	9:03am pantz: DJ Jazzy Joe
	9:04am annie: yip yips should come at 9am.... jus' sayin' .... good morning joe!! it's just me being a nit-picker...
	👻 9:06am Threemoons: Morning Joe, fellow YipYips. Running out the door as my subway station is closed until June and I got me some walking to do...catch you all on the flipside!
	👻 9:06am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Album Orientation Week.
	9:06am Sean B.: Bo knows!. Good morning Joe and all!. :-)
	9:06am V Priceless: a morning of goodness to you, Mr. Joe!
	9:07am Sem Chumbo: When I was still lifting weights, the bo diddley squat was my best thing. Hello, Joe, McGaskoes, and Surface Noise curious.
	👻 9:07am Brian in UK: Ole Bo's knows.
	9:07am Brendan: Morning all you square guitar cats
	9:07am dale: this version of vo diddley is EXCELLENT. will we have an entire show of bo diddley's?
	9:08am melinda: Great idea dale
	9:08am Beavo: Proof that white people can ruin anything
	9:09am pantz: How about some Esquivel this morning, Joe?
	👻 9:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Drats...was hoping for three hours of Bo Diddley. Well, maybe another time. Hi, Joe!
	9:11am BennettCap: Today we play the name game!
	9:12am annie: i can smell the fish cakes cooking, be right back..
	9:13am Sean B.: One of Bo's last interviews before his death, am interview on some radio station is simply hilarious and priceless (as such was he as a person and musician). He's carrying on about how freaky the whole wireless age is to him and going on about how he feels all women are crazy and such. But speaks of such things with such practicality and humor that it isn't offensive sounding whatsoever. The greatest.
	9:14am queems: this is like a musical book report
	9:14am Davee: Hey Joe - Good morning!!!
	9:15am Davee: Esquivel would be a really fine addition!
	9:17am medson: King of the 12 string
	👻 9:17am Brian in UK: Esquivel is too mainstream!
	9:18am steveo: Hey Joe! Where you goin' with that record in your hand?
	9:20am Joe McG: Hello, radio friends, welcome to the show featuring people you may know.
	9:24am Krys O.: Neat concept!
	9:25am zopa: Hey Joe. Do you know Billy Hunt?
	9:25am Krys O.: I predict that we'll hear Marie Provost perhaps.
	9:26am Joe McG: @zopa: The Jam song? @Krys: Perhaps! :)
	9:27am zopa: @Joe. The very one.
	9:32am Gregory: Not sure who else has played this song on WFMU, but it's wonderful. Thanks.
	9:33am Brendan: Its a cavalcade of stars! You would be doing us a great disservice if you omitted the great Joe McGasko song by Jim Price
	9:35am pantz: Hey Joe, did you get my email about upping my SFL? I sent it over the weekend and haven't seen a reply. Won't you take my money?
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: ALPHABETICAL
	9:37am Davee: Any songs about Charlie Manson?
	9:38am Davee: Or Justin Beeber?
	9:39am steveo: self-imposed constraints are fun!
	9:39am Davee: self imposed constipation
	9:40am steveo: i don't get the metaphor; wouldn't constipation result in dead air?
	9:41am Joe McG: @pantz: I did, pantz, but I wasn't in the office, so I'll get back to you after the show today. Thanks so much for raising your S4L! It helps us out a lot. And thanks to all you other "radio" folks for your help.
	9:41am davefromtoronto: you'd cover a lot of ground with that "life is a rock" tune...
	9:41am Lixiviated Life: how 'bout Pablo Picasso ('cause he's no...)
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Double header.
	9:43am northguineahills: The downtown plaza of the new town I moved to is named after Bo Diddley.
	9:44am KP: Me too
	👻 9:44am Brian in UK: Joe, showing my age, ghot any songs about Loretta Young. (No Moby Grape)
	9:45am sugarwolf: Hey, spoilers there, Go-Betweens!
	9:46am Joe McG: @Brian: I wish, but no! @Lixivated Life: Likely!
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: The British Set. Apologies for any typos, the cat is walking all over the keyboard at the same time.
	9:48am queems: i know a song about timothy leary but it isn't called timothy leary
	👻 9:48am tadpoles: Great idea for a show Joe.....and great to hear the Cleaners.
	9:48am steveo: Clara Bow appeared in 11 "talkies" though.
	9:48am dale: toto's rosanna doesn't count - i see we need the full name. if only they had named it 'rosanna arquette'
	9:48am Cheri Pi: Heya Joe! Been looking forward to this show
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: Moody Blues did one about TL on In Search of a Lost Chord.
	9:49am Roberto: That's it, I'm switching to the app. My laptop connection is too ferkakt.
	9:49am dale: legend of a mind doesn't fit the mold here.
	9:49am queems: @brian in uk yes!! that is what i was referring to
	9:50am queems: legend of a mind
	9:50am Hugh: Great concept show! Terry Waite Sez (The Fall) and/or What Would Brian Boitano Do maybe. F%#*in El. It's Fred Titmus.
	9:51am Joe McG: Yes, I'm being very strict with myself to make it tougher. No "I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives" or "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon" or "Gary Gilmore's Eyes."
	9:51am chad from oregon: Thank you for playing Clara Bow. That hit all of the right spots (as Clara also tends to).
	9:52am Roberto: There's that Emma Stone song but I don't recall if it's called simply "Emma Stone" or something longer.
	9:52am steveo: i'm curious if any of the songs will be about a currently living person (there have been some about people who were alive when the songs were recorded [Bo Diddley's eponymous song, for example]).
	9:52am ?: Humma, humma, humma???
	9:52am dale: can it be a person and then something they did and/or are doing or a descriptor? like 'buffy's dead' or 'gary gilmour's eyes'
	9:53am dale: 'lucky little squigey bear?'
	9:53am davefromtoronto: he's a prick?
	9:53am Morgan: I’m here like a little squidgy bear, too
	9:54am dale: it's a fun guessing game but i think our deejay has it under control.
	9:54am northguineahills: I heard pizza lorry, and was hoping for a pizza truck to appear outside....
