what the Wikipedia page says. Which makes complete sense, when you analyze the lyrics.
	10:10am PKNY: More info here --> www.songfacts.com...
	10:12am Cheri Pi: Glad I didn't know about it then, my teenage heart would have been broken and very disapointed.
	10:12am braveness23: this UT is sick!
	10:13am Guido (Cologne): UT were one of my fave mid-80ies groups. Listening to their records in retrospect after 25 years it souded like an "embryonic Sleater Kinney practicing" to me. Great track, never heard.
	10:13am earrie: @1259/Joe And accented to 'C'était' ? 'It was.' 'La serre' is a new French word to me. Oo ah.
	10:14am Matt from Springfield: TRIO!
	10:14am Cecile: Trio! Deep cut!
	10:15am Guido (Cologne): You should seek out TRIO @ Rockpalast for a really great live performance. It really shows what great group they were.
	10:16am Cheri Pi: Total deep cut! Forget Da Da Da!
	10:16am Joe McG: That's the A side, extended!
	10:16am Cecile: they were pure rock 'n' roll. Stripped down!
	10:17am Cecile: OK, this needs to be covered for Hoof and Mouth.
	10:17am Cecile: hahahahahaha The Village People's New Romantic album.
	10:18am braveness23: I used to have an impressive collection of 7" covers of Da Da Da in many different languages. Was never too impressed with the song but it was fun to hear it done so many different ways in so many languages
	10:18am Guido (Cologne): Take in consideration that musicians of TRIO had a prog-rock-past.
	10:18am Joe McG: Should I play the entire Village People "fast food" triptych?
	10:19am common: joe. Yes please!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Is this dedicated to FMU's Saturday DJ?
	10:19am Lewis: looks like I got here just in time!
	10:19am Matt from Springfield: A VP "triptych" of fast food??! :)
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Oh sorry I was hearing Bill Mac.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that goes out to Big Bill Mac!
	10:20am Matt from Springfield: They are getting "ready for the 80s"... @Brian: Hells yeah! :D
	10:20am Guido (Cologne): ... and some versions of "things go better with Coca Cola" ...
	10:20am fred: @Guido: I saw earlier this year. I don't know if they're active and touring or if it was a special on-off event
	10:20am PKNY: That "Big Mac" was one semi-distorted guitar away from being a Loverboy song.
	10:20am common: thanks joe!
	10:21am Joe McG: @common: You twisted my arm! ha ha
	10:21am braveness23: <facepalm> this song is ... special
	10:21am Roberto: Oh my. How could this possibly have escaped my attention until now?
	10:21am Cecile: You should play Skin and Bones by the Kinks as an answer song.
	10:22am Cecile: this is like six kinds of horrible
	10:22am Guido (Cologne): @fred : I mean this performance here (!982) www.youtube.com...
	10:22am PKNY: If only the New Romantic Village People knew that about the health/food issues we'd have these days...or maybe they did...
	10:22am Cheri Pi: This is not the first time I've "indulged" in this song.
	10:23am Matt from Springfield: Joe McG, leading the later-Village People revival on WFMU! "The late period tracks you love, by the mediocre artists you tolerate"!
	10:23am Joe McG: One more in the triptych!
	10:23am Cecile: guido, I will have to set time aside to enjoy this concert.
	10:23am PKNY: After this, I'll need to go on a "Diet" diet.
	10:23am Cecile: this sounds like the Surf Punks.
	10:24am Roberto: Holy mother of crap...New Wave Village People
	10:24am Cheri Pi: Pardon me while I pogo dance.
	10:24am Matt from Springfield: Oh! I've heard this one--I think BT's played the single for SGS week. He was focused mainly on the VP trying to be "punk" aspect.
	10:24am PKNY: If you have told me this morning that I'd be listening to a post-disco-era VP rock block, I wouldn't have believed it.
	10:25am common: Ha!
	10:25am Chris M.: what is this, the soundtrack of Revenge of the Nerds?
	10:26am Cecile: Dr. Venture!
	10:26am PKNY: Man, the VP look for this era is next level --> upload.wikimedia.org...
	10:26am Matt from Springfield: Ha, Chris! Now I can imagine the VP, performing THIS, dressed as the Revenge of the Nerds finale!
	10:26am Cecile: Dr Venture? Ancient Dr. Venture?
	10:27am braveness23: Here is my intro music again. Joe, what is it?
	10:27am Matt from Springfield: @PKNY: That's what's great about listening to FMU, any prophecies of what you will be hearing will sound utterly incredulous! :)
	10:28am Glenn M: Good morning
	10:29am Cecile: yes, they are!!
	10:29am Cecile: please do!
	10:30am Cecile: 1981
	10:32am KP: I'm going to buy your Bobbi Gentry collection at the Fair.
	10:33am Mike East: dang, just missed James Urbaniak. I like that guy
	10:33am bobdoesthings: whats this backing track joe?
	👻 10:33am tim from champaign: Damn, I take off my earphones for about 15 minutes and I missed all sorts of mayhem.
	10:34am Guido (Cologne): Bobby Gentry is cool. Dig "Delta Sweete" and "Local Gentry", wonderful albums!
	10:35am Matt from Springfield: LIKE!! :D
	10:35am Joe McG: @bobdoesthings: It's "L'arcidiavolo" by Armondo Tiovaioil. Or close to that!
	10:36am Joe McG: @KP: Not for sale!
	10:36am tony: Jasper Carrott ! Really???
	10:36am bobdoesthings: Cool thanks!
	10:36am Tiago: not really worth knowing but here: http://www.jaspercarrott.com/
	10:37am Matt from Springfield: How the hell have I NOT heard of Jasper Carrott until now! I must look more into him! "Jasper Carrott, OBE" no less!
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Note that Birmingham accent.
	10:37am northguineahills: Ok, this Jasper Carrott works for me, oddly enough....
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, Tiago!
	10:38am duke: Is Jasper Carrot any relation to Carrot Top
	10:38am Cecile: in a pie.
	10:38am braveness23: Jeez, this show is making my hungry...
	10:38am slater: Sweet Potato! We had this single when I was a kid and I've been looking for it for years!
	10:39am Matt from Springfield: "The B-side of this single was a risqué monologue parodying the animated children's TV series The Magic Roundabout. This track was banned by the BBC, which is widely believed to have contributed to the single's commercial success, which in turn, ironically, led to his appearance on the BBC's Top of the Pops."
