	9:10am annie: i'm hoping there was minimal damage from the storm system last night...
	9:15am Brendan: This song reminds me of an old proverb. The porcupine who falls in love with an inflatable doll must rationalize that a platonic relationship can still be true love.
	9:15am Joe McG: Good Monday to you all, and thanks for saying hello. Starting slow this morning, will work up to the usual hardcore punk block.

	9:32am Joe McG: Blue Wave.
	9:34am pantz: Gothgrass
	👻 9:35am karlward: Joe: it's entirely possible you know about Frank Carlier and the Blue Wave, a friend of a friend: store.cdbaby.com...
	👻 9:36am karlward: Prog Fi
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: Stargazing.
	9:36am Joe McG: @karl: I did not! He's ahead of the curve, clearly.
	9:37am Brendan: Luxurious Platypus
	👻 9:38am karlward: R&_
	9:38am Joe McG: Gunk & bass.
	👻 9:39am karlward: Doob
	9:39am pantz: Psy-Thump
	9:40am Joe McG: Mom Rock.
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Half Man, Half Biscuit recorded an album called Trouble over Bridgwater (a town in Somerset)
	9:40am Sem: Death polka.
	👻 9:42am karlward: Mathcapella
	9:43am pantz: Pixie Sludge
	9:44am PKNY: @Sem - back in the 80s, I used to listen to Vassar's radio station regularly. On Monday nights, there was Polka from 6-9 PM, then thrash/death metal from 9-12 PM. I think I'd call the transition point between shows "death polka".
	👻 9:45am tadpoles: #Brian...I always thought Half Man, Half Biscuit was the greatest band name.
	9:45am Brendan: The slowed down Strokin bed music is great.
	9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: Fancy trance?
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: @tadpoles. Yes, English humour. Favourite title. Fuckin' hell. it's Fred Titmus.
	9:50am pantz: Dry Hump
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Slow Garage.
	9:50am PKNY: Soft/Hard Roll
	9:53am Sem: @PKNY: ha! So hard to be original...
	9:55am pantz: Post Insipid
	👻 9:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and pals. I hope the Monty Hall Booking Committee is working on bringing Mdou Moctar to the venue.
	9:56am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: @Brian, the only other track I've heard of from that album is All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit. I think that must have had some radio play, probably starting on the John Peel show
	9:56am Joe McG: @Ken: Funny you should mention. He'll be here on June 26th!
	👻 9:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, I'm psychotic, or psychic! One of those.
	9:59am B/wad: Fuckin' loving this desert blues set mang
	👻 9:59am Brian in UK: Go see Mdou Moctar.
	👻 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Mdou Moctar played in Beacon, NY, a couple years ago, but I didn't know about it until the show was underway. I should not miss this opportunity!
	👻 10:01am Brian in UK: @Kevin_Ringwood_UK. Just reading their album titles make me laugh. halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk...
	10:06am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: @Brian, yes, it's laugh out loud stuff, real tears in the eyes
	10:08am Andy the painter: hey joe! nice set....love this guitar. “calvary cross” next?
	10:10am Andy the painter: i wonder if its a certain mode they’re all paying in. tom verlaine too. always gets me.
	10:11am Joe McG: Hey Andy! (waving)
	10:14am coelacanth∅: Good Morning Joe and others ...digging this past ain't passed
	10:15am coelacanth∅: (the whole set really. came on during Mdou Moctar)
	10:16am Joe McG: Thanks, coelacanth! Nice to see folks on the board this morning.
	10:19am Booz: OK BrianUK just got tix to Moctar in September.
	10:19am Tiago from Portugal: Hi Joe, great show so far.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Odd. The thing that struck me about seeing Mdou Moctor was that he hardly ever looked at the fretboard. Most guitarists spend more time looking at their axe than taking in the atmosphere.
	10:20am Sem: ...the fuzz is tough...what was Lee ingesting when he wrote these amazing lyrics? Rhetorical question, 'natch.
	10:21am Joe McG: Many thanks, Tiago! Hope to get out to Portugal one day.
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: @Booz Money well spent. Bit like me today, well spent.