	9:54am Joe McG: My pleasure, Chad. @dave: "He's a brick," I think? Brian from UK, clarify this lingo.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: @dale strictly Christian Surname. Though ofcourse people changed their names in search of fame.
	9:55am Davee: Oh, man, I'm just sitting here waiting for the next name to come up, I'm supposed to be working!
	9:55am Barney Grubbs: Moon Guen Young?
	9:55am Schnipp: Joe — thanks so much for this set. Tremendous Monday-morning-been-working-almost-4-hours pleasure. Aroused by Clara Bow and Lee Remick.
	9:56am davefromtoronto: what a fun idea for the show
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Old expression You're a brick, Angela. Meaning good, solid like a brick will hold your house up.
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Mary Millington was a porn star.
	9:57am Joe McG: My pleasure, Schnipp. @Brian: I'm going to put links to all the personalities on the playlist later today so people can read about the people.
	9:57am dale: joan of arc makes the cut.
	9:58am queems: i hope these are all in alphabetical order
	9:58am coelacanth∅: good morning Joe and others
	10:00am coelacanth∅: Yeah VP!
	10:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh, it's this show!!
	10:02am Davee: Vincent Priceless seems like a good name for a band!
	10:02am northguineahills: Ha, already love this VP!
	10:03am Passaic River Blues: Props to VP!
	10:04am V Priceless: ha Joe! Thanks for spinning this.....and this!! : )
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Get VP on the next Marathon finale
	10:05am Joe McG: Thanks for sending it in, VP!
	10:05am Schnipp: Heard Cale do PP at the Academy of Music on East 14th in one of the best shows ever.
	10:05am davefromtoronto: i heard that georges braque called him an a-hole at least once...
	10:05am BronwynB: hey joe and everyone!
	10:06am duke: Weird cosmic coincidence - Napster has a playlist of songs named after famous people. I randomly clicked on Johnathan Richmond's version of Pablo Picasso just before John Cale's version started playing.
	10:06am northguineahills: nice segue!
	👻 10:09am Brian in UK: Somehow still feels like a singles show.
	10:10am Agent Peter: Very clever theme Joe. Very enjoyable.
	10:10am MD: AMY GRANT!!! PRAISE SATAN!!!
	10:11am frenchee: Oh you card, Joe McG I love it!
	10:11am pantz: Unadulterrated Shlock is the name of my new Christian Rock band.
	10:11am Asheville Jon: any songs about Nana Mouskouri?
	10:11am frenchee: I'm sad I missed "Peter Lorre"
	10:12am I beg You: For the love of all that is good - don't play Yoko Ono by The Barenaked Ladies. Please.
	10:12am MD: in a truly religiously tolerant country we should be allowed to worship Satan...he just loved god more than humans...
	10:13am coelacanth∅: i'm sorry i missed Clara Bow. what a babe!
	10:13am BarbR: Amy! Amy Grant! <3!
	10:15am BronwynB: YES!
	10:15am coelacanth∅: is amy grant the only person represented here who's not physically dead?
	10:16am I beg You: JOhn Cale's not dead.
	10:16am BronwynB: what strikes me the most about this record is not that brian made it (he is crazy after all) but that the other four beach boys went along with it
	10:16am foofs: Julian Cope's 'Robert Mitchum' would certainly be in keeping.
	10:16am Joe McG: Believe it or not, "Johnny Carson" is not the only song about a late-night talk show host.
	10:16am northguineahills: Last I heard, John Cale is still kicking...
	10:16am davefromtoronto: while you're at it don't play "brian wilson" by barenaked ladies either.
	10:16am Passaic River Blues: Cale ain't dead yet.
	10:17am Brendan: The Beach Boys track sounds suspiciously like Passionate objective Jokerfan
	10:17am I beg You: What davefromtoronto said.
	10:18am coelacanth∅: ngh - oops! i knew that! i wasn't thinking.
	10:18am Morgan: John Cale better be alive because I’m seeing him in November
	10:18am sugarwolf: Sifl and Olay!!!
	10:18am BronwynB: @brendan: that's so true. the beach boys did it first! but at least brian tried to rhyme which the jokerfan doesn't really
	10:18am sugarwolf: Olly, stupid autocorrect!
	10:19am Morgan: How about GWAR’s Ollie North
	10:19am I beg You: A lot can happen in a week, Morgan.
	10:19am Michele: I love Sifl and Olly, they have a song called Sunny Side Up about if a girl was an egg she'd be sunny side up.
	10:19am Asheville Jon: any songs about Angela Lansbury?
	10:19am steveo: Claire Danes makes 3 among the living
	10:19am annie: i'm sitting here thinking, "how did he find all these tunes?"
	10:19am BronwynB: i wrote a song yesterday called Langley Collyer so this show is oddly perfect for me right now
	10:19am Michele: PLAY Sifl and Olly's SUNNY SIDE UP JOE!
	10:19am Asheville Jon: MDC does a lovely little song about John Wayne
	10:20am steveo: Castro, Marley & Brown were alive when the songs came out. (Maybe others.)
	10:20am Morgan: Sifl and Ollie! You just reminded me
	10:20am grubbus: I love this song! Wesley Willis forever!
	10:20am northguineahills: Wesley Willis!
	10:20am Balls_Benedict: Rock over London. Rock on Chicago!
	10:20am coelacanth∅: yes that mdc song is an old classic!
	👻 10:21am bbobnyc: genius.... !
	10:21am Dennis Diken: when Johnny Carson was asked about the Beach Boys' tribute to him in an interview he said that he'd heard it and added "it is not a classic"
	10:21am frenchee: @bronwynB: I was thinking the same thing about Brian and the Boys. I love Wesley Willis. Somebody should write a song about HIM.
	10:21am Asheville Jon: WW and Narduar: www.youtube.com...
	10:23am Morgan: @I beg you I know! Take nothing for granted. So sayeth the Mael bros
	10:23am BronwynB: someone should write a song called The Mael Bros
	10:23am Agent Peter: Wow.
	10:23am BronwynB: though i guess it would only fit this show if it was about one or the other
	10:24am I beg You: Crazily enough, there doesn't seem to be any songs titled Frank Sinatra or Bob Dylan.
