	👻 9:21am N.A.R.D.: Man this is terrific. You don't often get to hear jingle bells in May, but I am super digging this track, Joe!
	9:21am Planet Tyler: Hi Joe, Nice beginning! I just found a link between Belle and Sebastian and Lawrence from Felt - did anyone know there was a movie made about Lawrence? www.heraldscotland.com...
	9:23am Brach: very very excited for Sachiko
	9:25am Joe McG: @Tyler: That's cool, I didn't know that!
	9:25am LCBD: This is so nice!
	9:26am Andy the painter: perfect way to start the week. nice set, joe!

	9:31am redkayak: Good morning all :)

	9:36am steveo: 5!
	9:38am Mick: Here Come the Nice...
	9:38am Krys O.: Had that Dolly Mixture! Great set, Joe.
	9:41am bore: good morning Joe and all!
	9:42am Brendan: Good morning Joe. So I take it we’ll never hear an opening set of Ethel Merman. I’m okay with that.
	9:43am Joe McG: @Brendan: Never say never!
	9:45am Mike D.: An opening set of alternating Ethel Merman/Guns N' Roses tracks could be fun. A battle of the two of the greatest shriekers of all time, and an added bonus of waking up anyone who wasn't awoken by the Box of Pain that morning!
	9:46am Joe McG: @MikeD: Ha ha ha!
	9:47am Walt: Fun (?) fact of the day: The cover art of the LP "Magic Christian Music" by Badfinger is a takeoff of some of the recurring images in de Chirico's early paintings. de Chirico: d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.net... Badfinger: img.discogs.com...
	9:48am steveo: @walt good stuff
	9:48am the illuminated void: Hi koe. Usually catch your show when i cleaned my brothers restaurant Writing at home today. Peace
	9:49am Joe McG: Robyn Hitchcock also did a nice song called "De Chirico Street" inspired by his paintings.
	9:49am the illuminated void: sorry Joe
	👻 9:51am karlward: Who is singing harmony on this Dave Evans track? It's great.
	9:52am Joe McG: @IV: That's OK! Glad my show is practical.
	9:52am steveo: i love de chirico's oddly distorted perspective; can't find that song on wfmu playlists using google
	9:53am Joe McG: @Karlw: I don't know! Maybe one of the female folkies on The Village Thing label. Our promo has no notes. Find out for me and I'll tell the people. :)
	9:55am suzyhotrod: Joe McGasko! Thanks for making Monday mornings at my new corporate full time job pleasant, at least for my ears. (I'm crashing and burning in this world!) -Suzy
	9:55am steveo: @karlward @joe Adrienne Webber www.discogs.com...
	👻 9:56am karlward: Joe: Discogs and other sources on the web say it's Adrienne Webber singing harmony with Dave Evans. Digging further for clues.
	9:57am Joe McG: Oh, Suzy, glad I can ease your pain! Thanks for saying hi. @steveo and Karl: Thanks, fellas.
	9:58am SSS: @Suzy, the world is crashing and burning....just step back a bit, you'll be fine.
	10:00am paul: What the fu-hell?
	10:00am geoff mcq: This is definitely one of my favourite songs about tracheotomies. Ever.
	10:00am Asheville Jon: hahahaha! now i know there is a song about everything and anything
	10:01am exile-on-hicks-st: This is amazing.
	10:01am themutante: Madness. Love it!
	10:01am MD: THIS SONG HAS MADE MY WHOLE WEEK!!!! OMG!!! LOL!!!! WTF!!!!!
	10:01am Roberto: Oh hell yes, a song that mentions Conrad Bain (Connie to his friends).
	10:01am David in London: Trach Rock is my new favourite genre.
	10:02am MD: Good Morning all! How's the breathing???
	10:02am exile-on-hicks-st: I recall an episode of MASH when a doctor (Hawkeye? Honeycutt?) had to talk someone (Radar?) through a trach’ over a radio...
	10:03am Folsom: Yes mash with the pen
	10:03am Marc Francis: Wow. Happy Monday!