	10:23am Booz: Can't do better than spending oneself to Jack Palance.
	10:23am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Cool tunes!
	10:24am Brendan: Not bad, Jack!
	10:24am coelacanth∅: funny, that half man half biscuit site doesn't show "dickie davies eyes" -which i bought for the title (the band, which i'd never heard of at the time, and the album title)
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: We are getting into Hellwood country.
	10:25am Davee: SINGLES coming up!
	👻 10:29am tadpoles: #Brian...speaking of Brians....I haven't been able to look at Queen the same way since hearing Half Man's "Hair Like Brian May Blues". Great stuff.
	10:31am coelacanth∅: (...i guess dickie davies eyes is considered a single, even though there're 3 tracks)
	👻 10:32am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ it is on Back Again in the DHSS.
	10:33am Davee: WHO?
	10:34am Roberto: The same could be said of the B-52's and the db's. Since they're proper nouns and not governed by the rules of standard written English, we'll let 'er slide.
	10:34am Brendan: @Joe, maybe you could do some spoken word / industrial noise .
	10:36am coelacanth∅: ohhh...thanks Brian. i have it on a 12" single. i didn't know what i was buying! -not sorry though! even if the music wasn't good i'd be happy to have the package. (img.discogs.com...)
	10:36am Dominick: stereo 45 from 1963?
	10:36am Joe McG: @Roberto: Absolutely. @Brendan: Had I known there would be loud drilling and sawing underneath me today, maybe I would have prepared something special.
	10:37am Roberto: It's too bad Kenny G's Hour of Pain isn't on anymore. He could have just pointed the mic at the construction noise for the whole hour.
	10:38am Brendan: @Joe your shows are always special!
	👻 10:38am Brian in UK: Joe, time for that Rush special. Oh noooo.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Dominick: Just looked it up and it appears that my copy is a 1969 reissue. Guess they found a stereo master or rechanneled it?
	10:39am Joe McG: @Brendan: Aww, flattery will get you everywhere.
	10:40am Roberto: "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was used for a Toyota commercial or something in the '70s or '80s, I'm not exactly sure when. I just remember being confused by the sentence structure -- shouldn't it be "yes I am?"
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Do the Aldren Buzz.
	10:41am Joe McG: Moon Rock.
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe!
	10:45am Joe McG: This Raspberries-ish song is great for a sunny day, which this is not. At least in Jersey City. Hope it's sunny where you are! @Greg: Hi, Greg!
	10:46am Brendan: These kids nowadays are doin the mashed potato. Its a gateway to harder things like the Watusi. Heathens....
	10:46am Mike tp: good names...
	10:47am johnk77: great show:> rain just starting south south bronx
	10:47am Dominick: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:48am Mike tp: to the east Bayonne the west Secaucus...
	10:48am chresti at work: Hello from sunny Griffith Park, in LA
	👻 10:48am Hughie Considine: Can't hear this without thinking of the tragic demise of Johnny Roastbeef and his wife in Goodfellas.
	10:48am Joe McG: @john77: Uh-oh, hope we don't end up in Atlantis with Jude. @chresti: Perfect!
	10:49am The Oscar: Busy working, but just have to chime in with a whooooaaaaa.
	10:49am johnk77: 40 ft. above sea level here
	10:50am Brendan: Reminded of Hendrix (1984) doing the Atlantis spoken word thing
	10:50am Roberto: Apparently the idea that any song can be turned into Hey Jude isn't a new concept.
	10:50am Joe McG: @johnk77: Lower Manhattan will go, but you should be OK!
	10:51am coelacanth∅: Domonick @10.36 they definitely could have issued a stereo 45 in 1963 if they thought it was important enough. (that's probably not the case with a chantay's 45 though)
	👻 10:54am Hughie Considine: Singing about listening to specific singers is always so evocative. Like when Roger Daltrey siings about playing T-Rex.
	10:55am Brendan: Looks like we finally made it to the hardcore punk block
	10:56am Andrea in Jersey City: Hi! Love the songs, thanks!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brendan: Yes, love attack in progress! @Andrea: You're welcome, thanks for saying hello! :) @Hughie: There's a premium in there somewhere....