	10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: HOLY CRAP, I missed a Sifl & Olly piece. That was the peak of television programming of all time forever plus infinity. Behold. I have spoken.
	10:24am βrian: This music has such gravitas! It's nutritious!
	10:24am V Priceless: @ Morgan - same here, re: Cale gigs in Nov! Ha! @fish - mdc just played in Bklyn this weekend - kicking self for missing it.
	10:25am Krys O.: @I be You: Yes, there are. Syd Barrett and the Minutemen had songs with Bob Dylan in the title.
	10:25am Barney Grubbs: PEDRO www.youtube.com...
	10:25am Morgan: Bronwyn that could be an opera
	10:25am dale: someone HAD to write a song about karen valentine!!
	10:25am steveo: epic set!
	10:26am I beg You: In the title. Not THE title.
	10:26am jim in the d: @I beg you there was a Helmet song titled Sinatra
	10:27am I beg You: How about Barbra Manning's song Dock Ellis?
	10:27am Agent Peter: Can the Butthole SUrfers' Julio Iglesias be far behind?
	10:27am The Oscar: Been busy with work, but just wanted to chime in to say that hearing Sifl & Olly made my morning!
	10:27am Listener Robert: Thanks for playing that calypso number an hour ago. I'd been in the mood for calypso since catching a DJ on 91.5 (maybe WNYE, maybe not, in Sussex Co. NJ) on Fri. night soliciting donations for apparently the last of a weekly series of calypsos. I tried searching FMA for calypso, but it's not among their indexed genres.
	10:28am lisa: When you put the call out I forgot to contribute, but just remembered the Pocket Fishrmen's "Amy Carter".
	10:28am BronwynB: in my screenwriting class senior of college a guy wrote a screenplay about dock ellis. mine was about the beach boys, surprise suprise.
	10:28am I beg You: If I understand the way this works, the song title has to be both names, and nothing else.
	10:30am Listener Robert: I figure "Oscar Levant"'s got to be a gimme in this compilation. Too obvious.
	10:31am Listener Alexandra: Oh wow...crowd sourcing becomes reality! So excited to hear the rest of this show :-)
	10:31am steveo: SHARI LEWIS JUST TURNED OVER IN HER GRAVE
	10:31am duke: The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan has some songs about WFMU DJs, but they don't just have the DJ's names as titles. For example. Radio Woman Liz Berg Deserves This Song Tribute
	10:31am βrian: "Toutes mes aventures," no?
	10:32am Schnipp: If no one ever did a Tom Snyder song, they should have.
	10:32am steveo: only maybe ;)
	10:32am nardo: love that Redd Kross song. I also thought of another one I like Lee Remick by the go-betweens.
	10:33am coelacanth∅: i beg you there is that Bowie song about Dylan (Zimmerman), but not by title.
	10:34am Schnipp: @nardo lee remick came earlier in the set
	10:34am BriJet: Joeeeyyyyyyyy
	10:34am nardo: I didn't even know you played that just tuning in
	10:34am steveo: I don't believe in Zimmerman; I only believe in that Barenaked Ladies song about Yoko, and me.
	10:35am Little Danny: Still my fave Unrest song
	10:35am Faye: i need everyone to know that i screamed "CATH CARROLL" as soon as you said unrest
	10:35am Marc Francis: Howdy Joe! Howdy all y'all!
	10:35am Wendy del Formaggio: Good morning, Joe!
	10:36am Schnipp: Dylan’s Joeeeeeeyyyy would’ve mellowed the set’s harsh
	10:36am Bob: Bare Naked Ladies have a bunch of name songs! just sayin'.
	10:36am coelacanth∅: VP that's sad! - and i missed Roedelius yesterday in my town, for 8 bucks at a college, because i was not in my town. sucks.
	10:37am Joe McG: FAYE!
	10:38am dale: does madness' song 'michael caine' work? i don't know if that's the official name or if it's my name is michael caine.
	10:38am Krys O.: Mission of Burma had a song about Nancy Reagan's Big Head.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Bob: I'd like to, Bob, but I just can't go there!
	10:39am rick armstrong: This is a great idea, Joe, like Meghan's Underwater Theme Park. A few other ones to consider: Yo La Tengo Tom Courtenay, Garland Jeffreys Lon Chaney, Magnetic Fields Ferdinand de Saussure, though maybe that one is too obvious. and a historical reference that is very particular Able Tasmans Michael Fay
	10:39am Joe McG: @dale: I couldn't tell, either, dale, so I eliminated it.
	10:40am thedunkel: ! WENDY ! JOE !
	10:40am Schnipp: You did NOT play a song about Wilhelm Reich!!! Jesus it’s mornings like this that make me adore FMU.
	10:40am Joe McG: @rick: Yes, for all I know this is old hat for Meghan, but I'm being especially strict: first name/surname, that's it.
	10:41am V Priceless: @ fish: wow! I saw that he was in the states doing appearances, but it was on the left coast! whoa that's too bad!
	10:41am Schnipp: John Henry? I thought no fictional names?
	10:42am Joe McG: @Schnipp: I looked him up, real guy!
	10:43am I beg You: Seymour Stein. And did John Henry actually exist? This may have to be disqualifed. But if it counts, then Casey Jones has to count.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Ibegyou: Casey Jones was also a real guy.
	10:44am BriJet: What?!! #Hoosiers
	10:44am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! Pretty sure the title is just 'Michael Caine' even though it features the actual Michael Caine repeatedly saying 'my name is Michael Caine', so the confusion is understandable (if not particularly interesting!)
	10:44am Wendy del Formaggio: DUNKEL!
	10:44am Brendan: Biographical ballads that enlighten and entertain.
	10:45am Little Danny: "James Dean" is bonkers. I can almost hear Joe Meek producing some astrophonic version of this
	10:45am Andy the painter: JH? real guy? must research. will rigby has a funny song abt Dylan called "Leanin on Bob"
	10:45am annie: www.ibiblio.org... two sides to that story
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Who is the DJ round here?
	10:46am Wendy del Formaggio: The MSR singers/Rodd Keith did a song called "Richard Nixon." It's a classic! (I also watched "All the President's Men" last night, so that guy is on my mind.)
