	9:36am P-90.: Good Morning DJ Sheila B!
	9:38am Marcel M: Modern Art singer seems very Eno influenced.
	9:40am Joe McG: @Marcel: Now that you say it, I can hear it! I feel like a lot of those early 80s British vocalists were into Eno or Bowie as their vocal models.
	9:40am annie: this "Circle Game" makes me sigh and smile
	9:42am Wild Neil: She does a good job of covering Joni Mitchell...

	9:43am Cecile: joe, not a feel. TRUTH.

	9:50am djsheilab: @Joe McG So nice of you to say....thanks! I just couldn't resist singing along :) Morning @P-90!
	👻 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila. Have you de-stressed after your unpleasant airline landing experience? I hope so. I hate when that happens.
	9:54am Joe McG: @marcel: Yes, it's my summer of live music. In September I'm going to tell them all to stay home. Speaking of which, I forgot to say: BRIGID MAE POWER in the 3rd hour!
	👻 9:56am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	9:56am Jeff Golick: Very excited for this Betty Davis discovery/new release.
	9:58am coelacanth: this Lyn Collins is sublime.
	9:59am coelacanth: ...and good morning Joe and others
	9:59am lloyd michigan: Was Betty Davis the one with that amazing lp cover photo?
	10:00am Joe McG: @lloyd: She has several! I figure you're thinking of "They Say I'm Different" or "Nasty Gal."
	10:02am lloyd michigan: I think it was TSID. Very leggy.
	10:04am lloyd michigan: Yep. That's the one I was thinking of.
	👻 10:09am tadpoles: The Peace .. great stereo vocal Joe. Cheers
	10:12am djsheilab: @Ken from Hyde Park I have indeed recovered. Thank you for asking :) This New York "heat dome" is doing quite a number on people and planes!
	10:14am Joe McG: @djsheilab: "Heat dome" makes me laugh so much!
	10:15am Cecile: Sheila, how was Alan Parsons Project?
	10:16am herb.nyc: hi all. i've been meaning to read a book about Stiff Records. can someone recommend a good one? and Jake Riviera, how do you pronounce his last name? 3or4 syllables? thx.
	10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe #1 & all!
	10:18am Cheri Pi: Th' Council!
	10:18am lloyd michigan: https://www.amazon.com/Be-Stiff-Records-Story/dp/0957570066/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469456293&sr=1-1&keywords=stiff+records
	10:19am Joe McG: @herb: I think Evan had on a fellow who wrote one. Check Evan's archives. I have some ancient thing called "The Story of a Label" that came out in 1982 by a guy named Bert Muirhead. I like it a lot, but I don't know if it's in print.
	10:19am P-90.: Style Council, now that's a blast from the past!
	10:20am βrian: Shiddy Diddy, and good morning.
	10:23am Joe McG: Doesn't this song sound humid?
	10:23am herb.nyc: i remember that show, Joe, thx (but don't remember book title). i figure that is the book to go with. i'm feeling nostalgic; maybe i'll reread my photocopy of "the boy looked at johnny".
	10:23am herb.nyc: (aside - anyone going to Toxic Comedy on friday? i intend to but i may wanna buy a hazmat suit first.)
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: @herb: I'm going fer sure—sounds like a good time.
	10:26am βrian: A bit cooler, at last, on the isthmus. A high of only 85. Hopefully, that's it for the monsoon, too.
	10:29am herb.nyc: vg Greg/Z5. ---- i just remembered, i saw THE STYLE COUNCIL at sitdown venue in midtown manhattan (name?), LETS ACTIVE opened. i've no memories of it, glug. i know i enjoyed.
	10:31am ChrisB.: The Stiff Records Story by Richard Balls. I've read it and it's quite good.
	10:32am djsheilab: I just noticed your comment next to the Lynn Collins record. HAHAHA!! Love it!
	10:32am Joe McG: @djsb: :)
	10:33am Marc Francis: Wonky!