	10:57am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: E Costello "The Purse", Various Artists "Hillbillies in Hell Vol. 8", and the Sun Records compilation, which was a little disappointing. Hillbillies in Hell is a great series.
	11:00am Listener Alexandra: Greetings from (not East) California, Joe!
	👻 11:00am Hughie Considine: I hope so, @Joe!
	11:00am Krys O.: Yay, Kim!
	11:01am kuba: this sounds slightly off somehow, I love it
	11:01am Joe McG: @Alex: Sunny California checks in! Hey Krys from rainy New Jersey!
	11:02am Phillippe Bastille: Is East California a thing?
	11:03am Listener Alexandra: We're a little overcast today out here in the Southland. And no, East California isn't anything--it's mostly just desert you either drive through or got ATVing in.
	11:04am johnk77: heading to east california may
	👻 11:05am karlward: Phillippe: yes, East California is a genre of music, sounds kind of like the band Tortoise crossed with Miami bass.
	11:10am Pete: Hey Joe! Yes Indeed! "Kids in America" and "White Punks On Dope" have the same chord progression at the end. And they're almost the same tempo. I smell a lawsuit!
	11:13am Joe McG: @Pete: I didn't think it was just me! Maybe they were being cute and quoting it.
	11:13am Brendan: The Longmont Potion Castle movie should be good. The guy must be living like he’s in witness protection. Great albums.
	11:14am steveo: howdy, been lurking and loving the tunes
	👻 11:15am karlward: This Buckley is a barn burner.
	11:17am herb.nyc: hi joe, i didn't tune in last wk (nor now; i forgot my headphones and i'm at library) but i recall you had a guest. so i duckduckgo'd, and see the first 2 hits. fyi - Kinloch Nelson \| Guitar Player \| Fingerstyle Guitar \| Finger ... "Kinloch Nelson is a gifted performer and a brilliant arranger who can do wonders with virtually any song." — Dave Walker - ... Kinloch Nelson, M.D. - Virginia Urology - uro.com To schedule an appointment, call Virginia Urology at 804-
	11:18am KP in DC: Let’s see no, it was Fred Neil I heard on Samantha last night. But close though, right
	11:18am Joe McG: @Herb: Guitar or check-up, your choice!
	11:19am coelacanth∅: Therese played Tim Buckley last night. it was a treat to hear but this! "new Buckley"!
	11:21am coelacanth∅: i can hear in this more than ever before where Jeff got his singing style.
	11:22am Brendan: @herb good to know. In case the station has any problems with the stream.
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: nice one @brendan
	11:23am Joe McG: If Therese or Samantha also played Fugain et le Big Bazar I'm going home.
	11:24am Booz: That Fred Neil dolphin song was lovely
	11:24am annie: i have a question about bandcamp: how do i find a fellow "fan", in other words...is one able to create a list of "friends"
	11:24am ChrisB.: Wow. Art Tripp on drums with Tim? The same Art (Drumbo) Tripp who played with Zappa and Beefheart?
	11:25am Booz: Joe I'm pretty sure you made up Fugain.
	11:25am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: Belated thought - Kim Wilde was from Chiswick. I wondered at the time what she could really know about kids in America
	11:25am Sem: Lovin' this, Joe. Tres joli!
	11:26am Joe McG: @Booz: Ha ha. I have two albums by this guy.
	11:26am Brendan: Sounds like Copacabana of the Riviera
	11:26am herb.nyc: re urology & stream, it gives Yellow Submarine a whole diff meaning. -- as joe played Jack Palance, i recall him on johnny carson's tonight show. he said "and all i remember from the review was that the writer said i had yellow teeth".
	11:26am passiflora:
	11:27am passiflora: :cherry_blossom:
	11:27am ChrisB.: Oh, wait. Art Tripp's name with Beefheart was Ed Marimba.
	11:28am Booz: OMG Michel Fugain is still around. Still finding that improbable.
	11:28am Brendan: If you are going to Kyoto, be sure to wear some kanzashi in your hair
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: @Kevin. Her Dad sang a song called Abergavenny. Not sure if he ever went to Wales.