	10:03am paul: Hawkeye. Radar used a ball point pen.
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: He had to insert a straw or something... after that, I thought, if I had to, I could do it, too. Every time I see the trach’ scar, i think of that episode.
	10:04am Asheville Jon: any songs about appendicitis or perhaps exczema?
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: Waterloo Tracheotomy!
	10:04am The Oscar: Mornin'! I feel like this song pairs well with Sufjan Stevens's Tonya Harding song from last year.
	10:04am Listener Scott: Shouldn't the opportunity to sign this song be given to someone with a tracheotomy?
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: Thank you Paul!!
	10:05am paul: You're welcome!
	10:05am Joe McG: "Famous Tracheotomies" is my Song of the Week, no doubt. If I had a Song of the Week.
	👻 10:06am tadpoles: Okkervil River helped with Roxy Ericsson's comeback...have to be good. Very neat song.
	👻 10:07am tadpoles: Roky Erickson...doh!
	10:07am Kurt Gottschalk: is wooden ships ripping off buffalo springfield or nick gilder?
	10:08am Joe McG: @Kurt: Both! Hey Kurt, who won Eurovision?
	10:08am βrian: I want to pronounce that j as a diphthong.
	10:09am pantz: Wooden Shjips on the wjater, very free and jeasy.
	10:09am Kurt Gottschalk: you mean wfmurovision? MOLDOVA!!
	10:09am pantz: or yeezy?
	10:09am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha!
	10:10am Joe McG: @Kurt: You made that country up.
	10:10am David in London: @tadpoles - that typo gives me one Hell of an idea for a mash up...
	10:12am Kurt Gottschalk: no, stashu did.
	10:13am paul: And you thought only helicopters covered Traffic.
	10:15am Joe McG: @Kurt: She's a pip!
	10:18am The Oscar: The curse of growing up in the late 20th century is how many classic songs I first heard in commercials. I really wish I could hear this song without thinking that it's about Pizza Hut.
	10:18am Chi Bill: Big Sugar, adding to my 13 pages of band names I first heard here. Discovered WFMU around '04 on rental car radio. WFMU saves brain cells. Thanks Joe!
	10:19am Joe McG: You bet, Chi Bill!
	10:19am βrian: @TO: I meant to watch TV, but I kept getting distracted. Now I miss a lot of references. So it goes.
	10:20am βrian: Rental Car Radio. There's a fertile term. Maybe that could be incorporated into a billboard theme.
	10:21am northguineahills: I was more of a Montenegro fan myself....
	10:23am steveo: @chi bill -- Maybe it was me! I always set button #1 to WFMU when I get a rental car (which is several times a year in NYC)
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: Lydia!
	10:24am Chi Bill: Past 3 years, 13 pages of scribble both sides - estimate at least 500 band names. WFMU soothes the soul. HA! Stveo, defitely your preset! Bottom of FM dial is where the cool people go!
	10:25am steveo: haha yeah
	10:27am βrian: Which station is at the extreme left in NYC? That's always been one of WCBN's slogans.
	10:28am βrian: That horn section is going to stick with me like a hot bowl of Cream O' Wheat.
	10:28am steveo: wbgo at 88.3?
	10:29am queems: i’ve spent half of this show buffering because my work has shitty wifi but what i’ve heard has been great
	10:30am mahall: Who are Cold Blood and what have they done with Janis Joplin? That's the closest I've heard anyone even approach Janis. Wow, that kicked ASS.
	10:31am MD: trake me baby!!!
	10:32am steveo: Long Island University has a station in nassau county at 88.1 that i might get in brooklyn
	10:32am MD: trake my wife please!!!
	10:32am Walt: WRAS Atlanta: "Left on the dial, right on the music." Also "Keep it locked to the left." Formerly a great college station, Governor Deal gave 14 air hours a day to Georgia Public Broadcasting as a political payoff and the station has gone downhill since then IMO. This was after student fees had been raised for a few years to pay for a $500k transmitter (the station broadcasts at 100k watts).