	10:33am Jeff Golick: Feeling a tad seasick.
	10:34am Guido from Cologne: extra badly centered single?
	10:34am Whosondephone: What's going on in there?
	10:34am ChrisB.: Sounds like a flexi-disc.
	10:35am Guido from Cologne: dd how bad this can be done. I have a Derek & The Dominos single on Atlantic which is absurd.
	👻 10:36am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, just got a new sound system for a birthday present, kept the deck from the old one, twenty year old JVC. New one is a Denon. Sounds good.
	10:36am Guido from Cologne: I meant "odd" Hello Joe! (by the way must say hello)
	10:37am Joe McG: Congrats, Brian! Hey, Guido! Sorry for the seasickness, all.
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Hello Guido, what is the atmosphere like over your way after Friday?
	10:40am Guido from Cologne: warm and moist. relatively cloudy but not raining.
	10:40am Mark the Sardine: Michael Caine?
	10:41am pierre: this New Musik is making me think about the Yellow Pills compilation released by Numero Group years ago… Powerpop jangly things
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: Rich Hall's alter ego Otis Lee Crenshaw was married seven times every wife was called Brenda.
	10:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:43am Joe McG: @Brian: I've never even met a Brenda!
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHOA, missed the New Musik single. I once had their tune "this world of water" from the same LP stuck in my head for decades. Now perhaps it's back...
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Our next door neighbour is called Brenda. She has never been married to Otis.
	10:45am Cecile: Yellow Pills was the fanzine and brainchild of St Louis's Jordan Oakes.
	10:47am Cecile: it looks like he had a lot to do with the comp but he and Numero had a falling out at some point.
	10:49am pierre: ah, I didn't know that @Cecile, where did you find this infos ?
	10:50am Joe McG: @Brian: I've never known an Otis, either.
	10:50am steve: big yay for Ring My Bell
	10:51am Cecile: I knew about Jordan Oakes cause I have some Pills comps and zines, and he used to post on the Power Pop board on AOL 20 years or so ago. I saw the article about the fallout when I googled him to see if he was involved in that comp.
	👻 10:51am Brian in UK: You got me there Joe, only known of Otis'. Did know an Anita at skool.
	10:51am herb.nyc: since you mentioned Evan, Joe, Evan played this "ring my bell" song on one of his recent Disco Extravaganzas!
	10:51am Joe McG: I hope you all enjoyed that somewhat disturbing segueway.
	10:52am melinda: Thanks for playing this Joe. Didn't recognize it at first.
	10:52am Jeff Golick: Joe, those are the best kinds.
	10:53am Cecile: here's the link: www.riverfronttimes.com... Also? with a lot of those power pop comps, the lyrics creep me the hell out. I used to say that Shoes could be darker then a goth band.
	10:54am Joe McG: @jeff g.: You have a good soul!
	10:55am Joe McG: As a side note, "Quittin' just ain't my schtick" may be one of my all-time favorite lyrics.
	10:56am fred: Wow, that Ring My Bell track was featured in my elementary school birthday parties. Not sure I heard it much since then
	10:57am annie: swag!!!!! on the front porch a month early!! woot!
	10:58am Cecile: annie! awesome! maybe mine will be here soon...
	10:58am annie: i'm so excited... the black hoodie is awesome!
	10:59am herb.nyc: me wait for swag too; i so wanna see pix of Ken F being roped by a bear!
	10:59am herb.nyc: Dave Hill told us a "meeting Barry White" story; you have one, Joe?
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @annie that will put a swagger in your stride.
	11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Barry just pulled off a sexy version of the "A Day In The Life" crescendo. Respect.
	11:01am Joe McG: We're still sending almost every day, folks, so thanks for your patience.... @herb: I sure would have liked to have met Barry White. No wonder Dave gets all the ladies.
	11:01am annie: rats!!! the band-name generator is not in there.. emialing you, joe.
	11:01am BennettCap: Quittin' ain't my schtick either, Joe. Westward.