	10:46am GeoEnvi: Bowie on "Bob Dylan" or "Andy Warhol"?
	10:46am Brendan: That JD tune made me want sausage
	10:46am V Priceless: anyone remember the ancient animated 'cartoon' about John Henry? It was done in the 'Davey & Goliath' manner, from same era probably - it left a lasting impression on my young mind.
	10:46am Asheville Jon: hey annie, how's it going?
	10:47am I beg You: Geee Davey.
	10:47am βrian: What, claymation?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: See, I love Phil Ochs' Jim Dean of Indiana but of course non starter.
	10:48am GeoEnvi: I always wanted to put together a playlist of songs that we're exactly 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min etc in length.
	10:48am V Priceless: @ Brian: yeah!
	10:48am zopa: Joe, I am saddened that your self imposed restrictions will result in the exclusion of Lord Brynner's "Congo War." Such a good song with so many names of real people. I will carry this sadness with me for the rest of the day.
	👻 10:48am doctorjazz: Sounds like Mamas and the Papas some (The Giant Sunflower, that is)
	10:49am annie: hi A Jon, doin' ok... i'm glad we have a little rain.. @Vincent: i was replaying that cartoon in my head!!!! i loved it.. we got our best folk education back then
	10:49am pantz: Mmmm...cheesedogs and RC cola.
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: You cannot forget what you never knew.
	10:49am Tim 07030: I remember Rita! But in the headlines, not from this song, which is pretty great.
	10:50am dale: after her playboy spread rita seemed to disappear
	10:50am Joe McG: @zopa: Sorry about that zopa! Have a cheesedog!
	10:51am KP: Ha! A friend wrote and recorded a song about Rita Jenrett
	10:51am Asheville Jon: a little rain? ha! yeah, we sure do need it, but this morning has been a bit crazy! it's not helping my motivation level at all.
	10:52am V Priceless: @ annie - yes! so cool! I gotta search for that on yootube - wonder if it's out there somewhere....
	10:52am zopa: @Joe On a stick! Great show, despite my sadness.
	10:52am Joe McG: Whhoooops, forgot that this Harry Toledo has the labels reversed!
	10:53am Itzall Ablurr: Super fun show! Sadly, The Boomtown Rats had to include the parenthetical disclaimer ahead of "(I never loved) Eva Braun", disqualifying it from the set.
	👻 10:53am doctorjazz: John Glenn track has some Velvets feel (makes sense with the John Cale production)
	👻 10:53am Threemoons: Hello again fellow YipYips! Crappy firewall at crappy job is down, so I can join you so far today...
	👻 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Did anyone notice a guest DJ spinning 45s with Samantha on her show last night? www.wfmu.org... (Hint: the guest DJ's name appears somewhere on this playist.)
	10:56am annie: @ asheville jon: i think the civic center should give us residents of the vanderbilt free tickets to their late-night concerts. it's a tease to hear the rumblings of a band without the experience..
	10:56am Asheville Jon: hey threemoons
	👻 10:56am Brian in UK: Excellent choice. He was real. Like Kayce Jones.
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: Patiently waiting for Alex Chilton when he comes around ...
	10:57am Joe McG: @ken: I'm still thinking about those lemon zest cupcakes!
	10:57am Asheville Jon: who's been playing there annie? i don't go downtown very often, too many tourists
	10:57am melinda: I love this version of PBF
	10:58am KP: Boids!
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: @melinda remember buying this album when it came out. An eyeopener.
	10:59am Krys O.: w00t!
	10:59am Wild Neil: I remember Rita Jeanrette from that spread. It was kinda modest actually. PG 13 almost.
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: Guess you all know why Bowi is called so.
	11:00am Faye: I LOVE this Nick Lowe song so much!
	11:00am The Oscar: Marie Provost! I had read Hollywood Babylon before hearing the song, but it took me a few listens to make the connection. When I realized what the chorus was actually saying I laughed out loud.
	11:01am Laura L: Played this Nick Lowe enough times to make my 45 pop and hiss too. Great program today, Joe!
	11:01am Gary: Hey, it's the People set!
	11:01am Itzall Ablurr: Nick perpetuating FAKE NEWS! A grisley Hollywood Babylon myth.
	11:01am melinda: @brian cool! I heard it later but yeah, it made an impression.
	11:04am annie: we had buddy guy!! and a couple rocker bands... i'm going to have to subscribe to their website news-thingy...
	11:04am Sem Chumbo: Timothy Leary's Dead. (No, no, no, no, he's on the outside looking in)
	11:04am Schnipp: Prevost, if the still’s to be believed. “Her body was not discovered until January 23, after neighbors complained about her dog's incessant barking. A houseboy found her body after entering her room. Police found several empty liquor bottles in the room along with a promissory note to Joan Crawford for $110.” — Wiki Been there.
	11:04am I beg You: Rita Jenrette is now a princess.
	11:04am melinda: I'd forgotten all about RJ
	👻 11:04am Ken From Hyde Park: @Joe - Great, glad they worked out. Next time, I'll bring some frosting for those who prefer theirs frosted. The whipped cream wouldn't have fared well without being refrigerated all day.
	11:05am dale: i'm glad candle in the wind isn't in this formula. a punk or death metal version might be neat.
	11:06am The Oscar: I caught part of some movie on TCM a while back, and thought one of the supporting actresses was pretty great. IMDb'd it, and sure enough, it was Ms. Prevost. Kinda spooked me.
	11:08am Asheville Jon: cool annie. i think i heard about buddy guy on the radio. alshouth i don't listen to local radio often because of fmu.....
	11:08am yippie: Joe McG my favorite Casey Jones is by Billy Murray and the American Quartet
	11:08am melinda: Wasn't WR the one who invented the orgone box? There's a museum here in Maine dedicated to him, it might be his former home.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Certainly, a song called "Abe Vigoda" must exist!
	11:12am crateslinger: There was a punk band named Abe Vigoda and they had a title song.
	11:13am GeoEnvi: Cassavetes by Fugazi?

	11:39am The Oscar: @Cooh John @Joe McG Counterpoint: "Donald Trump (Black Version)" by the Time (written by Prince!). It's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds.