	10:39am PKNY: The "Sweet Potato" is tasty! Kinda reminds me of Tommy Roe, especially in the way they give the drummer some.
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Carrot made a short guest appearance at Cropredy this year.
	10:40am Cecile: this sounds like Tommy Roe doing Jesus rock.
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: Is there a theme here, Joe.
	10:40am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: So is that how they talk in the West Midlands? Which accent do you describe as having?
	10:41am Joe McG: @Brian: LYes, I guess I'm hungry.
	10:43am Guido (Cologne): I first thought this must be a Chuck Jackson outing. But for sure it's from the bacharach/David-workbench.
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: @Matt that is Midlands. West Midlands, like Dudley & Black Country are atypical Midlands accents that people overhere like to take the pi.. out of most of all. It is not the most attractive of accents. Robert Plants is not very obvious.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Guido: Right on the money, sir.
	10:45am Matt from Springfield: Wow, Susan sounds a bit like Linda Ronstadt, with an extra spoonful of country added to the voice.
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: My accent is from the sarf. Around Lunnon. Though ofcouse one is well spoken. I went to skool in Harrow.
	10:45am braveness23: This guy she's singing about sounds like a real turd. Next time my lady shakes her fist at me I'm gonna play this song for her and show her how bad it COULD be
	10:47am Matt from Springfield: Robert Plant probably toned down his accent once he started to make it big. Ah, a "Southern"er! And one is ever well-spoken, even well-typéd, on these playlists :)
	👻 10:47am tim from champaign: Yup, b23, that'll go over well. Your ladies gonna play "Fist City" next.
	10:47am Cecile: wow. this has not gotten better over time.
	10:48am Joe McG: It makes sense that Jeff Lynne would produce Jasper Carrott. They're both from Birmingham. Home boys!
	👻 10:48am tim from champaign: Uh. "lady's" not "ladies".
	10:48am braveness23: Thanks Tim, I need people like you to tell me when my brilliant ideas aren't so brilliant.
	👻 10:49am tim from champaign: Trust me, b23, I have a lot of brilliant ideas myself.
	10:49am northguineahills: Speaking of accents, when I moved to NYC, everyone told me I had a (US) Southern accent, which I never noticed before. Now I have coworkers that assume I'm a native NYer. It still takes about 3 days back in the homeland for my accent to come back.
	10:50am PKNY: Pretty Purdie, nice! BTW, what's the B-side of that 45?
	10:50am Matt from Springfield: Finnish group Pepe Deluxe had a song from 2003 "Lying Peacefully" with a real retro-soul sound. Their main organ riff is virtually the same as this "Song for Aretha"!
	10:50am Joe McG: @PKNY: I have a promo copy, so it's the same on both sides, one mono. What a record! I didn't think to bring any Aretha to follow up with. Duh!
	10:50am slater: @NGH: me too
	10:51am Matt from Springfield: That's okay Joe, it means that Single File is truly "random" and not at all planned! :)
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: Sabbath, Move, Plant, Second City Sound. Birmingham did fall twixt London & Liverpool never had a distinctive sound.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Matt: Rarely, anyway. I should plan it a bit more, maybe! But I like the happy accidents I don't notice.
	👻 10:53am Brian in UK: Ofcouse the Moody Blues as well.
	10:53am Matt from Springfield: @NGH: To NYCers, any FL accent might seem "Southern". But do you think your accent was Southern, like old-school Northern FL? Some of my ancestors were old-school interior of FL, very Southern at that time.
	10:54am PKNY: @Joe - Thanks for the info! I have the repress of the PP album w/ "Aretha", was just curious if there was a non-LP side on the flip.
	10:54am braveness23: Holy cow, I need some platform boots with goldfish in the heels
	10:55am Joe McG: @PKNY: I'll check Discogs in a minute and see!
	10:55am Matt from Springfield: Black beans & rice! Coconut Groove it!
	10:56am Joe McG: @PKNY: Hey, it's not there! Let me know if you find out.
	10:56am Mike East: oh man, they're using the conference room behind my office as a makeup room today and blasting the most awful modern music. I think I heard someone say it was Kesha. Gonna have to crank the ol' computer speakers today
	10:57am Joe McG: You go, Mike!
	10:58am Joe McG: Has anyone ever seen the movie "Making It"?
	10:58am Matt from Springfield: NOT to be confused with David Naughton's theme from "Makin' It", the short-lived 8 episode disco sitcom that preceded his one pop hit.
	10:58am Cecile: wow this is six kinds of train wreck.
	10:59am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's like bad Neil Diamond! All good!
	👻 10:59am tim from champaign: Nope, was it a Midnght Cowboy knockoff?
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @Matt at a stretch you could say that my avatar photograph was taken in the West Midlands, strictly Worcercestershire. At Shelsley Walsh, the oldest auto racing venue in the world, during the centennary in 2005.
	10:59am northguineahills: @Matt: I had a light Florigia accent w/ some remnant WVisms (My mom still has a noticeable WV accent). In HS, and even college, I had a few friends w/ much heavier accents. One my old pals was Lebanese, and had a thick southern drawl.
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: SLACKS
	11:00am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	11:01am Cheri Pi: killer!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hell they dropped the slacks. Tee Hee.
	11:01am efd: Yay Sunset Bombers!
	11:01am Matt from Springfield: Yes, "bad Neil Diamond"! "Schoolgirl, you're a womannnn..." ;)
	11:01am PKNY: @Joe - found this link, it's appears there a 45 from Pretty Purdie w/ "Aretha" on the flip, the A side is an album cut: www.discogs.com...
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Reg would turn in his corn circle.
	11:02am Matt from Springfield: EFD Seal of Approval!
	11:02am braveness23: A colleague IM'd me to tell me he had 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' stuck in his head for no particular reason. At that moment I realized that I was listening to The Village People signing 'Diet' and had absolutely no grounds for making fun of him...
	11:02am Joe McG: @efd: Hey, EFD, how do you say "UT"? Is it "uht,", "oot," or "U.T."?
	11:02am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: 1905, probably the earliest car race still going on indeed.
	11:03am efd: oof, good question! I say "you tee," but I don't know if that's correct.
	11:05am efd: Joe, are you not going to reveal the Fun Fact™ about the Sunset Bombers?
	11:08am Cecile: yes it is.
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: It is French originally
	11:08am fred: @Joe: I can't remember exactly how they said it when I saw them this year, but it was definitely not "U.T.". They explained it was supposed to be the note
	11:09am Mike Noble: I don't think the 9 train exists anymore.