	11:01am Marcel M: I can attest to that. Was a mad house over there on Friday.
	11:01am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! Glad I tuned in in time for the B-side sax solo!
	11:02am Wild Neil: WOW Northern Soul records are going for a LOT of money. WOW.
	11:06am annie: FMU rocks; all the packages were so carefully and lovingly packed!
	11:09am herb.nyc: did i hear correctly: attendees get paid $5 to attend Toxic Comedy? (haha)
	11:11am herb.nyc: (in Theremin news, wnyc had a segment earlier today on how that technology inspired automated toll payments. and how theremin's inventor led a crazy life, going from russia to u.s. and a., and then back again.)
	11:12am adrian in mpls: excited to hear this session!
	11:17am Joe McG: Brigid Mae Power: brigidmaepower.com
	11:20am fred: @herb: I remember seeing Radio Eris in the basement of a bar in Paris. Because of different voltage standards, the guy who played the Theremin would occasionally get shocked, though he soldiered on. Not a good memory, especially with such nice people
	11:20am herb.nyc: Brigid sounds really really good; thanks for the introductions, Joe.
	11:22am herb.nyc: (aside to "ring my bell" - my french amie Emmanuelle just emailed me, after i told her that Joe played song: memories in France, Normandy. Summer time and my best girlfriend and I used to go to the summer fair held by the beach in August. I remember a particular summer (I was probably 15), when we had an interest in some boys, and we would meet them at the fair, and hang out at the bumper cars ride where this song was playing. Each time I hear this track, I remember it. )
	11:22am fred: As usual, her tour doesn't stop nearby. I don't blame her, but I'm still disappointed
	11:22am Joe McG: You bet, Herb. I love these versions because they are so unadorned.
	11:22am herb.nyc: Brigid reminds me of Sharon Van Etten.
	11:23am Joe McG: @fred: She will be touring more in the new year, I believe. This fall she tours Japan.
	11:24am Wild Neil: Brigid has a LOVELY voice. WOW!
	11:24am fred: @herb.nyc: Even better! Sharon Van Etten live has a fierce side that doesn't always come through on records
	11:26am fred: @Joe: the way I've kept up with shows lately, chances are she played next door last week
	11:27am lloyd michigan: Otis was the custodian in our fraternity house. Nicest guy in the world.
	11:27am annie: there's a busker at the Earth Fare whose voice is slightly higher in pitch than this, i love her singing but her repetoire includes 10 songs, maybe. this is too close to comfort for me, though i do like it.
	11:31am herb.nyc: @Fred - i've seen Sharon perform a few times, and yr right. (first time i saw her was at Union Hall, she opened for Neal Halstead. friend and i knew nothing of her but i did see her name mentioned in a few places. i was really wowed by her and my friend liked too. then i last saw her at Town Hall, and she had a pretty dress on and was in top form. it was her father's birthday and when i saw him in the audience, post-show, i complimented him on her talents.)
	11:33am Whosondephone: The vocal is to close/loud. It's making the performance sound awkward
	11:36am Joe McG: I beg to differ, Whosondephone.
	11:36am Brendan: Thanks for for this BMP, Joe. This music commands my full attention and rewards it in spades.
	11:38am fred: @Whosondephone: I just differ, no begging involved
	11:38am Wild Neil: Sounds intimate to me, and I am SUPER PICKY about sound.
	11:39am Joe McG: You bet, Brendan, I'm glad you enjoyed it! In a week or two, these songs will be on the FMA, too.
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice performance. FMA headed to 200,000!
	11:41am Whosondephone: I was struggling with the Samsung keyboard. The last track sounded great.
	11:46am Whosondephone: Incredible performance.
	11:47am Joe McG: Glad you enjoyed it, Whosondephone!
	11:47am fred: My Lagan Love is such a wonderful song
	11:48am Dean: Marni Nixon, RIP.
	11:49am Michael 98145: what fred said
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting. Hope you all have a good week!