	11:49am Sem Chumbo: Was waiting for that suggestion, CJ.
	👻 11:49am Threemoons: How about another Pablo Picasso--from Burning Sensation (Repo Man Soundtrack)
	11:49am I beg You: i guess jubilation t. cornpone is a non starter, huh?
	11:50am βrian: Damn, this guy sounds like Richard Thompson!

	9:13am Sean B.: One of Bo's last interviews before his death, am interview on some radio station is simply hilarious and priceless (as such was he as a person and musician). He's carrying on about how freaky the whole wireless age is to him and going on about how he feels all women are crazy and such. But speaks of such things with such practicality and humor that it isn't offensive sounding whatsoever. The greatest.
	9:14am queems: this is like a musical book report

	9:15am Davee: Esquivel would be a really fine addition!

	9:27am zopa: @Joe. The very one.
	9:32am Gregory: Not sure who else has played this song on WFMU, but it's wonderful. Thanks.
	9:33am Brendan: Its a cavalcade of stars! You would be doing us a great disservice if you omitted the great Joe McGasko song by Jim Price
	9:35am pantz: Hey Joe, did you get my email about upping my SFL? I sent it over the weekend and haven't seen a reply. Won't you take my money?
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: ALPHABETICAL

	9:39am steveo: self-imposed constraints are fun!
	9:39am Davee: self imposed constipation

	9:41am davefromtoronto: you'd cover a lot of ground with that "life is a rock" tune...
	9:41am Lixiviated Life: how 'bout Pablo Picasso ('cause he's no...)
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Double header.

	9:50am queems: legend of a mind
	9:50am Hugh: Great concept show! Terry Waite Sez (The Fall) and/or What Would Brian Boitano Do maybe. F%#*in El. It's Fred Titmus.
	9:51am Joe McG: Yes, I'm being very strict with myself to make it tougher. No "I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives" or "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon" or "Gary Gilmore's Eyes."
	9:51am chad from oregon: Thank you for playing Clara Bow. That hit all of the right spots (as Clara also tends to).
	9:52am Roberto: There's that Emma Stone song but I don't recall if it's called simply "Emma Stone" or something longer.
	9:52am steveo: i'm curious if any of the songs will be about a currently living person (there have been some about people who were alive when the songs were recorded [Bo Diddley's eponymous song, for example]).
	9:52am ?: Humma, humma, humma???
	9:52am dale: can it be a person and then something they did and/or are doing or a descriptor? like 'buffy's dead' or 'gary gilmour's eyes'
	9:53am dale: 'lucky little squigey bear?'
	9:53am davefromtoronto: he's a prick?
	9:53am Morgan: I’m here like a little squidgy bear, too
	9:54am dale: it's a fun guessing game but i think our deejay has it under control.
	9:54am northguineahills: I heard pizza lorry, and was hoping for a pizza truck to appear outside....
	9:54am Joe McG: My pleasure, Chad. @dave: "He's a brick," I think? Brian from UK, clarify this lingo.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: @dale strictly Christian Surname. Though ofcourse people changed their names in search of fame.
	9:55am Davee: Oh, man, I'm just sitting here waiting for the next name to come up, I'm supposed to be working!
	9:55am Barney Grubbs: Moon Guen Young?
	9:55am Schnipp: Joe — thanks so much for this set. Tremendous Monday-morning-been-working-almost-4-hours pleasure. Aroused by Clara Bow and Lee Remick.
	9:56am davefromtoronto: what a fun idea for the show
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Old expression You're a brick, Angela. Meaning good, solid like a brick will hold your house up.
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Mary Millington was a porn star.
	9:57am Joe McG: My pleasure, Schnipp. @Brian: I'm going to put links to all the personalities on the playlist later today so people can read about the people.
	9:57am dale: joan of arc makes the cut.
	9:58am queems: i hope these are all in alphabetical order

	10:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh, it's this show!!

	10:03am Passaic River Blues: Props to VP!
	10:04am V Priceless: ha Joe! Thanks for spinning this.....and this!! : )
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Get VP on the next Marathon finale
	10:05am Joe McG: Thanks for sending it in, VP!
	10:05am Schnipp: Heard Cale do PP at the Academy of Music on East 14th in one of the best shows ever.
	10:05am davefromtoronto: i heard that georges braque called him an a-hole at least once...
	10:05am BronwynB: hey joe and everyone!
	10:06am duke: Weird cosmic coincidence - Napster has a playlist of songs named after famous people. I randomly clicked on Johnathan Richmond's version of Pablo Picasso just before John Cale's version started playing.
	10:06am northguineahills: nice segue!
	👻 10:09am Brian in UK: Somehow still feels like a singles show.
	10:10am Agent Peter: Very clever theme Joe. Very enjoyable.
	10:10am MD: AMY GRANT!!! PRAISE SATAN!!!
	10:11am frenchee: Oh you card, Joe McG I love it!
	10:11am pantz: Unadulterrated Shlock is the name of my new Christian Rock band.
	10:11am Asheville Jon: any songs about Nana Mouskouri?
	10:11am frenchee: I'm sad I missed "Peter Lorre"
	10:12am I beg You: For the love of all that is good - don't play Yoko Ono by The Barenaked Ladies. Please.
	10:12am MD: in a truly religiously tolerant country we should be allowed to worship Satan...he just loved god more than humans...
	10:13am coelacanth∅: i'm sorry i missed Clara Bow. what a babe!
	10:13am BarbR: Amy! Amy Grant! <3!
	10:15am BronwynB: YES!
	10:15am coelacanth∅: is amy grant the only person represented here who's not physically dead?
	10:16am I beg You: JOhn Cale's not dead.
	10:16am BronwynB: what strikes me the most about this record is not that brian made it (he is crazy after all) but that the other four beach boys went along with it
	10:16am foofs: Julian Cope's 'Robert Mitchum' would certainly be in keeping.
	10:16am Joe McG: Believe it or not, "Johnny Carson" is not the only song about a late-night talk show host.
	10:16am northguineahills: Last I heard, John Cale is still kicking...