	11:31am Elle Elle: Ha, one of the things remaining in my dad's memory - he has dementia - is the Andrew Sisters' Rum and Coca Cola. he'd be correcting these lyrics right now
	11:31am KP in DC: Carter CC Collins from that Tim Buckley track was the house conga player at a Lake George resort I stayed at as a young teen
	11:31am johnk77: bill haley and his comments
	👻 11:32am Hughie Considine: As kids, my bro and I would go ape for the B-side of "Rock Around the Clock" -- "13 Women." Ann-Margret did a great cover ("13 Men")
	11:33am Booz: livin on the Yankee dollah
	11:34am Brendan: Old Bill makes me want to pour a can of 10-w 30 in my hair
	11:35am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: Abergavenny by Marty Wilde? It came out in Canada under his pseudonym Shannon
	11:35am johnk77: i so look forward to more hardcore punk
	11:36am coelacanth∅: when that 45 was in the house i liked 13 women better than the a side. that spooky guitar made it hilarious!
	11:36am johnk77: a show by a great rock dj makes me think about hair and other bodily functions
	11:37am johnk77: @booz correct!
	11:37am Sem: @Brendan, I see what you mean: 1955.unserjahrgang.de...
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: @Mark Oh really. I thought Shannon was in Ireland.
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: I guess we favored it over the A-side too @Coel -- hypnotic guitar indeed. And a cool story to boot!
	11:39am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great way to start off the week on a rainy day. Thanks, Joe!
	11:41am Andrea in Jersey City: Great start to the week
	11:42am Brendan: Songs about people ...who need people
	11:42am Joe McG: Thanks, guys, thanks for spending it with me as I grow old.
	11:43am Brendan: @Joe! Did you sneak a birthday in on us?
	11:43am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: That may well be, but the single was was credited to "Shannon" here, i don't know why. It got airplay, i remember it. Did you see my comment to you earlier on RSD purchases?
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Great to hear the late Kevin Coyne. Joe, tricksy show today but good nonetheless.
	11:44am coelacanth∅: hey Bill Haley became a rock n roll star when he was around 30. -don't choose to be old!
	11:44am Joe McG: @Brendan: Belated recognition of the significance of the last one.
	11:45am Mark in Toronto: Just went to see the Amazing Grace movie last night, highly recommended. Mick Jagger puts in a brief surprising "cameo"
	11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: I like that! Definitely a tricksy show. @Mark: It's changed the way I hear the album a bit, for good or ill.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Mark, sorry missed it. Looks good. Living in the country there are no shops nearby. Hope to check out one this week. I am sure that it will not be sold out.
	11:49am Mark in Toronto: It's funny to see things in stores still there from last year, or the year before, that just didn't sell. Won't somebody take this off our hands? Why is the Shocking Blue singles collection being released AGAIN this year? Where is the exclusivity!!!
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @Mark, taking a trip up to Abergavenny hoping the weather is fine. If you should see a black dog running free, well you know that it's mine. Think those are some lyrics from memory. Despite the fact that there are so many American towns with UK names, the USA seems to have more evocative names.
	11:50am Phillippe Bastille: Sweet show, Joe #1. 'til next week...
	11:51am Joe McG: Thanks, Phillippe! Joe #2 on the way soon!
	11:55am Joe McG: Have a great week everyone! Thanks for listening and commenting!
	11:56am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the non-taxing show today, Joe. I do regret to inform you that Therese played a Wreckless Eric track last night. Love that New Bin!
	11:56am Irene Trudel: I think my favorite moment in that Aretha film comes during her performance of this song. The choir director breaks down weeping (as I almost did) at the beauty of Aretha's voice. Great show as always, Joe!
	11:58am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Irene Trudel: Tim Buckley wailing, as the rain wails outside my window. www.facebook.com...
	11:59am Kelly Jones: Mornin' Joe and the crew

	9:07am Cmurtha: Morning everyone
	9:10am annie: i'm hoping there was minimal damage from the storm system last night...