	11:55am Marc Francis: Thanks for the beautiful music, Joe!
	11:55am adrian in mpls: Thanks Joe!
	11:56am Joe McG: OH, and stay tuned for Vicki Peterson of the Bangles on the Three Chord Monte!
	11:57am annie: thanks for anther great show joe!
	11:57am P-90.: Thanks Joe McG, great show as usual. very nice live set (the quality of the engineering of these FMU live sets is astonishingly consistent. It's like you guys have your own little Abbey Road there.) Have a great week. See you next Yip Yip Time.
	11:59am Marcel M: Thanks Joe!
	5:53pm Joe McG: By the way, here's some video of Brigid performing in Monty Hall: www.youtube.com...

	10:04am lloyd michigan: Yep. That's the one I was thinking of.
	👻 10:09am tadpoles: The Peace .. great stereo vocal Joe. Cheers
	10:12am djsheilab: @Ken from Hyde Park I have indeed recovered. Thank you for asking :) This New York "heat dome" is doing quite a number on people and planes!
	10:14am Joe McG: @djsheilab: "Heat dome" makes me laugh so much!
	10:15am Cecile: Sheila, how was Alan Parsons Project?
	10:16am herb.nyc: hi all. i've been meaning to read a book about Stiff Records. can someone recommend a good one? and Jake Riviera, how do you pronounce his last name? 3or4 syllables? thx.
	10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe #1 & all!
	10:18am Cheri Pi: Th' Council!
	10:18am lloyd michigan: https://www.amazon.com/Be-Stiff-Records-Story/dp/0957570066/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469456293&sr=1-1&keywords=stiff+records
	10:19am Joe McG: @herb: I think Evan had on a fellow who wrote one. Check Evan's archives. I have some ancient thing called "The Story of a Label" that came out in 1982 by a guy named Bert Muirhead. I like it a lot, but I don't know if it's in print.
	10:19am P-90.: Style Council, now that's a blast from the past!
	10:20am βrian: Shiddy Diddy, and good morning.
	10:23am Joe McG: Doesn't this song sound humid?
	10:23am herb.nyc: i remember that show, Joe, thx (but don't remember book title). i figure that is the book to go with. i'm feeling nostalgic; maybe i'll reread my photocopy of "the boy looked at johnny".
	10:23am herb.nyc: (aside - anyone going to Toxic Comedy on friday? i intend to but i may wanna buy a hazmat suit first.)
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: @herb: I'm going fer sure—sounds like a good time.
	10:26am βrian: A bit cooler, at last, on the isthmus. A high of only 85. Hopefully, that's it for the monsoon, too.
	10:29am herb.nyc: vg Greg/Z5. ---- i just remembered, i saw THE STYLE COUNCIL at sitdown venue in midtown manhattan (name?), LETS ACTIVE opened. i've no memories of it, glug. i know i enjoyed.
	10:31am ChrisB.: The Stiff Records Story by Richard Balls. I've read it and it's quite good.
	10:32am djsheilab: I just noticed your comment next to the Lynn Collins record. HAHAHA!! Love it!
	10:32am Joe McG: @djsb: :)
	10:33am Marc Francis: Wonky!
	10:33am Jeff Golick: Feeling a tad seasick.
	10:34am Guido from Cologne: extra badly centered single?
	10:34am Whosondephone: What's going on in there?
	10:34am ChrisB.: Sounds like a flexi-disc.
	10:35am Guido from Cologne: dd how bad this can be done. I have a Derek & The Dominos single on Atlantic which is absurd.
	👻 10:36am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, just got a new sound system for a birthday present, kept the deck from the old one, twenty year old JVC. New one is a Denon. Sounds good.
	10:36am Guido from Cologne: I meant "odd" Hello Joe! (by the way must say hello)
	10:37am Joe McG: Congrats, Brian! Hey, Guido! Sorry for the seasickness, all.