	10:16am davefromtoronto: while you're at it don't play "brian wilson" by barenaked ladies either.
	10:16am Passaic River Blues: Cale ain't dead yet.
	10:17am Brendan: The Beach Boys track sounds suspiciously like Passionate objective Jokerfan
	10:17am I beg You: What davefromtoronto said.
	10:18am coelacanth∅: ngh - oops! i knew that! i wasn't thinking.
	10:18am Morgan: John Cale better be alive because I’m seeing him in November
	10:18am sugarwolf: Sifl and Olay!!!
	10:18am BronwynB: @brendan: that's so true. the beach boys did it first! but at least brian tried to rhyme which the jokerfan doesn't really
	10:18am sugarwolf: Olly, stupid autocorrect!
	10:19am Morgan: How about GWAR’s Ollie North
	10:19am I beg You: A lot can happen in a week, Morgan.
	10:19am Michele: I love Sifl and Olly, they have a song called Sunny Side Up about if a girl was an egg she'd be sunny side up.
	10:19am Asheville Jon: any songs about Angela Lansbury?
	10:19am steveo: Claire Danes makes 3 among the living
	10:19am annie: i'm sitting here thinking, "how did he find all these tunes?"
	10:19am BronwynB: i wrote a song yesterday called Langley Collyer so this show is oddly perfect for me right now
	10:19am Michele: PLAY Sifl and Olly's SUNNY SIDE UP JOE!
	10:19am Asheville Jon: MDC does a lovely little song about John Wayne
	10:20am steveo: Castro, Marley & Brown were alive when the songs came out. (Maybe others.)
	10:20am Morgan: Sifl and Ollie! You just reminded me
	10:20am grubbus: I love this song! Wesley Willis forever!
	10:20am northguineahills: Wesley Willis!
	10:20am Balls_Benedict: Rock over London. Rock on Chicago!
	10:20am coelacanth∅: yes that mdc song is an old classic!
	👻 10:21am bbobnyc: genius.... !
	10:21am Dennis Diken: when Johnny Carson was asked about the Beach Boys' tribute to him in an interview he said that he'd heard it and added "it is not a classic"
	10:21am frenchee: @bronwynB: I was thinking the same thing about Brian and the Boys. I love Wesley Willis. Somebody should write a song about HIM.
	10:21am Asheville Jon: WW and Narduar: www.youtube.com...
	10:23am Morgan: @I beg you I know! Take nothing for granted. So sayeth the Mael bros
	10:23am BronwynB: someone should write a song called The Mael Bros
	10:23am Agent Peter: Wow.
	10:23am BronwynB: though i guess it would only fit this show if it was about one or the other
	10:24am I beg You: Crazily enough, there doesn't seem to be any songs titled Frank Sinatra or Bob Dylan.
	10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: HOLY CRAP, I missed a Sifl & Olly piece. That was the peak of television programming of all time forever plus infinity. Behold. I have spoken.
	10:24am βrian: This music has such gravitas! It's nutritious!
	10:24am V Priceless: @ Morgan - same here, re: Cale gigs in Nov! Ha! @fish - mdc just played in Bklyn this weekend - kicking self for missing it.
	10:25am Krys O.: @I be You: Yes, there are. Syd Barrett and the Minutemen had songs with Bob Dylan in the title.
	10:25am Barney Grubbs: PEDRO www.youtube.com...
	10:25am Morgan: Bronwyn that could be an opera
	10:25am dale: someone HAD to write a song about karen valentine!!
	10:25am steveo: epic set!
	10:26am I beg You: In the title. Not THE title.
	10:26am jim in the d: @I beg you there was a Helmet song titled Sinatra
	10:27am I beg You: How about Barbra Manning's song Dock Ellis?
	10:27am Agent Peter: Can the Butthole SUrfers' Julio Iglesias be far behind?
	10:27am The Oscar: Been busy with work, but just wanted to chime in to say that hearing Sifl & Olly made my morning!
	10:27am Listener Robert: Thanks for playing that calypso number an hour ago. I'd been in the mood for calypso since catching a DJ on 91.5 (maybe WNYE, maybe not, in Sussex Co. NJ) on Fri. night soliciting donations for apparently the last of a weekly series of calypsos. I tried searching FMA for calypso, but it's not among their indexed genres.
	10:28am lisa: When you put the call out I forgot to contribute, but just remembered the Pocket Fishrmen's "Amy Carter".
	10:28am BronwynB: in my screenwriting class senior of college a guy wrote a screenplay about dock ellis. mine was about the beach boys, surprise suprise.
	10:28am I beg You: If I understand the way this works, the song title has to be both names, and nothing else.
	10:30am Listener Robert: I figure "Oscar Levant"'s got to be a gimme in this compilation. Too obvious.
	10:31am Listener Alexandra: Oh wow...crowd sourcing becomes reality! So excited to hear the rest of this show :-)
	10:31am steveo: SHARI LEWIS JUST TURNED OVER IN HER GRAVE
	10:31am duke: The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan has some songs about WFMU DJs, but they don't just have the DJ's names as titles. For example. Radio Woman Liz Berg Deserves This Song Tribute
	10:31am βrian: "Toutes mes aventures," no?
	10:32am Schnipp: If no one ever did a Tom Snyder song, they should have.
	10:32am steveo: only maybe ;)
	10:32am nardo: love that Redd Kross song. I also thought of another one I like Lee Remick by the go-betweens.
	10:33am coelacanth∅: i beg you there is that Bowie song about Dylan (Zimmerman), but not by title.
	10:34am Schnipp: @nardo lee remick came earlier in the set
	10:34am BriJet: Joeeeyyyyyyyy
	10:34am nardo: I didn't even know you played that just tuning in
	10:34am steveo: I don't believe in Zimmerman; I only believe in that Barenaked Ladies song about Yoko, and me.
	10:35am Little Danny: Still my fave Unrest song
	10:35am Faye: i need everyone to know that i screamed "CATH CARROLL" as soon as you said unrest
	10:35am Marc Francis: Howdy Joe! Howdy all y'all!
	10:35am Wendy del Formaggio: Good morning, Joe!