	11:10am northguineahills: I use my A/C fan for white noise, but it doesn't blow on my bed.
	11:11am SheWolf: I use this one Joe. It's rad. youtu.be...
	11:11am Ike: I use a vaporizer instead of a sleep machine. It makes nice bubbly noises plus it humidifies. Fairly quiet though, may not be loud enough for especially loud neighbors.
	11:11am northguineahills: I'm not so much into the dirty stuff, says Joe who played one dirty-ass set last friday on GTDS stream last Friday.
	11:12am listener 108365: regarding sleep machines, when my brother was young and got used to sleeping with the oscillating fan my father removed the fan blades in the winter
	11:12am Mike Noble: I think it disappeared 8 years ago. I miss the Upper Manhattan skip stops.
	11:13am Mike Noble: I'm now imagining the last 9 train (with passengers) vanishing into a Bermuda tunnel, returning only to haunt the living.
	11:13am herb.nyc: wow, joe said OLD WFMU T-SHIRTS, and CHEAP, at the record fair. wait, i have too many tee's. but maybe you don't!! (i love wearing my UPSALA tee that has MOSES holding 2 tablets / radios and coming down the mountain.) (right, no 9 train anymore. the MTA runs 1 trains at 9x the usual frequency instead. not!)
	11:13am Joe McG: Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! I'm going to check 'em out. @ngh: Yeah, it was a little dirty! [embarrassed now, in a sober frame of mind]
	11:14am bobdoesthings: The Lost Passengers of the 9 Train
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: Yes, Bardo Pond! I love them. I've send them only twice. But each time I saw them they lifted my spirits immensely. Joe, I have an air purifier that seems to create some nice white noise for sleeping.
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: If you can think of the brand, let me know.
	11:14am earrie: And comfy: - silicone earplugs you diy mold-- like this http://mnresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Swimming-Ear-plugs.jpg
	11:15am Cheri Pi: Sweet! new Bardo Pond and the artwork is screaming for the gif treatment.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe, get plastered.
	11:16am earrie: or shape them sorta like these: http://www.audiosculpt.com.au/earplug-colors%20copy.png
	11:16am Joe McG: @earrie: Interesting! I have some industrial earplugs my brother in law gave me, but believe it or not, they're not enough. @Brian: Old world solutions are the best ones!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Cheri: Yes, nekkid gals on this one.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe, hi everyone.
	11:18am βrian: This is what I imagine solar flares sound like. They are lapping at my ears.
	11:18am pgw in mntclr: as a former resident of the philly metro area, i use to go see bardo pond quite often. i think the first time was them opening for velocity girl (and completely freaking out unsuspecting VG fans).
	11:19am KP: I saw "Making It." What about it. It wasn't that memorable, as I remember.
	👻 11:19am tim from champaign: @Joe - It's a Holmes brand air purifier with HEPA filter. Looking online, similar models all have serial numbers that start with HAP7.
	11:19am Mike East: silicone from GE is unquestionably...the answer
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: This would actually go nice with "Solar Motel," but I forgot to put that one in the cart. @KP: What was it about again?
	11:19am Matt from Springfield: Heya Carm.
	11:20am earrie: The soft silicones are worth a shot. I think industrial ones are built for protection more than silence. I tried a range and these were the ones that worked.
	👻 11:20am tim from champaign: Perfect description, brian.
	11:23am KP: I live over the FDR, there 's some noise canceling for you.
	11:23am braveness23: While we are talking about all this stuff, anyone have any recommendations for a humidifier? I have a 110 year old brick house with radiant heat. I run a room humidifier all night long but when I wake up the humidity in the room is still only around 38% (in the winter). My throat and sinuses are dry as corn flakes. I occasionally do a netti pot. It makes me feel much better but I hate the process.
	11:25am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: This Yo La Tengo is cribbing my thoughts.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: I am completely lost what everyone is writing about. Loving the music though.
	11:28am Mike East: aw man, deluxe "Fade" - I didn't know about dat.
	11:29am Joe McG: @Mike: It's nice! Some live tracks, some unreleased songs, and even "I Saw the Light," which they did for Michael Shelley's premium a couple of years ago.
	11:29am βrian: @Brian in UK: It's the iridescent vector that provides the insight. Just tweak your fathomizer to the left, and it will all make sense.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Thank you central scrutinizer.
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Back to Jimmie Haskell's California '99 then.
	11:35am northguineahills: I just picked up Universal Consciousness at record store in Brooklyn for $10 last week.
	11:36am Matt from Springfield: All pervasive! Where's this Laraaji from?
	11:37am Joe McG: @Matt: From Brian Eno's house!
	11:37am pgw in mntclr: that hammered dulcimer/cimbalom sound is always great
	11:38am Guido (Cologne): This Laraaji track made me wanna hear Kaki King's "Bowen Island".
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: And Harold Budd lives next door.
	11:39am Cheri Pi: Yiu are killing it today JMcG!
	11:39am βrian: I have a Harold Budd CD I haven't listened to in eons. Gotta fix that...
	11:40am Joe McG: @cheri: Thanks, CP, havin' fun, as ever!
	11:40am Matt from Springfield: Ah, Brian Eno! And Harold Budd, coincidentally (or not!) right after.
	11:41am Cecile: Joe, you just wish you had a penthouse apartment with an egg chair, orange shag carpeting and a top-of-the-line Marantz stereo.
	11:42am Joe McG: Damn, Barry White would've sounded great after this. I forgot to bring "White Gold," which I had put aside! [hits forehead]
	👻 11:42am tim from champaign: Death Wish soundtrack is really good.
	11:43am Whosondephone: Very Nice! Keep it coming Baby!
	11:45am earrie: Like a sandwich w/ instrumental bread.
	11:49am Greg from Bloomfield: DID YOU KNOW that Christopher Guest is the cop at the end of Death Wish? IT'S A FACT!
	11:51am Joe McG: Nice trivia, Greg!
	11:52am pgw in mntclr: whenever i need a good laugh, i watch a clip of the last scene of "death wish 4"
	11:52am Cecile: maaaaaac
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign: There's a Mac Davis Blvd in Lubbock, TX.
	11:53am Cecile: my parents loved his variety show
	11:54am KP: Making it was about a hot shot high school kid deducing a girl then realizing life is not all fun and games. It was not great
	11:54am common: pgw: what do you think about death wish 3? Hiiiiilarious!