	10:36am herb.nyc: i just got the new OKKERVIL RIVER too, and that is a great song. (oops, i used to say OAK-ERVIL RIVER until someone said it's "OCK-ERVIL ya twit")
	10:37am pantz: Brit Pop from the late 70's early 80's is the best.
	10:38am Larky-loo: Loved WRAS.. where I first heard the Clash
	10:38am Lixiviated Life: mercy indeed
	👻 10:41am Hughie Considine: Amazing how this 1962 single sounds like it could be from several other decades. Pre-Beatles '60s - it was all wide open.
	10:42am Chi Bill: So, cool people are far left. That settles that.
	10:42am steveo: But the winner in NYC has to be WNYZ-LP at 87.75 FM (TV channel 6) en.wikipedia.org... "During most of its life while operating on channel 6, the station has been operated more as a radio station than a television station. WNYZ-LP broadcasts video, usually silent movies which are repeated throughout the day, for the likely reason to fulfill the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirement that some sort of video be broadcast on the frequency because WNYZ-LP is licensed as a television facility." 'The audio programming on WNYZ was originally Russian Top 40 (Radio Vsyo - Russian for "Radio Everything"). Late in 2007, it was announced that the station would be changing the audio format to a Dance-intensive Rhythmic Top 40 format as "Pulse 87".'
	10:43am Asheville Jon: always great to hear ABBA !!!
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: I guess this is ABBA reacting to the glam era?
	10:44am Joe McG: @Hughie: Totally!
	10:47am Devin B.: Oh nice! Was just listening to He Said last week.
	10:50am paul: Take a Wham song and make it better.
	10:51am pantz: This should have been a reggae song all along!!!
	👻 10:52am Hughie Considine: Happy to say that "Guilty feet have got not rhythm" has been my WFMU personal statement for years. I feel so validated and iree.
	10:52am The Oscar: A question I once posed some friends: when you do air-sax, is the inevitable song "Careless Whisper" or "Baker Street?"
	10:52am the illuminated void: i do have to say Joe your weird refreshing mix is unique and genius. Like WFMU
	👻 10:53am Hughie Considine: @Oscar, I'd have to go with "Baker Street," by an evanescent curlicue of a sax lick ...
	10:56am paul: The Cowsills were a lot cooler than people realized.
	10:57am Joe McG: Thanks, IV! Single File is the most freeform (some would say "random") portion of the program.
	11:00am the illuminated void: "random" thats a knock on your style and taste of whom you are.. the genius of all the djs is a subtle magic of our individuality.
	11:01am βrian: Stochastic Joe. It works whatever it is.
	11:01am Brendan: That was a wistful set sloser
	11:01am Brendan: Closer
	11:01am jdubz: what is the background song? so good!!!
	11:02am paul: Don't forget Coven, Joe.
	11:03am northguineahills: @jdubz: Kevin Ayers.
	11:03am The Oscar: Wasn't the Billy Jack theme by Coven? That always struck me as one of the most hilarious musical Trojan horses of all time-- the rest of their material was overtly Satanic psych-rock!
	11:04am The Oscar: (d'oh-- just saw Paul's post!)
	11:04am Brendan: @jbubz that probably qualifies as the most asked question here. It’s called Crystal Clear - a demo by Kevin Ayers
	11:04am paul: Both groups did it.
	11:05am Mick: Original Caste did it first, but not on the Billy Jack soundtrack
	11:05am Mick: Pretty sure Coven was the Billy Jack version
	11:05am Mark in Toronto: Mr. Monday?
	11:06am paul: What Mick said.
	11:07am The Oscar: And strictly speaking, IIRC, the Billy Jack version just the singer from Coven with a session band, but she demanded they use the Coven name to promote her band.
	11:07am tom from Glasgow: honestly didn't know Roky Erikson was alive
	11:07am Mark in Toronto: In Canada, Mr. Monday was a charted hit by the Original Caste, but it did not chart in the USA
	11:07am frenchee: <sadly unpacks all those Montovani discs>
	11:07am Krys O.: Susannah is awesome!!!