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Hello Guido, what is the atmosphere like over your way after Friday?
	10:40am Guido from Cologne: warm and moist. relatively cloudy but not raining.
	10:40am Mark the Sardine: Michael Caine?
	10:41am pierre: this New Musik is making me think about the Yellow Pills compilation released by Numero Group years ago… Powerpop jangly things
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: Rich Hall's alter ego Otis Lee Crenshaw was married seven times every wife was called Brenda.
	10:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:43am Joe McG: @Brian: I've never even met a Brenda!
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHOA, missed the New Musik single. I once had their tune "this world of water" from the same LP stuck in my head for decades. Now perhaps it's back...
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Our next door neighbour is called Brenda. She has never been married to Otis.
	10:45am Cecile: Yellow Pills was the fanzine and brainchild of St Louis's Jordan Oakes.
	10:47am Cecile: it looks like he had a lot to do with the comp but he and Numero had a falling out at some point.
	10:49am pierre: ah, I didn't know that @Cecile, where did you find this infos ?
	10:50am Joe McG: @Brian: I've never known an Otis, either.
	10:50am steve: big yay for Ring My Bell
	10:51am Cecile: I knew about Jordan Oakes cause I have some Pills comps and zines, and he used to post on the Power Pop board on AOL 20 years or so ago. I saw the article about the fallout when I googled him to see if he was involved in that comp.
	👻 10:51am Brian in UK: You got me there Joe, only known of Otis'. Did know an Anita at skool.
	10:51am herb.nyc: since you mentioned Evan, Joe, Evan played this "ring my bell" song on one of his recent Disco Extravaganzas!
	10:51am Joe McG: I hope you all enjoyed that somewhat disturbing segueway.
	10:52am melinda: Thanks for playing this Joe. Didn't recognize it at first.
	10:52am Jeff Golick: Joe, those are the best kinds.
	10:53am Cecile: here's the link: www.riverfronttimes.com... Also? with a lot of those power pop comps, the lyrics creep me the hell out. I used to say that Shoes could be darker then a goth band.
	10:54am Joe McG: @jeff g.: You have a good soul!
	10:55am Joe McG: As a side note, "Quittin' just ain't my schtick" may be one of my all-time favorite lyrics.
	10:56am fred: Wow, that Ring My Bell track was featured in my elementary school birthday parties. Not sure I heard it much since then
	10:57am annie: swag!!!!! on the front porch a month early!! woot!
	10:58am Cecile: annie! awesome! maybe mine will be here soon...
	10:58am annie: i'm so excited... the black hoodie is awesome!
	10:59am herb.nyc: me wait for swag too; i so wanna see pix of Ken F being roped by a bear!
	10:59am herb.nyc: Dave Hill told us a "meeting Barry White" story; you have one, Joe?
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @annie that will put a swagger in your stride.
	11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Barry just pulled off a sexy version of the "A Day In The Life" crescendo. Respect.
	11:01am Joe McG: We're still sending almost every day, folks, so thanks for your patience.... @herb: I sure would have liked to have met Barry White. No wonder Dave gets all the ladies.
	11:01am annie: rats!!! the band-name generator is not in there.. emialing you, joe.
	11:01am BennettCap: Quittin' ain't my schtick either, Joe. Westward.
	11:01am Marcel M: I can attest to that. Was a mad house over there on Friday.
	11:01am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! Glad I tuned in in time for the B-side sax solo!
	11:02am Wild Neil: WOW Northern Soul records are going for a LOT of money. WOW.
	11:06am annie: FMU rocks; all the packages were so carefully and lovingly packed!
	11:09am herb.nyc: did i hear correctly: attendees get paid $5 to attend Toxic Comedy? (haha)
	11:11am herb.nyc: (in Theremin news, wnyc had a segment earlier today on how that technology inspired automated toll payments. and how theremin's inventor led a crazy life, going from russia to u.s. and a., and then back again.)
	11:12am adrian in mpls: excited to hear this session!