	10:36am Schnipp: Dylan’s Joeeeeeeyyyy would’ve mellowed the set’s harsh
	10:36am Bob: Bare Naked Ladies have a bunch of name songs! just sayin'.
	10:36am coelacanth∅: VP that's sad! - and i missed Roedelius yesterday in my town, for 8 bucks at a college, because i was not in my town. sucks.
	10:37am Joe McG: FAYE!
	10:38am dale: does madness' song 'michael caine' work? i don't know if that's the official name or if it's my name is michael caine.
	10:38am Krys O.: Mission of Burma had a song about Nancy Reagan's Big Head.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Bob: I'd like to, Bob, but I just can't go there!
	10:39am rick armstrong: This is a great idea, Joe, like Meghan's Underwater Theme Park. A few other ones to consider: Yo La Tengo Tom Courtenay, Garland Jeffreys Lon Chaney, Magnetic Fields Ferdinand de Saussure, though maybe that one is too obvious. and a historical reference that is very particular Able Tasmans Michael Fay
	10:39am Joe McG: @dale: I couldn't tell, either, dale, so I eliminated it.
	10:40am thedunkel: ! WENDY ! JOE !
	10:40am Schnipp: You did NOT play a song about Wilhelm Reich!!! Jesus it’s mornings like this that make me adore FMU.
	10:40am Joe McG: @rick: Yes, for all I know this is old hat for Meghan, but I'm being especially strict: first name/surname, that's it.
	10:41am V Priceless: @ fish: wow! I saw that he was in the states doing appearances, but it was on the left coast! whoa that's too bad!
	10:41am Schnipp: John Henry? I thought no fictional names?
	10:42am Joe McG: @Schnipp: I looked him up, real guy!
	10:43am I beg You: Seymour Stein. And did John Henry actually exist? This may have to be disqualifed. But if it counts, then Casey Jones has to count.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Ibegyou: Casey Jones was also a real guy.
	10:44am BriJet: What?!! #Hoosiers
	10:44am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! Pretty sure the title is just 'Michael Caine' even though it features the actual Michael Caine repeatedly saying 'my name is Michael Caine', so the confusion is understandable (if not particularly interesting!)
	10:44am Wendy del Formaggio: DUNKEL!
	10:44am Brendan: Biographical ballads that enlighten and entertain.
	10:45am Little Danny: "James Dean" is bonkers. I can almost hear Joe Meek producing some astrophonic version of this
	10:45am Andy the painter: JH? real guy? must research. will rigby has a funny song abt Dylan called "Leanin on Bob"
	10:45am annie: www.ibiblio.org... two sides to that story
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Who is the DJ round here?
	10:46am Wendy del Formaggio: The MSR singers/Rodd Keith did a song called "Richard Nixon." It's a classic! (I also watched "All the President's Men" last night, so that guy is on my mind.)
	10:46am GeoEnvi: Bowie on "Bob Dylan" or "Andy Warhol"?
	10:46am Brendan: That JD tune made me want sausage
	10:46am V Priceless: anyone remember the ancient animated 'cartoon' about John Henry? It was done in the 'Davey & Goliath' manner, from same era probably - it left a lasting impression on my young mind.
	10:46am Asheville Jon: hey annie, how's it going?
	10:47am I beg You: Geee Davey.
	10:47am βrian: What, claymation?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: See, I love Phil Ochs' Jim Dean of Indiana but of course non starter.
	10:48am GeoEnvi: I always wanted to put together a playlist of songs that we're exactly 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min etc in length.
	10:48am V Priceless: @ Brian: yeah!
	10:48am zopa: Joe, I am saddened that your self imposed restrictions will result in the exclusion of Lord Brynner's "Congo War." Such a good song with so many names of real people. I will carry this sadness with me for the rest of the day.
	👻 10:48am doctorjazz: Sounds like Mamas and the Papas some (The Giant Sunflower, that is)
	10:49am annie: hi A Jon, doin' ok... i'm glad we have a little rain.. @Vincent: i was replaying that cartoon in my head!!!! i loved it.. we got our best folk education back then
	10:49am pantz: Mmmm...cheesedogs and RC cola.
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: You cannot forget what you never knew.
	10:49am Tim 07030: I remember Rita! But in the headlines, not from this song, which is pretty great.
	10:50am dale: after her playboy spread rita seemed to disappear
	10:50am Joe McG: @zopa: Sorry about that zopa! Have a cheesedog!
	10:51am KP: Ha! A friend wrote and recorded a song about Rita Jenrett
	10:51am Asheville Jon: a little rain? ha! yeah, we sure do need it, but this morning has been a bit crazy! it's not helping my motivation level at all.
	10:52am V Priceless: @ annie - yes! so cool! I gotta search for that on yootube - wonder if it's out there somewhere....
	10:52am zopa: @Joe On a stick! Great show, despite my sadness.
	10:52am Joe McG: Whhoooops, forgot that this Harry Toledo has the labels reversed!
	10:53am Itzall Ablurr: Super fun show! Sadly, The Boomtown Rats had to include the parenthetical disclaimer ahead of "(I never loved) Eva Braun", disqualifying it from the set.
	👻 10:53am doctorjazz: John Glenn track has some Velvets feel (makes sense with the John Cale production)
	👻 10:53am Threemoons: Hello again fellow YipYips! Crappy firewall at crappy job is down, so I can join you so far today...
	👻 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Did anyone notice a guest DJ spinning 45s with Samantha on her show last night? www.wfmu.org... (Hint: the guest DJ's name appears somewhere on this playist.)
	10:56am annie: @ asheville jon: i think the civic center should give us residents of the vanderbilt free tickets to their late-night concerts. it's a tease to hear the rumblings of a band without the experience..
	10:56am Asheville Jon: hey threemoons
	👻 10:56am Brian in UK: Excellent choice. He was real. Like Kayce Jones.
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: Patiently waiting for Alex Chilton when he comes around ...
	10:57am Joe McG: @ken: I'm still thinking about those lemon zest cupcakes!
	10:57am Asheville Jon: who's been playing there annie? i don't go downtown very often, too many tourists
	10:57am melinda: I love this version of PBF
	10:58am KP: Boids!