	11:08am frenchee: @tom from Glasgow: not sure Roky knows either
	👻 11:08am Hughie Considine: I wonder if Stephin Merritt has any more stunt LPs left in him.
	11:10am tom from Glasgow: i like calling them sessions because i am, at heart, a child of John Peel
	11:11am Brendan: When Susannah comes by I ‘ll be coming by too . From Alabama. With a banjo on my ... oh shut up Brendan
	11:12am northguineahills: Sachiko, live, squeeeeeee!!!!!!
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: I had the same thought @Brendan. But I held back.
	11:12am northguineahills: Brendan answered that question better then I.
	11:12am tom from Glasgow: will you be coming round the mountain
	11:13am Ike: Re: 2020, you said it, Joe. When that happens, I'll plotz! Whatever that means.
	11:15am tom from Glasgow: in 2020 we'll all be able to see really well
	11:16am SSS: Plotz - To collapse in semi comic fatigue / dismay / confusion....if I get my Yiddish right.
	11:17am queems: so great!
	11:17am Ike: @Tom, GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAN (and/or obligatory rimshot sound effect)
	11:18am βrian: @Tom: Meaning hindsight?
	11:21am Joe McG: Sachiko was bummed that she didn't have her "Misora" guitar with her to play "Blue Fish" since the action is so different, but I think she did fine!
	11:21am Brendan: I must confess I don’t understand Japanese but the ‘bap a dap a doo doo’ part somehow speaks to me . I think we all retain a lifelong memory of those sounds as a baby . Or maybe we regurgitate the babble sounds adults serenaded us with as infants.
	11:22am βrian: They're selling advance tickets to Plotz 2020.
	11:22am steveo: lovely; so glad she came in and did this
	11:23am Joe McG: @Brendan: I'll briefly translate the songs afterwards at Sachiko's request!
	11:25am Jordan in Philly: Instant goosebumps: this session is sounding incredible, Joe! Thanks so much for making it happen. Cheers to you and Sachiko!
	11:30am Joe McG: You bet, Jordan! I love this new song "Wings of Light"!
	11:30am Brendan: Thanks Joe ( and Sachiko for being so thoughtful). They sound great in any lingo. And no sweat about not playing Blue Fish. I hear she makes up for it with a mean version of Green Grass and High Tides as the closer. Got my lighter ready.
	11:35am Mick: Thank you and Sachiko for this set - I agree this new song is beautiful!
	11:37am Krys O.: Such a treasure!
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: This is sublime.
	11:38am northguineahills: what everyone else said!
	11:42am northguineahills: Having WFMU in the lyrics is amazing!
	11:42am Joe McG: Great thanks to Sachiko for coming by in person and performing for us! Thanks to Mario for engineering.
	11:54am rjk: Hi Joe, thanks for arranging this. And Sachiko, if you see this, I'd just like to say I've loved your music for the longest time, it's great to hear you play them live! Sounded wonderful. Arigato!
	11:55am Brendan: What a great show. Thank you.
	11:55am pantz: I'm gonna keep an eye out for that P.K.Dick book
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe! And Sachiko!
	11:56am northguineahills: Is there anything Sachiko hasn't done? damn, that was awesome, thanks Joe shoshite Sachiko!
	11:58am ben abs: Thanks for a truly wonderful show Joe!
	11:58am tom from Glasgow: that was cool. thanks Joe! thanks Sachiko!
	11:59am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week!!
	11:59am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 12:00pm tadpoles: Thanks Joe. I know the artists don't get much but I may just have to go to the iTunes store and purchase her songs there.
	12:23pm Inner Ear Detour: Great show, Joe.

	9:09am Linda Lee: love rolling over with the glisteners on the accu.
	9:10am Planet Tyler: Some Felt LPs were re-released in March. And unfortunately Maurice sounds rather like a wanker www.cristinarocks.com...
	9:11am tom from Glasgow: hallooo Joooeee
	9:18am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, welcome to today's program. Live music from Sachiko Kanenobu in the 11 o'clock hour!