	11:54am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh my GOD. Mac Davis. I always immediately think of him on the Muppet Show, singing "Don't Get Hooked on Me" while sitting on a giant fish hook.
	11:55am KP: SEDUCING! Damn you spell check!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Jennique: That's hysterically funny! I have to see that.
	11:56am Matt from Springfield: Bobbie Gentry, always a treat! Always something dark in her music, too.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks joe! for the wonderful soundtrack while cooking for dj icepack's birthday party!!
	11:57am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think I remember that episode because Miss Piggy was falling all over him. Here's the youtube link: www.youtube.com...
	11:57am northguineahills: Awesome stuff, Joe!
	11:58am pgw in mntclr: Bobbie is so good.
	11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week, and enjoy your Thanksgiving! Bill Zurat next week! Bye!
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: 'till the next time.
	👻 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday, DJ Icepack. My dad would've been 81 today. RIP
	11:58am Cecile: Bettye Lavette is still pissed at Bobbie that she had a hit with "He Made a Woman out of me". I think Bettye's is the better versrion, but still. Bobbie didn't get to serenade the Who at the Kennedy Center.
	11:58am Lewis: There for a moment I had a flash of Lee Hazelwood producing Bobby Gentry...
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am pgw in mntclr: you too! great show!!
	11:58am Matt from Springfield: Bill Zurat AGAIN! Sweet! Thanks so much for a wonderful show, Joe! Have a great Thursday everybody! Happy Thanksgiving!
	11:59am Cecile: my mom had the hots for Mac
	12:00pm Matt from Springfield: 34 CD Herbie BOX! That's comprehensive, to say the least! Just insert CD 1, and keep on going! ;)
	12:00pm pgw in mntclr: going to youtube for "death wish 3" clips
	5:50pm Joe McG: In case anyone is wondering, the fun fact that EFD was referring to (and that I failed to mention) is that Doug Fieger of the Knack played bass in the Sunset Bombers!
	7:19pm tony: A little mistake with title "Getait un Beau Dimanche" it's "C'était un beau dimanche"
	9:05am Joe McG: Thanks, Tony! The print on that CD is very hard to read; all the "C"s look like "G"s.

	👻 9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Boing, boing, good morning.
	9:04am Matt from Springfield: Happy happy boing boing! Hi there Joe McG and Noisers!
	9:05am northguineahills: Sole (Anticon rapper), sampled this Vangelis track very nicely.
	9:05am Matt from Springfield: And what luck--I got an unexpected day off today due to a water main break at work. LIVE listen in the morning for me! :) Great start with this Vangelis. What a pretty little girl of the sea...
	9:06am Marmalade Kitty: Aww, french film music!
	9:06am hamburger: yepyepyepyep Ohhhhh!!!
	9:06am duke: radio, radio
	9:07am braveness23: Happy happy happy boing boing boing
	9:07am Matt from Springfield: Hi 12539, Ken HP, NGH, Kitty, hamburger, duke, B23 and all!
	9:07am northguineahills: So sleepy. My apartment had a gas leak last night, so first we had the fire department, and then the gas company repair the leak. I think I was in bed sometime after 2. quite a bit of excitement.
	9:08am common: hello joe, everyone! Happy happy!
	9:08am northguineahills: Howdies, Matt (copies and pastes Matt's msg) 12539, Ken HP, Kitty, hamburger, duke, B23 and all
	9:09am Guido (Cologne): Good morning!
	9:10am Matt from Springfield: Hey common! Guido! @NGH: Copying and pasting with the best of us! Hope your apartment had an alarm for the gas leak, that could be terrible hitting at night.
	9:10am hamburger: Howdies, Matt (copies and pastes Matt's msg) 12539, Ken HP, Kitty, me!, duke, B23 and all + NGH :D
	👻 9:10am 12539: I'm feeling fortunate that my water and gas lines are intact this morning.
	9:11am Marmalade Kitty: good morning/afternoon!!
	👻 9:11am 12539: And my radio.
	9:12am Matt from Springfield: @12539: But most fortunate, for our Web connections! THOSE can't go out during this show! (knocks on table)
	9:12am Joe McG: Good morn, everybody! Thanks for joining me for radio today!
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. ngh is that what a good night has come to? The recovery takes longer as you get older. Saw Jason Isbell play an acoustic set with his wife last night. Copacetic.
	9:13am Matt from Springfield: Totally killin' it with this soundtrack block, Joe!
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Good morning aliens.
	9:15am Matt from Springfield: CP FTW! Appropos avatar! :) And hamburger, I see you have multiple animated avatars in the can, ready to go.
	👻 9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Cheri Pi has cornered the market on a good avatar for this show.
	9:16am Marcel M: morning everyone
	9:18am Joe McG: @Matt: Thanks! @Cheri: If you are trying to win my heart, you are succeeding!
	9:18am Parq: Going to be too busy this morn to cat, but in for the music. And Joe (and others to whom it applies), see you this weekend.
	👻 9:19am 12539: Ah, je veux voir un film en noir et blanc, avec femmes jolies y hommes durs.
	9:20am Joe McG: Love them durie homs!
	9:21am Matt from Springfield: Is that going to be a segue into Durie, Ian? ;)
	9:22am northguineahills: Well, lets just say the evening was curious as I was engaging w/ my greenery (as well as bringing my plants inside) when this all occurred. The FDNY brought in their 'gas detectors' and localized the leak to the gas pipe leading to my stove. (stove is about two decades old).
	9:25am Matt from Springfield: [Insert mandatory "NGH is the source of all that gas" joke here]. But wow, in your very apartment? Good thing you're all right.
	9:25am earrie: @ngh A bit of sleeplessness sounds aok under the circumstances. Whew. Love these soundtrack instrumentals, Joe. Great mix.
	9:26am northguineahills: Good thing my nose and my gf's nose still works.
	9:27am Matt from Springfield: "The Ecstasy of Gold: 22 Killer Bullets from the Spaghetti West Vol. 2"! Fine title! This particular track from it is great.
	9:29am duke: This is great. I feel like I'm in the a 70's spy movie.
	9:29am braveness23: @northguineahills, I'm glad you are OK. My lady and I watched the Mythbusters last night where they exploded rooms with methane gas. I'm sorry if somehow our viewing choice caused your situation.
	9:30am Joe McG: Ngh: Scary! Glad you're OK!