	9:15am Brendan: This song reminds me of an old proverb. The porcupine who falls in love with an inflatable doll must rationalize that a platonic relationship can still be true love.
	9:15am Joe McG: Good Monday to you all, and thanks for saying hello. Starting slow this morning, will work up to the usual hardcore punk block.
	9:21am davefromtoronto: hi john! always around just not always commenting. hope you're good!
	👻 9:21am karlward: Looking forward to the hardcore punk.
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I am sure that we could have fun inventing new musical genres.
	9:23am Sem: Good morning, Joe, McGaskoes, the landed gentry, the bobbi gentry, the bobolinks, and all. Enjoying this one very much.
	9:23am Joe McG: @Brian: Let's. Here's one: Chillcore.

	9:32am Joe McG: Blue Wave.
	9:34am pantz: Gothgrass
	👻 9:35am karlward: Joe: it's entirely possible you know about Frank Carlier and the Blue Wave, a friend of a friend: store.cdbaby.com...
	👻 9:36am karlward: Prog Fi
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: Stargazing.

	9:38am Joe McG: Gunk & bass.
	👻 9:39am karlward: Doob
	9:39am pantz: Psy-Thump
	9:40am Joe McG: Mom Rock.
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Half Man, Half Biscuit recorded an album called Trouble over Bridgwater (a town in Somerset)
	9:40am Sem: Death polka.
	👻 9:42am karlward: Mathcapella
	9:43am pantz: Pixie Sludge
	9:44am PKNY: @Sem - back in the 80s, I used to listen to Vassar's radio station regularly. On Monday nights, there was Polka from 6-9 PM, then thrash/death metal from 9-12 PM. I think I'd call the transition point between shows "death polka".
	👻 9:45am tadpoles: #Brian...I always thought Half Man, Half Biscuit was the greatest band name.
	9:45am Brendan: The slowed down Strokin bed music is great.
	9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: Fancy trance?
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: @tadpoles. Yes, English humour. Favourite title. Fuckin' hell. it's Fred Titmus.
	9:50am pantz: Dry Hump
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Slow Garage.
	9:50am PKNY: Soft/Hard Roll
	9:53am Sem: @PKNY: ha! So hard to be original...
	9:55am pantz: Post Insipid
	👻 9:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and pals. I hope the Monty Hall Booking Committee is working on bringing Mdou Moctar to the venue.
	9:56am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: @Brian, the only other track I've heard of from that album is All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit. I think that must have had some radio play, probably starting on the John Peel show
	9:56am Joe McG: @Ken: Funny you should mention. He'll be here on June 26th!
	👻 9:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, I'm psychotic, or psychic! One of those.
	9:59am B/wad: Fuckin' loving this desert blues set mang
	👻 9:59am Brian in UK: Go see Mdou Moctar.
	👻 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Mdou Moctar played in Beacon, NY, a couple years ago, but I didn't know about it until the show was underway. I should not miss this opportunity!
	👻 10:01am Brian in UK: @Kevin_Ringwood_UK. Just reading their album titles make me laugh. halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk...
	10:06am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: @Brian, yes, it's laugh out loud stuff, real tears in the eyes
	10:08am Andy the painter: hey joe! nice set....love this guitar. “calvary cross” next?
	10:10am Andy the painter: i wonder if its a certain mode they’re all paying in. tom verlaine too. always gets me.
	10:11am Joe McG: Hey Andy! (waving)
	10:14am coelacanth∅: Good Morning Joe and others ...digging this past ain't passed
	10:15am coelacanth∅: (the whole set really. came on during Mdou Moctar)
	10:16am Joe McG: Thanks, coelacanth! Nice to see folks on the board this morning.
	10:19am Booz: OK BrianUK just got tix to Moctar in September.
	10:19am Tiago from Portugal: Hi Joe, great show so far.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Odd. The thing that struck me about seeing Mdou Moctor was that he hardly ever looked at the fretboard. Most guitarists spend more time looking at their axe than taking in the atmosphere.
	10:20am Sem: ...the fuzz is tough...what was Lee ingesting when he wrote these amazing lyrics? Rhetorical question, 'natch.