	9:19am Erik: This chill vibe set is very nice right now
	👻 9:21am N.A.R.D.: Man this is terrific. You don't often get to hear jingle bells in May, but I am super digging this track, Joe!
	9:21am Planet Tyler: Hi Joe, Nice beginning! I just found a link between Belle and Sebastian and Lawrence from Felt - did anyone know there was a movie made about Lawrence? www.heraldscotland.com...
	9:23am Brach: very very excited for Sachiko
	9:25am Joe McG: @Tyler: That's cool, I didn't know that!
	9:25am LCBD: This is so nice!
	9:26am Andy the painter: perfect way to start the week. nice set, joe!
	9:26am steveo: that's 4 votes for nice!
	9:27am steveo: you should do a super-mean show one day :)
	9:27am Joe McG: It's nice to be nice to the nice.
	9:28am Planet Tyler: Oi, one can pay 200 quid for a PAL DVD of Lawrence of Belgravia on Discogs!
	9:28am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe!
	9:29am Planet Tyler: O wait, mistake. 200 clams.
	9:31am redkayak: Good morning all :)
	9:34am steveo: beautiful set
	9:36am steveo: 5!
	9:38am Mick: Here Come the Nice...
	9:38am Krys O.: Had that Dolly Mixture! Great set, Joe.
	9:41am bore: good morning Joe and all!
	9:42am Brendan: Good morning Joe. So I take it we’ll never hear an opening set of Ethel Merman. I’m okay with that.
	9:43am Joe McG: @Brendan: Never say never!
	9:45am Mike D.: An opening set of alternating Ethel Merman/Guns N' Roses tracks could be fun. A battle of the two of the greatest shriekers of all time, and an added bonus of waking up anyone who wasn't awoken by the Box of Pain that morning!
	9:46am Joe McG: @MikeD: Ha ha ha!
	9:47am Walt: Fun (?) fact of the day: The cover art of the LP "Magic Christian Music" by Badfinger is a takeoff of some of the recurring images in de Chirico's early paintings. de Chirico: d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.net... Badfinger: img.discogs.com...
	9:48am steveo: @walt good stuff
	9:48am the illuminated void: Hi koe. Usually catch your show when i cleaned my brothers restaurant Writing at home today. Peace
	9:49am Joe McG: Robyn Hitchcock also did a nice song called "De Chirico Street" inspired by his paintings.
	9:49am the illuminated void: sorry Joe
	👻 9:51am karlward: Who is singing harmony on this Dave Evans track? It's great.
	9:52am Joe McG: @IV: That's OK! Glad my show is practical.
	9:52am steveo: i love de chirico's oddly distorted perspective; can't find that song on wfmu playlists using google
	9:53am Joe McG: @Karlw: I don't know! Maybe one of the female folkies on The Village Thing label. Our promo has no notes. Find out for me and I'll tell the people. :)
	9:55am suzyhotrod: Joe McGasko! Thanks for making Monday mornings at my new corporate full time job pleasant, at least for my ears. (I'm crashing and burning in this world!) -Suzy
	9:55am steveo: @karlward @joe Adrienne Webber www.discogs.com...
	👻 9:56am karlward: Joe: Discogs and other sources on the web say it's Adrienne Webber singing harmony with Dave Evans. Digging further for clues.
	9:57am Joe McG: Oh, Suzy, glad I can ease your pain! Thanks for saying hi. @steveo and Karl: Thanks, fellas.
	9:58am SSS: @Suzy, the world is crashing and burning....just step back a bit, you'll be fine.
	10:00am paul: What the fu-hell?
	10:00am geoff mcq: This is definitely one of my favourite songs about tracheotomies. Ever.
	10:00am Asheville Jon: hahahaha! now i know there is a song about everything and anything
	10:01am exile-on-hicks-st: This is amazing.
	10:01am themutante: Madness. Love it!
	10:01am MD: THIS SONG HAS MADE MY WHOLE WEEK!!!! OMG!!! LOL!!!! WTF!!!!!
	10:01am Roberto: Oh hell yes, a song that mentions Conrad Bain (Connie to his friends).