	9:30am Matt from Springfield: @duke: Yeah, particularly after that vocal starts! :D Doris Troy, just one big hit with '63's "Just One Look" - but what great session work she did in the early 70s! Particularly the British studios.
	9:32am Guido (Cologne): Soundtrack-time! Dig it! Doris Troy! European period. (For those who don't know she's on of the female voices on Dark Side Of theMoon) Crippled Dick Hot Wax is all worth checking out (though expensive)!
	9:34am northguineahills: lultz, braveness!
	9:36am Matt from Springfield: Very groovy bed! I wouldn't mind hearing this. @Guido: DSotM, providing those soulful backing vocals, and Nick Drake's Bryter Layter also features her on "Poor Boy", and maybe others.
	9:37am common: love valerie and her week of wonders. so good!
	👻 9:37am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and radio buddies! Joe provides a great "soundtrack" to the morning.
	9:38am Marmalade Kitty: Great bed music!
	9:38am braveness23: I'd listen to this in bed
	9:39am mauri: Heyy! Gotta try this bedlistening
	9:40am Guido (Cologne): Bryter Layter suffers from my ignorance. Maybe should check it again. Anyway Joe Boyd's all time fav .
	9:40am braveness23: I want this bed music to play whenever I enter a room
	9:40am Dave B: Hello Joe!
	9:41am Matt from Springfield: Bed music is great for "listening in horizontal", as I've heard it described on playlists. @Guido von Köln: Joe Boyd, yes!
	9:43am KP: Hey there, Joe.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Stand up George & Tony for all your good work in the region.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Hey KP. How's it hanging?
	9:45am Joe McG: Hello to everyone I haven't said hello to. Thank you for your radio listening!
	9:47am Matt from Springfield: Hey KP and Brian!
	9:48am braveness23: Joe, your intro track got me so riled up that I forgot to say hello to everyone and I just jumped in acting like a buffoon. I feel terrible about it. Do you think it's too late?
	9:48am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for cheering me up Joe!
	9:49am Joe McG: @braveness: Never too late. Say hello to the good people! @Guido: My pleasure!
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: Omar Souleyman's new one produced by Four Tet. Blind Boys of Alabama produced by Justin Vernon. What is the world coming to?
	9:50am braveness23: <feeling a little sheepish> B23 here! Hello Joe! Hello Friendship Society!
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: @braveness it is never too late to act like a buffoon. Great word.
	9:53am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, first time hearing about "Damon". Wonder what his story is.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Matt: It's an interesting one! One of those private press rarities that now everybody gets to hear, not just a handful of collectors.
	9:56am Matt from Springfield: Ah, private press rarities--known to collectors and FMU DJ premiums. But thank goodness for reissue lables nowadays!
	9:57am braveness23: @Brian in UK, buffoonery is sort of my default mode anymore.
	👻 9:58am 12539: Monsieur Joe! "C'etait" un Beau Dimanche. 100 times on the blackboard after class.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Better a buffoon that a cad or a bounder, sir
	10:03am braveness23: fun boy three always gave good cover
	10:03am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, is this the original "Our Lips Are Sealed"?
	10:03am Dr. Goot: Love them Fun Boys!
	10:04am braveness23: who wha huh? It's NOT a cover???
	10:04am Cheri Pi: Read this the other day FB3: dangerousminds.net...
	10:05am Cheri Pi: Yes it's a cover.
	10:05am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Nice article reminded me!
	10:05am Cheri Pi: innit?
	10:05am braveness23: dunno, CP: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:06am Cheri Pi: Oh so it's a sharesy!
	10:06am Joe McG: In light of Roy Harper news, I decided not to play "Well Fancy That."
	10:07am Cheri Pi: Self Control!
	10:07am Matt from Springfield: Ah, it was written by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall together! Jane took it to her band first (the Go-Gos was '81), and Terry took it to his band second in '83. "Cover" in the sense of already released, though it is by an original writer. A "sharesy"! Iiiiiii LIKE it Cheri! :)
	10:07am mick fang: Elastic is such a rad tune
	10:07am PKNY: Yeah, it's not a cover, since the song was co-written by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall when they were on the downlow when the Specials and the Go-Go's toured together.
	10:08am Cheri Pi: no way, there was romance???@pkny?
	10:09am pgw in mntclr: Terry Hall is pretty great.
	10:09am PKNY: @Cheri - that's what the Wikipedia page says. Which makes complete sense, when you analyze the lyrics.
	10:10am PKNY: More info here --> www.songfacts.com...
	10:12am Cheri Pi: Glad I didn't know about it then, my teenage heart would have been broken and very disapointed.
	10:12am braveness23: this UT is sick!
	10:13am Guido (Cologne): UT were one of my fave mid-80ies groups. Listening to their records in retrospect after 25 years it souded like an "embryonic Sleater Kinney practicing" to me. Great track, never heard.
	10:13am earrie: @1259/Joe And accented to 'C'était' ? 'It was.' 'La serre' is a new French word to me. Oo ah.
	10:14am Matt from Springfield: TRIO!
	10:14am Cecile: Trio! Deep cut!
	10:15am Guido (Cologne): You should seek out TRIO @ Rockpalast for a really great live performance. It really shows what great group they were.
	10:16am Cheri Pi: Total deep cut! Forget Da Da Da!
	10:16am Joe McG: That's the A side, extended!
	10:16am Cecile: they were pure rock 'n' roll. Stripped down!
	10:17am Cecile: OK, this needs to be covered for Hoof and Mouth.
	10:17am Cecile: hahahahahaha The Village People's New Romantic album.
	10:18am braveness23: I used to have an impressive collection of 7" covers of Da Da Da in many different languages. Was never too impressed with the song but it was fun to hear it done so many different ways in so many languages
	10:18am Guido (Cologne): Take in consideration that musicians of TRIO had a prog-rock-past.
	10:18am Joe McG: Should I play the entire Village People "fast food" triptych?
	10:19am common: joe. Yes please!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Is this dedicated to FMU's Saturday DJ?
	10:19am Lewis: looks like I got here just in time!
	10:19am Matt from Springfield: A VP "triptych" of fast food??! :)
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Oh sorry I was hearing Bill Mac.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that goes out to Big Bill Mac!
	10:20am Matt from Springfield: They are getting "ready for the 80s"... @Brian: Hells yeah! :D
	10:20am Guido (Cologne): ... and some versions of "things go better with Coca Cola" ...