	10:21am Joe McG: Many thanks, Tiago! Hope to get out to Portugal one day.
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: @Booz Money well spent. Bit like me today, well spent.
	10:23am Booz: Can't do better than spending oneself to Jack Palance.
	10:23am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Cool tunes!
	10:24am Brendan: Not bad, Jack!
	10:24am coelacanth∅: funny, that half man half biscuit site doesn't show "dickie davies eyes" -which i bought for the title (the band, which i'd never heard of at the time, and the album title)
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: We are getting into Hellwood country.
	10:25am Davee: SINGLES coming up!
	👻 10:29am tadpoles: #Brian...speaking of Brians....I haven't been able to look at Queen the same way since hearing Half Man's "Hair Like Brian May Blues". Great stuff.
	10:31am coelacanth∅: (...i guess dickie davies eyes is considered a single, even though there're 3 tracks)
	👻 10:32am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ it is on Back Again in the DHSS.
	10:33am Davee: WHO?
	10:34am Roberto: The same could be said of the B-52's and the db's. Since they're proper nouns and not governed by the rules of standard written English, we'll let 'er slide.
	10:34am Brendan: @Joe, maybe you could do some spoken word / industrial noise .
	10:36am coelacanth∅: ohhh...thanks Brian. i have it on a 12" single. i didn't know what i was buying! -not sorry though! even if the music wasn't good i'd be happy to have the package. (img.discogs.com...)
	10:36am Dominick: stereo 45 from 1963?
	10:36am Joe McG: @Roberto: Absolutely. @Brendan: Had I known there would be loud drilling and sawing underneath me today, maybe I would have prepared something special.
	10:37am Roberto: It's too bad Kenny G's Hour of Pain isn't on anymore. He could have just pointed the mic at the construction noise for the whole hour.
	10:38am Brendan: @Joe your shows are always special!
	👻 10:38am Brian in UK: Joe, time for that Rush special. Oh noooo.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Dominick: Just looked it up and it appears that my copy is a 1969 reissue. Guess they found a stereo master or rechanneled it?
	10:39am Joe McG: @Brendan: Aww, flattery will get you everywhere.
	10:40am Roberto: "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was used for a Toyota commercial or something in the '70s or '80s, I'm not exactly sure when. I just remember being confused by the sentence structure -- shouldn't it be "yes I am?"
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Do the Aldren Buzz.
	10:41am Joe McG: Moon Rock.
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe!
	10:45am Joe McG: This Raspberries-ish song is great for a sunny day, which this is not. At least in Jersey City. Hope it's sunny where you are! @Greg: Hi, Greg!
	10:46am Brendan: These kids nowadays are doin the mashed potato. Its a gateway to harder things like the Watusi. Heathens....
	10:46am Mike tp: good names...
	10:47am johnk77: great show:> rain just starting south south bronx
	10:47am Dominick: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:48am Mike tp: to the east Bayonne the west Secaucus...
	10:48am chresti at work: Hello from sunny Griffith Park, in LA
	👻 10:48am Hughie Considine: Can't hear this without thinking of the tragic demise of Johnny Roastbeef and his wife in Goodfellas.
	10:48am Joe McG: @john77: Uh-oh, hope we don't end up in Atlantis with Jude. @chresti: Perfect!
	10:49am The Oscar: Busy working, but just have to chime in with a whooooaaaaa.
	10:49am johnk77: 40 ft. above sea level here
	10:50am Brendan: Reminded of Hendrix (1984) doing the Atlantis spoken word thing
	10:50am Roberto: Apparently the idea that any song can be turned into Hey Jude isn't a new concept.
	10:50am Joe McG: @johnk77: Lower Manhattan will go, but you should be OK!
	10:51am coelacanth∅: Domonick @10.36 they definitely could have issued a stereo 45 in 1963 if they thought it was important enough. (that's probably not the case with a chantay's 45 though)
	👻 10:54am Hughie Considine: Singing about listening to specific singers is always so evocative. Like when Roger Daltrey siings about playing T-Rex.