	10:01am David in London: Trach Rock is my new favourite genre.
	10:02am MD: Good Morning all! How's the breathing???
	10:02am exile-on-hicks-st: I recall an episode of MASH when a doctor (Hawkeye? Honeycutt?) had to talk someone (Radar?) through a trach’ over a radio...
	10:03am Folsom: Yes mash with the pen
	10:03am Marc Francis: Wow. Happy Monday!
	10:03am paul: Hawkeye. Radar used a ball point pen.
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: He had to insert a straw or something... after that, I thought, if I had to, I could do it, too. Every time I see the trach’ scar, i think of that episode.
	10:04am Asheville Jon: any songs about appendicitis or perhaps exczema?
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: Waterloo Tracheotomy!
	10:04am The Oscar: Mornin'! I feel like this song pairs well with Sufjan Stevens's Tonya Harding song from last year.
	10:04am Listener Scott: Shouldn't the opportunity to sign this song be given to someone with a tracheotomy?
	10:04am exile-on-hicks-st: Thank you Paul!!
	10:05am paul: You're welcome!
	10:05am Joe McG: "Famous Tracheotomies" is my Song of the Week, no doubt. If I had a Song of the Week.
	👻 10:06am tadpoles: Okkervil River helped with Roxy Ericsson's comeback...have to be good. Very neat song.
	👻 10:07am tadpoles: Roky Erickson...doh!
	10:07am Kurt Gottschalk: is wooden ships ripping off buffalo springfield or nick gilder?
	10:08am Joe McG: @Kurt: Both! Hey Kurt, who won Eurovision?
	10:08am βrian: I want to pronounce that j as a diphthong.
	10:09am pantz: Wooden Shjips on the wjater, very free and jeasy.
	10:09am Kurt Gottschalk: you mean wfmurovision? MOLDOVA!!
	10:09am pantz: or yeezy?
	10:09am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha!
	10:10am Joe McG: @Kurt: You made that country up.
	10:10am David in London: @tadpoles - that typo gives me one Hell of an idea for a mash up...
	10:12am Kurt Gottschalk: no, stashu did.
	10:13am paul: And you thought only helicopters covered Traffic.
	10:15am Joe McG: @Kurt: She's a pip!
	10:18am The Oscar: The curse of growing up in the late 20th century is how many classic songs I first heard in commercials. I really wish I could hear this song without thinking that it's about Pizza Hut.
	10:18am Chi Bill: Big Sugar, adding to my 13 pages of band names I first heard here. Discovered WFMU around '04 on rental car radio. WFMU saves brain cells. Thanks Joe!
	10:19am Joe McG: You bet, Chi Bill!
	10:19am βrian: @TO: I meant to watch TV, but I kept getting distracted. Now I miss a lot of references. So it goes.
	10:20am βrian: Rental Car Radio. There's a fertile term. Maybe that could be incorporated into a billboard theme.
	10:21am northguineahills: I was more of a Montenegro fan myself....
	10:23am steveo: @chi bill -- Maybe it was me! I always set button #1 to WFMU when I get a rental car (which is several times a year in NYC)
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: Lydia!
	10:24am Chi Bill: Past 3 years, 13 pages of scribble both sides - estimate at least 500 band names. WFMU soothes the soul. HA! Stveo, defitely your preset! Bottom of FM dial is where the cool people go!
	10:25am steveo: haha yeah
	10:27am βrian: Which station is at the extreme left in NYC? That's always been one of WCBN's slogans.
	10:28am βrian: That horn section is going to stick with me like a hot bowl of Cream O' Wheat.
	10:28am steveo: wbgo at 88.3?
	10:29am queems: i’ve spent half of this show buffering because my work has shitty wifi but what i’ve heard has been great
	10:30am mahall: Who are Cold Blood and what have they done with Janis Joplin? That's the closest I've heard anyone even approach Janis. Wow, that kicked ASS.
	10:31am MD: trake me baby!!!
	10:32am steveo: Long Island University has a station in nassau county at 88.1 that i might get in brooklyn
	10:32am MD: trake my wife please!!!