	11:17am Joe McG: Brigid Mae Power: brigidmaepower.com
	11:20am fred: @herb: I remember seeing Radio Eris in the basement of a bar in Paris. Because of different voltage standards, the guy who played the Theremin would occasionally get shocked, though he soldiered on. Not a good memory, especially with such nice people
	11:20am herb.nyc: Brigid sounds really really good; thanks for the introductions, Joe.
	11:22am herb.nyc: (aside to "ring my bell" - my french amie Emmanuelle just emailed me, after i told her that Joe played song: memories in France, Normandy. Summer time and my best girlfriend and I used to go to the summer fair held by the beach in August. I remember a particular summer (I was probably 15), when we had an interest in some boys, and we would meet them at the fair, and hang out at the bumper cars ride where this song was playing. Each time I hear this track, I remember it. )
	11:22am fred: As usual, her tour doesn't stop nearby. I don't blame her, but I'm still disappointed
	11:22am Joe McG: You bet, Herb. I love these versions because they are so unadorned.
	11:22am herb.nyc: Brigid reminds me of Sharon Van Etten.
	11:23am Joe McG: @fred: She will be touring more in the new year, I believe. This fall she tours Japan.
	11:24am Wild Neil: Brigid has a LOVELY voice. WOW!
	11:24am fred: @herb.nyc: Even better! Sharon Van Etten live has a fierce side that doesn't always come through on records
	11:26am fred: @Joe: the way I've kept up with shows lately, chances are she played next door last week
	11:27am lloyd michigan: Otis was the custodian in our fraternity house. Nicest guy in the world.
	11:27am annie: there's a busker at the Earth Fare whose voice is slightly higher in pitch than this, i love her singing but her repetoire includes 10 songs, maybe. this is too close to comfort for me, though i do like it.
	11:31am herb.nyc: @Fred - i've seen Sharon perform a few times, and yr right. (first time i saw her was at Union Hall, she opened for Neal Halstead. friend and i knew nothing of her but i did see her name mentioned in a few places. i was really wowed by her and my friend liked too. then i last saw her at Town Hall, and she had a pretty dress on and was in top form. it was her father's birthday and when i saw him in the audience, post-show, i complimented him on her talents.)
	11:33am Whosondephone: The vocal is to close/loud. It's making the performance sound awkward
	11:36am Joe McG: I beg to differ, Whosondephone.
	11:36am Brendan: Thanks for for this BMP, Joe. This music commands my full attention and rewards it in spades.
	11:38am fred: @Whosondephone: I just differ, no begging involved
	11:38am Wild Neil: Sounds intimate to me, and I am SUPER PICKY about sound.
	11:39am Joe McG: You bet, Brendan, I'm glad you enjoyed it! In a week or two, these songs will be on the FMA, too.
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice performance. FMA headed to 200,000!
	11:41am Whosondephone: I was struggling with the Samsung keyboard. The last track sounded great.
	11:46am Whosondephone: Incredible performance.
	11:47am Joe McG: Glad you enjoyed it, Whosondephone!
	11:47am fred: My Lagan Love is such a wonderful song
	11:48am Dean: Marni Nixon, RIP.
	11:49am Michael 98145: what fred said
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting. Hope you all have a good week!
	11:55am Marc Francis: Thanks for the beautiful music, Joe!
	11:55am adrian in mpls: Thanks Joe!
	11:56am Joe McG: OH, and stay tuned for Vicki Peterson of the Bangles on the Three Chord Monte!
	11:57am annie: thanks for anther great show joe!
	11:57am P-90.: Thanks Joe McG, great show as usual. very nice live set (the quality of the engineering of these FMU live sets is astonishingly consistent. It's like you guys have your own little Abbey Road there.) Have a great week. See you next Yip Yip Time.
	11:59am Marcel M: Thanks Joe!
	5:53pm Joe McG: By the way, here's some video of Brigid performing in Monty Hall: www.youtube.com...