	10:55am Brendan: Looks like we finally made it to the hardcore punk block
	10:56am Andrea in Jersey City: Hi! Love the songs, thanks!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brendan: Yes, love attack in progress! @Andrea: You're welcome, thanks for saying hello! :) @Hughie: There's a premium in there somewhere....
	10:57am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: E Costello "The Purse", Various Artists "Hillbillies in Hell Vol. 8", and the Sun Records compilation, which was a little disappointing. Hillbillies in Hell is a great series.
	11:00am Listener Alexandra: Greetings from (not East) California, Joe!
	👻 11:00am Hughie Considine: I hope so, @Joe!
	11:00am Krys O.: Yay, Kim!
	11:01am kuba: this sounds slightly off somehow, I love it
	11:01am Joe McG: @Alex: Sunny California checks in! Hey Krys from rainy New Jersey!
	11:02am Phillippe Bastille: Is East California a thing?
	11:03am Listener Alexandra: We're a little overcast today out here in the Southland. And no, East California isn't anything--it's mostly just desert you either drive through or got ATVing in.
	11:04am johnk77: heading to east california may
	👻 11:05am karlward: Phillippe: yes, East California is a genre of music, sounds kind of like the band Tortoise crossed with Miami bass.
	11:10am Pete: Hey Joe! Yes Indeed! "Kids in America" and "White Punks On Dope" have the same chord progression at the end. And they're almost the same tempo. I smell a lawsuit!
	11:13am Joe McG: @Pete: I didn't think it was just me! Maybe they were being cute and quoting it.
	11:13am Brendan: The Longmont Potion Castle movie should be good. The guy must be living like he’s in witness protection. Great albums.
	11:14am steveo: howdy, been lurking and loving the tunes
	👻 11:15am karlward: This Buckley is a barn burner.
	11:17am herb.nyc: hi joe, i didn't tune in last wk (nor now; i forgot my headphones and i'm at library) but i recall you had a guest. so i duckduckgo'd, and see the first 2 hits. fyi - Kinloch Nelson \| Guitar Player \| Fingerstyle Guitar \| Finger ... "Kinloch Nelson is a gifted performer and a brilliant arranger who can do wonders with virtually any song." — Dave Walker - ... Kinloch Nelson, M.D. - Virginia Urology - uro.com To schedule an appointment, call Virginia Urology at 804-
	11:18am KP in DC: Let’s see no, it was Fred Neil I heard on Samantha last night. But close though, right
	11:18am Joe McG: @Herb: Guitar or check-up, your choice!
	11:19am coelacanth∅: Therese played Tim Buckley last night. it was a treat to hear but this! "new Buckley"!
	11:21am coelacanth∅: i can hear in this more than ever before where Jeff got his singing style.
	11:22am Brendan: @herb good to know. In case the station has any problems with the stream.
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: nice one @brendan
	11:23am Joe McG: If Therese or Samantha also played Fugain et le Big Bazar I'm going home.
	11:24am Booz: That Fred Neil dolphin song was lovely
	11:24am annie: i have a question about bandcamp: how do i find a fellow "fan", in other words...is one able to create a list of "friends"
	11:24am ChrisB.: Wow. Art Tripp on drums with Tim? The same Art (Drumbo) Tripp who played with Zappa and Beefheart?
	11:25am Booz: Joe I'm pretty sure you made up Fugain.
	11:25am Kevin_Ringwood_ UK: Belated thought - Kim Wilde was from Chiswick. I wondered at the time what she could really know about kids in America
	11:25am Sem: Lovin' this, Joe. Tres joli!
	11:26am Joe McG: @Booz: Ha ha. I have two albums by this guy.
	11:26am Brendan: Sounds like Copacabana of the Riviera
	11:26am herb.nyc: re urology & stream, it gives Yellow Submarine a whole diff meaning. -- as joe played Jack Palance, i recall him on johnny carson's tonight show. he said "and all i remember from the review was that the writer said i had yellow teeth".
	11:26am passiflora:
	11:27am passiflora: :cherry_blossom:
	11:27am ChrisB.: Oh, wait. Art Tripp's name with Beefheart was Ed Marimba.
	11:28am Booz: OMG Michel Fugain is still around. Still finding that improbable.