	10:20am fred: @Guido: I saw earlier this year. I don't know if they're active and touring or if it was a special on-off event
	10:20am PKNY: That "Big Mac" was one semi-distorted guitar away from being a Loverboy song.
	10:20am common: thanks joe!
	10:21am Joe McG: @common: You twisted my arm! ha ha
	10:21am braveness23: <facepalm> this song is ... special
	10:21am Roberto: Oh my. How could this possibly have escaped my attention until now?
	10:21am Cecile: You should play Skin and Bones by the Kinks as an answer song.
	10:22am Cecile: this is like six kinds of horrible
	10:22am Guido (Cologne): @fred : I mean this performance here (!982) www.youtube.com...
	10:22am PKNY: If only the New Romantic Village People knew that about the health/food issues we'd have these days...or maybe they did...
	10:22am Cheri Pi: This is not the first time I've "indulged" in this song.
	10:23am Matt from Springfield: Joe McG, leading the later-Village People revival on WFMU! "The late period tracks you love, by the mediocre artists you tolerate"!
	10:23am Joe McG: One more in the triptych!
	10:23am Cecile: guido, I will have to set time aside to enjoy this concert.
	10:23am PKNY: After this, I'll need to go on a "Diet" diet.
	10:23am Cecile: this sounds like the Surf Punks.
	10:24am Roberto: Holy mother of crap...New Wave Village People
	10:24am Cheri Pi: Pardon me while I pogo dance.
	10:24am Matt from Springfield: Oh! I've heard this one--I think BT's played the single for SGS week. He was focused mainly on the VP trying to be "punk" aspect.
	10:24am PKNY: If you have told me this morning that I'd be listening to a post-disco-era VP rock block, I wouldn't have believed it.
	10:25am common: Ha!
	10:25am Chris M.: what is this, the soundtrack of Revenge of the Nerds?
	10:26am Cecile: Dr. Venture!
	10:26am PKNY: Man, the VP look for this era is next level --> upload.wikimedia.org...
	10:26am Matt from Springfield: Ha, Chris! Now I can imagine the VP, performing THIS, dressed as the Revenge of the Nerds finale!
	10:26am Cecile: Dr Venture? Ancient Dr. Venture?
	10:27am braveness23: Here is my intro music again. Joe, what is it?
	10:27am Matt from Springfield: @PKNY: That's what's great about listening to FMU, any prophecies of what you will be hearing will sound utterly incredulous! :)
	10:28am Glenn M: Good morning
	10:29am Cecile: yes, they are!!
	10:29am Cecile: please do!
	10:30am Cecile: 1981
	10:32am KP: I'm going to buy your Bobbi Gentry collection at the Fair.
	10:33am Mike East: dang, just missed James Urbaniak. I like that guy
	10:33am bobdoesthings: whats this backing track joe?
	👻 10:33am tim from champaign: Damn, I take off my earphones for about 15 minutes and I missed all sorts of mayhem.
	10:34am Guido (Cologne): Bobby Gentry is cool. Dig "Delta Sweete" and "Local Gentry", wonderful albums!
	10:35am Matt from Springfield: LIKE!! :D
	10:35am Joe McG: @bobdoesthings: It's "L'arcidiavolo" by Armondo Tiovaioil. Or close to that!
	10:36am Joe McG: @KP: Not for sale!
	10:36am tony: Jasper Carrott ! Really???
	10:36am bobdoesthings: Cool thanks!
	10:36am Tiago: not really worth knowing but here: http://www.jaspercarrott.com/
	10:37am Matt from Springfield: How the hell have I NOT heard of Jasper Carrott until now! I must look more into him! "Jasper Carrott, OBE" no less!
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Note that Birmingham accent.
	10:37am northguineahills: Ok, this Jasper Carrott works for me, oddly enough....
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, Tiago!
	10:38am duke: Is Jasper Carrot any relation to Carrot Top
	10:38am Cecile: in a pie.
	10:38am braveness23: Jeez, this show is making my hungry...
	10:38am slater: Sweet Potato! We had this single when I was a kid and I've been looking for it for years!
	10:39am Matt from Springfield: "The B-side of this single was a risqué monologue parodying the animated children's TV series The Magic Roundabout. This track was banned by the BBC, which is widely believed to have contributed to the single's commercial success, which in turn, ironically, led to his appearance on the BBC's Top of the Pops."
	10:39am PKNY: The "Sweet Potato" is tasty! Kinda reminds me of Tommy Roe, especially in the way they give the drummer some.
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Carrot made a short guest appearance at Cropredy this year.
	10:40am Cecile: this sounds like Tommy Roe doing Jesus rock.
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: Is there a theme here, Joe.
	10:40am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: So is that how they talk in the West Midlands? Which accent do you describe as having?
	10:41am Joe McG: @Brian: LYes, I guess I'm hungry.
	10:43am Guido (Cologne): I first thought this must be a Chuck Jackson outing. But for sure it's from the bacharach/David-workbench.
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: @Matt that is Midlands. West Midlands, like Dudley & Black Country are atypical Midlands accents that people overhere like to take the pi.. out of most of all. It is not the most attractive of accents. Robert Plants is not very obvious.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Guido: Right on the money, sir.
	10:45am Matt from Springfield: Wow, Susan sounds a bit like Linda Ronstadt, with an extra spoonful of country added to the voice.
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: My accent is from the sarf. Around Lunnon. Though ofcouse one is well spoken. I went to skool in Harrow.
	10:45am braveness23: This guy she's singing about sounds like a real turd. Next time my lady shakes her fist at me I'm gonna play this song for her and show her how bad it COULD be
	10:47am Matt from Springfield: Robert Plant probably toned down his accent once he started to make it big. Ah, a "Southern"er! And one is ever well-spoken, even well-typéd, on these playlists :)
	👻 10:47am tim from champaign: Yup, b23, that'll go over well. Your ladies gonna play "Fist City" next.
	10:47am Cecile: wow. this has not gotten better over time.
	10:48am Joe McG: It makes sense that Jeff Lynne would produce Jasper Carrott. They're both from Birmingham. Home boys!
	👻 10:48am tim from champaign: Uh. "lady's" not "ladies".
	10:48am braveness23: Thanks Tim, I need people like you to tell me when my brilliant ideas aren't so brilliant.
	👻 10:49am tim from champaign: Trust me, b23, I have a lot of brilliant ideas myself.
	10:49am northguineahills: Speaking of accents, when I moved to NYC, everyone told me I had a (US) Southern accent, which I never noticed before. Now I have coworkers that assume I'm a native NYer. It still takes about 3 days back in the homeland for my accent to come back.