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: @melinda remember buying this album when it came out. An eyeopener.
	10:59am Krys O.: w00t!
	10:59am Wild Neil: I remember Rita Jeanrette from that spread. It was kinda modest actually. PG 13 almost.
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: Guess you all know why Bowi is called so.
	11:00am Faye: I LOVE this Nick Lowe song so much!
	11:00am The Oscar: Marie Provost! I had read Hollywood Babylon before hearing the song, but it took me a few listens to make the connection. When I realized what the chorus was actually saying I laughed out loud.
	11:01am Laura L: Played this Nick Lowe enough times to make my 45 pop and hiss too. Great program today, Joe!
	11:01am Gary: Hey, it's the People set!
	11:01am Itzall Ablurr: Nick perpetuating FAKE NEWS! A grisley Hollywood Babylon myth.
	11:01am melinda: @brian cool! I heard it later but yeah, it made an impression.
	11:04am annie: we had buddy guy!! and a couple rocker bands... i'm going to have to subscribe to their website news-thingy...
	11:04am Sem Chumbo: Timothy Leary's Dead. (No, no, no, no, he's on the outside looking in)
	11:04am Schnipp: Prevost, if the still’s to be believed. “Her body was not discovered until January 23, after neighbors complained about her dog's incessant barking. A houseboy found her body after entering her room. Police found several empty liquor bottles in the room along with a promissory note to Joan Crawford for $110.” — Wiki Been there.
	11:04am I beg You: Rita Jenrette is now a princess.
	11:04am melinda: I'd forgotten all about RJ
	👻 11:04am Ken From Hyde Park: @Joe - Great, glad they worked out. Next time, I'll bring some frosting for those who prefer theirs frosted. The whipped cream wouldn't have fared well without being refrigerated all day.
	11:05am dale: i'm glad candle in the wind isn't in this formula. a punk or death metal version might be neat.
	11:06am The Oscar: I caught part of some movie on TCM a while back, and thought one of the supporting actresses was pretty great. IMDb'd it, and sure enough, it was Ms. Prevost. Kinda spooked me.
	11:08am Asheville Jon: cool annie. i think i heard about buddy guy on the radio. alshouth i don't listen to local radio often because of fmu.....
	11:08am yippie: Joe McG my favorite Casey Jones is by Billy Murray and the American Quartet
	11:08am melinda: Wasn't WR the one who invented the orgone box? There's a museum here in Maine dedicated to him, it might be his former home.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Certainly, a song called "Abe Vigoda" must exist!
	11:12am crateslinger: There was a punk band named Abe Vigoda and they had a title song.
	11:13am GeoEnvi: Cassavetes by Fugazi?
	11:13am northguineahills: A fave YLT of mine! (Well most of are to begin w/!)
	11:13am crateslinger: The one on wikipedia is not the one I'm talking about.
	11:13am Roberto: I saw Tom Courtenay in a one-person play in 1997.
	11:14am northguineahills: Didn't Le Tigre do a song about Cassavetes?
	11:14am Laura L: @ Melinda, Yes it was WR, and yes the Reich Museum way up in Maine is his former home--I visited it three or four years ago and can attest it is well worth a visit.
	11:14am pantz: Weird Al did a song about the great Charles Nelson Reilly.
	11:14am Will: I wrote a song about Edie The Egg Lady, I can send it.
	11:14am Bob: Ok, no BNL. How about "David Duchovney" by Bree Sharp???? Please??? :)
	11:14am Morgan: King Missile’s Martin Scorsese. Lots of F though
	11:15am paul b: I knew Mark during the period when wrote Cath Carroll. She had done a song with the band Miaow a 12" "When It All Comes Down" which was a big hit with us at U.Md's station WMUC. He was fascinated by her and wrote that song. She later married one of the members of Big Black, Steve Albini's band
	11:15am KP: I dreamed Wfmu played Joe Hill last night
	11:15am northguineahills: There was a good Wilhelm Reich doc once on Netflix that was nice....
	11:15am melinda: Ngh yes, What's Your Take on Cassavetes
	11:15am Roberto: Not surprisingly, he was the one person.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Tom Courtenay in The Dresser playing opposite Albert Finney was one of his best.
	11:16am melinda: @Laura I'd love to visit but don't get away from Portland much, can't drive long distances.
	11:17am MD: Hey Joe...How about Garibaldi by Jurassics....???
	11:17am Roberto: YAS Alex Chilton!
	11:17am Sem Chumbo: Agreed, Brian. Brilliant x 1,000.
	11:17am melinda: Brian I agree
	11:18am Schnipp: When WR had no where else to live because he’d been hounded and driven nuts by the McCarthyites, he moved to Rangely, Maine to conduct his orgone experiments.
	11:18am Henry: i like this version
	👻 11:18am Threemoons: Surely there is a tribute song to David Bowie out there somewhere?
	11:18am frenchee: Second @Roberto's YAASSSS
	11:18am BronwynB: flight of the conchords have a bowie song but it's just his last name
	11:18am Brendan: Aw man I miss Alex
	11:19am northguineahills: Thanks melinda, good to know my brain still works!
	11:19am Roberto: YAS to both the song and its subject.
	11:20am Schnipp: And who can forget Dušan Makavejev’s Yugoslav classic movie, “W.R. — Mysteries of the Organism”? Fame is so fleeting.
	11:20am Passaic River Blues: Love this song, love this band. Excellent selection, Joe.
	👻 11:21am Threemoons: Oooh ooh how about "Robert DiNero" by Bananrama?
	11:22am Joe McG: @Threemoons: I like that one, but I think it's called "Robert DeNiro's Waiting." I think!
	👻 11:22am Threemoons: Bronwyn--did not that know that...thx
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: @Threemoons I was very saddened when Bananarama became the biggest selling female group overtaking the Supremes in the UK.
	11:22am Schnipp: JACKIE!!!!
	👻 11:23am Threemoons: Joe I defer to your memory over mine any day! :)
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: Jungle Records Rules.
	11:23am Summer and Michael: Jackie O! Yeah!
	11:24am I beg You: If that saddens you, keep in mind that Jewel is the best selling American "poet".