	11:28am Brendan: If you are going to Kyoto, be sure to wear some kanzashi in your hair
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: @Kevin. Her Dad sang a song called Abergavenny. Not sure if he ever went to Wales.
	11:31am Elle Elle: Ha, one of the things remaining in my dad's memory - he has dementia - is the Andrew Sisters' Rum and Coca Cola. he'd be correcting these lyrics right now
	11:31am KP in DC: Carter CC Collins from that Tim Buckley track was the house conga player at a Lake George resort I stayed at as a young teen
	11:31am johnk77: bill haley and his comments
	👻 11:32am Hughie Considine: As kids, my bro and I would go ape for the B-side of "Rock Around the Clock" -- "13 Women." Ann-Margret did a great cover ("13 Men")
	11:33am Booz: livin on the Yankee dollah
	11:34am Brendan: Old Bill makes me want to pour a can of 10-w 30 in my hair
	11:35am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: Abergavenny by Marty Wilde? It came out in Canada under his pseudonym Shannon
	11:35am johnk77: i so look forward to more hardcore punk
	11:36am coelacanth∅: when that 45 was in the house i liked 13 women better than the a side. that spooky guitar made it hilarious!
	11:36am johnk77: a show by a great rock dj makes me think about hair and other bodily functions
	11:37am johnk77: @booz correct!
	11:37am Sem: @Brendan, I see what you mean: 1955.unserjahrgang.de...
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: @Mark Oh really. I thought Shannon was in Ireland.
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: I guess we favored it over the A-side too @Coel -- hypnotic guitar indeed. And a cool story to boot!
	11:39am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great way to start off the week on a rainy day. Thanks, Joe!
	11:41am Andrea in Jersey City: Great start to the week
	11:42am Brendan: Songs about people ...who need people
	11:42am Joe McG: Thanks, guys, thanks for spending it with me as I grow old.
	11:43am Brendan: @Joe! Did you sneak a birthday in on us?
	11:43am Mark in Toronto: @Brian in UK: That may well be, but the single was was credited to "Shannon" here, i don't know why. It got airplay, i remember it. Did you see my comment to you earlier on RSD purchases?
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Great to hear the late Kevin Coyne. Joe, tricksy show today but good nonetheless.
	11:44am coelacanth∅: hey Bill Haley became a rock n roll star when he was around 30. -don't choose to be old!
	11:44am Joe McG: @Brendan: Belated recognition of the significance of the last one.
	11:45am Mark in Toronto: Just went to see the Amazing Grace movie last night, highly recommended. Mick Jagger puts in a brief surprising "cameo"
	11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: I like that! Definitely a tricksy show. @Mark: It's changed the way I hear the album a bit, for good or ill.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Mark, sorry missed it. Looks good. Living in the country there are no shops nearby. Hope to check out one this week. I am sure that it will not be sold out.
	11:49am Mark in Toronto: It's funny to see things in stores still there from last year, or the year before, that just didn't sell. Won't somebody take this off our hands? Why is the Shocking Blue singles collection being released AGAIN this year? Where is the exclusivity!!!
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @Mark, taking a trip up to Abergavenny hoping the weather is fine. If you should see a black dog running free, well you know that it's mine. Think those are some lyrics from memory. Despite the fact that there are so many American towns with UK names, the USA seems to have more evocative names.
	11:50am Phillippe Bastille: Sweet show, Joe #1. 'til next week...
	11:51am Joe McG: Thanks, Phillippe! Joe #2 on the way soon!
	11:55am Joe McG: Have a great week everyone! Thanks for listening and commenting!
	11:56am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the non-taxing show today, Joe. I do regret to inform you that Therese played a Wreckless Eric track last night. Love that New Bin!
	11:56am Irene Trudel: I think my favorite moment in that Aretha film comes during her performance of this song. The choir director breaks down weeping (as I almost did) at the beauty of Aretha's voice. Great show as always, Joe!
	11:58am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Irene Trudel: Tim Buckley wailing, as the rain wails outside my window. www.facebook.com...
	11:59am Kelly Jones: Mornin' Joe and the crew