	10:50am PKNY: Pretty Purdie, nice! BTW, what's the B-side of that 45?
	10:50am Matt from Springfield: Finnish group Pepe Deluxe had a song from 2003 "Lying Peacefully" with a real retro-soul sound. Their main organ riff is virtually the same as this "Song for Aretha"!
	10:50am Joe McG: @PKNY: I have a promo copy, so it's the same on both sides, one mono. What a record! I didn't think to bring any Aretha to follow up with. Duh!
	10:50am slater: @NGH: me too
	10:51am Matt from Springfield: That's okay Joe, it means that Single File is truly "random" and not at all planned! :)
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: Sabbath, Move, Plant, Second City Sound. Birmingham did fall twixt London & Liverpool never had a distinctive sound.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Matt: Rarely, anyway. I should plan it a bit more, maybe! But I like the happy accidents I don't notice.
	👻 10:53am Brian in UK: Ofcouse the Moody Blues as well.
	10:53am Matt from Springfield: @NGH: To NYCers, any FL accent might seem "Southern". But do you think your accent was Southern, like old-school Northern FL? Some of my ancestors were old-school interior of FL, very Southern at that time.
	10:54am PKNY: @Joe - Thanks for the info! I have the repress of the PP album w/ "Aretha", was just curious if there was a non-LP side on the flip.
	10:54am braveness23: Holy cow, I need some platform boots with goldfish in the heels
	10:55am Joe McG: @PKNY: I'll check Discogs in a minute and see!
	10:55am Matt from Springfield: Black beans & rice! Coconut Groove it!
	10:56am Joe McG: @PKNY: Hey, it's not there! Let me know if you find out.
	10:56am Mike East: oh man, they're using the conference room behind my office as a makeup room today and blasting the most awful modern music. I think I heard someone say it was Kesha. Gonna have to crank the ol' computer speakers today
	10:57am Joe McG: You go, Mike!
	10:58am Joe McG: Has anyone ever seen the movie "Making It"?
	10:58am Matt from Springfield: NOT to be confused with David Naughton's theme from "Makin' It", the short-lived 8 episode disco sitcom that preceded his one pop hit.
	10:58am Cecile: wow this is six kinds of train wreck.
	10:59am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's like bad Neil Diamond! All good!
	👻 10:59am tim from champaign: Nope, was it a Midnght Cowboy knockoff?
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @Matt at a stretch you could say that my avatar photograph was taken in the West Midlands, strictly Worcercestershire. At Shelsley Walsh, the oldest auto racing venue in the world, during the centennary in 2005.
	10:59am northguineahills: @Matt: I had a light Florigia accent w/ some remnant WVisms (My mom still has a noticeable WV accent). In HS, and even college, I had a few friends w/ much heavier accents. One my old pals was Lebanese, and had a thick southern drawl.
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: SLACKS
	11:00am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	11:01am Cheri Pi: killer!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hell they dropped the slacks. Tee Hee.
	11:01am efd: Yay Sunset Bombers!
	11:01am Matt from Springfield: Yes, "bad Neil Diamond"! "Schoolgirl, you're a womannnn..." ;)
	11:01am PKNY: @Joe - found this link, it's appears there a 45 from Pretty Purdie w/ "Aretha" on the flip, the A side is an album cut: www.discogs.com...
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Reg would turn in his corn circle.
	11:02am Matt from Springfield: EFD Seal of Approval!
	11:02am braveness23: A colleague IM'd me to tell me he had 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' stuck in his head for no particular reason. At that moment I realized that I was listening to The Village People signing 'Diet' and had absolutely no grounds for making fun of him...
	11:02am Joe McG: @efd: Hey, EFD, how do you say "UT"? Is it "uht,", "oot," or "U.T."?
	11:02am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: 1905, probably the earliest car race still going on indeed.
	11:03am efd: oof, good question! I say "you tee," but I don't know if that's correct.
	11:05am efd: Joe, are you not going to reveal the Fun Fact™ about the Sunset Bombers?
	11:08am Cecile: yes it is.
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: It is French originally
	11:08am fred: @Joe: I can't remember exactly how they said it when I saw them this year, but it was definitely not "U.T.". They explained it was supposed to be the note
	11:09am Mike Noble: I don't think the 9 train exists anymore.
	11:10am northguineahills: I use my A/C fan for white noise, but it doesn't blow on my bed.
	11:11am SheWolf: I use this one Joe. It's rad. youtu.be...
	11:11am Ike: I use a vaporizer instead of a sleep machine. It makes nice bubbly noises plus it humidifies. Fairly quiet though, may not be loud enough for especially loud neighbors.
	11:11am northguineahills: I'm not so much into the dirty stuff, says Joe who played one dirty-ass set last friday on GTDS stream last Friday.
	11:12am listener 108365: regarding sleep machines, when my brother was young and got used to sleeping with the oscillating fan my father removed the fan blades in the winter
	11:12am Mike Noble: I think it disappeared 8 years ago. I miss the Upper Manhattan skip stops.
	11:13am Mike Noble: I'm now imagining the last 9 train (with passengers) vanishing into a Bermuda tunnel, returning only to haunt the living.
	11:13am herb.nyc: wow, joe said OLD WFMU T-SHIRTS, and CHEAP, at the record fair. wait, i have too many tee's. but maybe you don't!! (i love wearing my UPSALA tee that has MOSES holding 2 tablets / radios and coming down the mountain.) (right, no 9 train anymore. the MTA runs 1 trains at 9x the usual frequency instead. not!)
	11:13am Joe McG: Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! I'm going to check 'em out. @ngh: Yeah, it was a little dirty! [embarrassed now, in a sober frame of mind]
	11:14am bobdoesthings: The Lost Passengers of the 9 Train
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: Yes, Bardo Pond! I love them. I've send them only twice. But each time I saw them they lifted my spirits immensely. Joe, I have an air purifier that seems to create some nice white noise for sleeping.
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: If you can think of the brand, let me know.
	11:14am earrie: And comfy: - silicone earplugs you diy mold-- like this http://mnresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Swimming-Ear-plugs.jpg
	11:15am Cheri Pi: Sweet! new Bardo Pond and the artwork is screaming for the gif treatment.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe, get plastered.