	10:32am Walt: WRAS Atlanta: "Left on the dial, right on the music." Also "Keep it locked to the left." Formerly a great college station, Governor Deal gave 14 air hours a day to Georgia Public Broadcasting as a political payoff and the station has gone downhill since then IMO. This was after student fees had been raised for a few years to pay for a $500k transmitter (the station broadcasts at 100k watts).
	10:36am herb.nyc: i just got the new OKKERVIL RIVER too, and that is a great song. (oops, i used to say OAK-ERVIL RIVER until someone said it's "OCK-ERVIL ya twit")
	10:37am pantz: Brit Pop from the late 70's early 80's is the best.
	10:38am Larky-loo: Loved WRAS.. where I first heard the Clash
	10:38am Lixiviated Life: mercy indeed
	👻 10:41am Hughie Considine: Amazing how this 1962 single sounds like it could be from several other decades. Pre-Beatles '60s - it was all wide open.
	10:42am Chi Bill: So, cool people are far left. That settles that.
	10:42am steveo: But the winner in NYC has to be WNYZ-LP at 87.75 FM (TV channel 6) en.wikipedia.org... "During most of its life while operating on channel 6, the station has been operated more as a radio station than a television station. WNYZ-LP broadcasts video, usually silent movies which are repeated throughout the day, for the likely reason to fulfill the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirement that some sort of video be broadcast on the frequency because WNYZ-LP is licensed as a television facility." 'The audio programming on WNYZ was originally Russian Top 40 (Radio Vsyo - Russian for "Radio Everything"). Late in 2007, it was announced that the station would be changing the audio format to a Dance-intensive Rhythmic Top 40 format as "Pulse 87".'
	10:43am Asheville Jon: always great to hear ABBA !!!
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: I guess this is ABBA reacting to the glam era?
	10:44am Joe McG: @Hughie: Totally!
	10:47am Devin B.: Oh nice! Was just listening to He Said last week.
	10:50am paul: Take a Wham song and make it better.
	10:51am pantz: This should have been a reggae song all along!!!
	👻 10:52am Hughie Considine: Happy to say that "Guilty feet have got not rhythm" has been my WFMU personal statement for years. I feel so validated and iree.
	10:52am The Oscar: A question I once posed some friends: when you do air-sax, is the inevitable song "Careless Whisper" or "Baker Street?"
	10:52am the illuminated void: i do have to say Joe your weird refreshing mix is unique and genius. Like WFMU
	👻 10:53am Hughie Considine: @Oscar, I'd have to go with "Baker Street," by an evanescent curlicue of a sax lick ...
	10:56am paul: The Cowsills were a lot cooler than people realized.
	10:57am Joe McG: Thanks, IV! Single File is the most freeform (some would say "random") portion of the program.
	11:00am the illuminated void: "random" thats a knock on your style and taste of whom you are.. the genius of all the djs is a subtle magic of our individuality.
	11:01am βrian: Stochastic Joe. It works whatever it is.
	11:01am Brendan: That was a wistful set sloser
	11:01am Brendan: Closer
	11:01am jdubz: what is the background song? so good!!!
	11:02am paul: Don't forget Coven, Joe.
	11:03am northguineahills: @jdubz: Kevin Ayers.
	11:03am The Oscar: Wasn't the Billy Jack theme by Coven? That always struck me as one of the most hilarious musical Trojan horses of all time-- the rest of their material was overtly Satanic psych-rock!
	11:04am The Oscar: (d'oh-- just saw Paul's post!)
	11:04am Brendan: @jbubz that probably qualifies as the most asked question here. It’s called Crystal Clear - a demo by Kevin Ayers
	11:04am paul: Both groups did it.
	11:05am Mick: Original Caste did it first, but not on the Billy Jack soundtrack
	11:05am Mick: Pretty sure Coven was the Billy Jack version
	11:05am Mark in Toronto: Mr. Monday?
	11:06am paul: What Mick said.
	11:07am The Oscar: And strictly speaking, IIRC, the Billy Jack version just the singer from Coven with a session band, but she demanded they use the Coven name to promote her band.
	11:07am tom from Glasgow: honestly didn't know Roky Erikson was alive
	11:07am Mark in Toronto: In Canada, Mr. Monday was a charted hit by the Original Caste, but it did not chart in the USA
	11:07am frenchee: <sadly unpacks all those Montovani discs>
	11:07am Krys O.: Susannah is awesome!!!
	11:08am frenchee: @tom from Glasgow: not sure Roky knows either
	👻 11:08am Hughie Considine: I wonder if Stephin Merritt has any more stunt LPs left in him.
	11:10am tom from Glasgow: i like calling them sessions because i am, at heart, a child of John Peel
	11:11am Brendan: When Susannah comes by I ‘ll be coming by too . From Alabama. With a banjo on my ... oh shut up Brendan
	11:12am northguineahills: Sachiko, live, squeeeeeee!!!!!!
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: I had the same thought @Brendan. But I held back.
	11:12am northguineahills: Brendan answered that question better then I.
	11:12am tom from Glasgow: will you be coming round the mountain
	11:13am Ike: Re: 2020, you said it, Joe. When that happens, I'll plotz! Whatever that means.
	11:15am tom from Glasgow: in 2020 we'll all be able to see really well
	11:16am SSS: Plotz - To collapse in semi comic fatigue / dismay / confusion....if I get my Yiddish right.
	11:17am queems: so great!
	11:17am Ike: @Tom, GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAN (and/or obligatory rimshot sound effect)
	11:18am βrian: @Tom: Meaning hindsight?
	11:21am Joe McG: Sachiko was bummed that she didn't have her "Misora" guitar with her to play "Blue Fish" since the action is so different, but I think she did fine!
	11:21am Brendan: I must confess I don’t understand Japanese but the ‘bap a dap a doo doo’ part somehow speaks to me . I think we all retain a lifelong memory of those sounds as a baby . Or maybe we regurgitate the babble sounds adults serenaded us with as infants.
	11:22am βrian: They're selling advance tickets to Plotz 2020.
	11:22am steveo: lovely; so glad she came in and did this
	11:23am Joe McG: @Brendan: I'll briefly translate the songs afterwards at Sachiko's request!
	11:25am Jordan in Philly: Instant goosebumps: this session is sounding incredible, Joe! Thanks so much for making it happen. Cheers to you and Sachiko!
	11:30am Joe McG: You bet, Jordan! I love this new song "Wings of Light"!
	11:30am Brendan: Thanks Joe ( and Sachiko for being so thoughtful). They sound great in any lingo. And no sweat about not playing Blue Fish. I hear she makes up for it with a mean version of Green Grass and High Tides as the closer. Got my lighter ready.
	11:35am Mick: Thank you and Sachiko for this set - I agree this new song is beautiful!
	11:37am Krys O.: Such a treasure!
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: This is sublime.
	11:38am northguineahills: what everyone else said!
	11:42am northguineahills: Having WFMU in the lyrics is amazing!
	11:42am Joe McG: Great thanks to Sachiko for coming by in person and performing for us! Thanks to Mario for engineering.
	11:54am rjk: Hi Joe, thanks for arranging this. And Sachiko, if you see this, I'd just like to say I've loved your music for the longest time, it's great to hear you play them live! Sounded wonderful. Arigato!
	11:55am Brendan: What a great show. Thank you.
	11:55am pantz: I'm gonna keep an eye out for that P.K.Dick book
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe! And Sachiko!
	11:56am northguineahills: Is there anything Sachiko hasn't done? damn, that was awesome, thanks Joe shoshite Sachiko!
	11:58am ben abs: Thanks for a truly wonderful show Joe!
	11:58am tom from Glasgow: that was cool. thanks Joe! thanks Sachiko!
	11:59am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week!!
	11:59am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 12:00pm tadpoles: Thanks Joe. I know the artists don't get much but I may just have to go to the iTunes store and purchase her songs there.
	12:23pm Inner Ear Detour: Great show, Joe.