	11:16am earrie: or shape them sorta like these: http://www.audiosculpt.com.au/earplug-colors%20copy.png
	11:16am Joe McG: @earrie: Interesting! I have some industrial earplugs my brother in law gave me, but believe it or not, they're not enough. @Brian: Old world solutions are the best ones!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Cheri: Yes, nekkid gals on this one.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe, hi everyone.
	11:18am βrian: This is what I imagine solar flares sound like. They are lapping at my ears.
	11:18am pgw in mntclr: as a former resident of the philly metro area, i use to go see bardo pond quite often. i think the first time was them opening for velocity girl (and completely freaking out unsuspecting VG fans).
	11:19am KP: I saw "Making It." What about it. It wasn't that memorable, as I remember.
	👻 11:19am tim from champaign: @Joe - It's a Holmes brand air purifier with HEPA filter. Looking online, similar models all have serial numbers that start with HAP7.
	11:19am Mike East: silicone from GE is unquestionably...the answer
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: This would actually go nice with "Solar Motel," but I forgot to put that one in the cart. @KP: What was it about again?
	11:19am Matt from Springfield: Heya Carm.
	11:20am earrie: The soft silicones are worth a shot. I think industrial ones are built for protection more than silence. I tried a range and these were the ones that worked.
	👻 11:20am tim from champaign: Perfect description, brian.
	11:23am KP: I live over the FDR, there 's some noise canceling for you.
	11:23am braveness23: While we are talking about all this stuff, anyone have any recommendations for a humidifier? I have a 110 year old brick house with radiant heat. I run a room humidifier all night long but when I wake up the humidity in the room is still only around 38% (in the winter). My throat and sinuses are dry as corn flakes. I occasionally do a netti pot. It makes me feel much better but I hate the process.
	11:25am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: This Yo La Tengo is cribbing my thoughts.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: I am completely lost what everyone is writing about. Loving the music though.
	11:28am Mike East: aw man, deluxe "Fade" - I didn't know about dat.
	11:29am Joe McG: @Mike: It's nice! Some live tracks, some unreleased songs, and even "I Saw the Light," which they did for Michael Shelley's premium a couple of years ago.
	11:29am βrian: @Brian in UK: It's the iridescent vector that provides the insight. Just tweak your fathomizer to the left, and it will all make sense.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Thank you central scrutinizer.
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Back to Jimmie Haskell's California '99 then.
	11:35am northguineahills: I just picked up Universal Consciousness at record store in Brooklyn for $10 last week.
	11:36am Matt from Springfield: All pervasive! Where's this Laraaji from?
	11:37am Joe McG: @Matt: From Brian Eno's house!
	11:37am pgw in mntclr: that hammered dulcimer/cimbalom sound is always great
	11:38am Guido (Cologne): This Laraaji track made me wanna hear Kaki King's "Bowen Island".
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: And Harold Budd lives next door.
	11:39am Cheri Pi: Yiu are killing it today JMcG!
	11:39am βrian: I have a Harold Budd CD I haven't listened to in eons. Gotta fix that...
	11:40am Joe McG: @cheri: Thanks, CP, havin' fun, as ever!
	11:40am Matt from Springfield: Ah, Brian Eno! And Harold Budd, coincidentally (or not!) right after.
	11:41am Cecile: Joe, you just wish you had a penthouse apartment with an egg chair, orange shag carpeting and a top-of-the-line Marantz stereo.
	11:42am Joe McG: Damn, Barry White would've sounded great after this. I forgot to bring "White Gold," which I had put aside! [hits forehead]
	👻 11:42am tim from champaign: Death Wish soundtrack is really good.
	11:43am Whosondephone: Very Nice! Keep it coming Baby!
	11:45am earrie: Like a sandwich w/ instrumental bread.
	11:49am Greg from Bloomfield: DID YOU KNOW that Christopher Guest is the cop at the end of Death Wish? IT'S A FACT!
	11:51am Joe McG: Nice trivia, Greg!
	11:52am pgw in mntclr: whenever i need a good laugh, i watch a clip of the last scene of "death wish 4"
	11:52am Cecile: maaaaaac
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign: There's a Mac Davis Blvd in Lubbock, TX.
	11:53am Cecile: my parents loved his variety show
	11:54am KP: Making it was about a hot shot high school kid deducing a girl then realizing life is not all fun and games. It was not great
	11:54am common: pgw: what do you think about death wish 3? Hiiiiilarious!
	11:54am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh my GOD. Mac Davis. I always immediately think of him on the Muppet Show, singing "Don't Get Hooked on Me" while sitting on a giant fish hook.
	11:55am KP: SEDUCING! Damn you spell check!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Jennique: That's hysterically funny! I have to see that.
	11:56am Matt from Springfield: Bobbie Gentry, always a treat! Always something dark in her music, too.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks joe! for the wonderful soundtrack while cooking for dj icepack's birthday party!!
	11:57am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think I remember that episode because Miss Piggy was falling all over him. Here's the youtube link: www.youtube.com...
	11:57am northguineahills: Awesome stuff, Joe!
	11:58am pgw in mntclr: Bobbie is so good.
	11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week, and enjoy your Thanksgiving! Bill Zurat next week! Bye!
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: 'till the next time.
	👻 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday, DJ Icepack. My dad would've been 81 today. RIP
	11:58am Cecile: Bettye Lavette is still pissed at Bobbie that she had a hit with "He Made a Woman out of me". I think Bettye's is the better versrion, but still. Bobbie didn't get to serenade the Who at the Kennedy Center.
	11:58am Lewis: There for a moment I had a flash of Lee Hazelwood producing Bobby Gentry...
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am pgw in mntclr: you too! great show!!
	11:58am Matt from Springfield: Bill Zurat AGAIN! Sweet! Thanks so much for a wonderful show, Joe! Have a great Thursday everybody! Happy Thanksgiving!
	11:59am Cecile: my mom had the hots for Mac
	12:00pm Matt from Springfield: 34 CD Herbie BOX! That's comprehensive, to say the least! Just insert CD 1, and keep on going! ;)
	12:00pm pgw in mntclr: going to youtube for "death wish 3" clips
	5:50pm Joe McG: In case anyone is wondering, the fun fact that EFD was referring to (and that I failed to mention) is that Doug Fieger of the Knack played bass in the Sunset Bombers!
	7:19pm tony: A little mistake with title "Getait un Beau Dimanche" it's "C'était un beau dimanche"
	9:05am Joe McG: Thanks, Tony! The print on that CD is very hard to read; all the "C"s look like "G"s.
