	♥ 9:21am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Guido, long time, no see.
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: Hey everybody, welcome to the show!
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: And lo! It is SWAGVENT at the Haversackerai!
	9:27am djsheilab: So dreamy!
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: I think I'm still sleeping, Sheila B! :)
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: Best part: JA in the AM shot glass wrapped up inside the new Sophisticated Boom Boom T-shirt!
	♥ 9:31am listener Rey: Hiya Joe and listeners. I'm liking the way you're easing us into the morning with all this Ghost Box material
	♥ 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Orange juice shots for breakfast, Handy?
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: It'll look a little silly in the Marty koozie, Ken, but that's no reason not to!
	9:34am YETI BOB: This is not really helping me get up-and-atem.
	♥ 9:38am Mark Hurst: Great opening set, Joe! Hi, all.
	9:40am Mike W.: Very swandy, Haggy!
	♥ 9:43am LastVisibleDog: Great introduction to this label...I'd never heard of them.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Threemoons: This is such an amazing and poignant song. I still get mail from my place's prior tenant, but at least she lives in the building. BUT...once in a blue moon I get mail for a lady who lived at my place at least 3 tenancies ago.....kind of spooky.
	♥ 9:50am The Oscar: Mornin'! My partner and I are about to pass the 11-year mark at our current apartment, and we STILL get junk mail for the previous tenant!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Threemoons: At my address, I still get mail for two tenants ago.
	♥ 9:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Mail getting sent to a departed tenant is arguably a better premise than an ex signing you up for unwanted magazines and tourism brochures.
	9:51am HyperDose: Oh yeah, this is rockin'!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am Threemoons: @Joe McG wow...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Threemoons: A friend of mine inherited the loft he grew up in on Greene Street and he has never moved out-it has been his address since birth. His Dad passed in the early 90's and he STILL gets jury duty summons addressed to his late father as well as morbid stuff like...funeral home and cemetery ads addressed to his late Dad. He's been keeping a photo log of the snarky replies that he's been writing on the envelopes along with the Return to Sender general stamp....
	9:54am Kpx: Helloey Joey McGaskoey
	♥ 9:56am Phillippe: we've been getting the occasional threatening-looking envelope from medical billing departments for the prior owner who died a year and a half ago at the nursing home.
	9:57am βrian: Send them a check for $0.39. That oughtta get 'em going.
	♥ 10:00am chresti: Morning Joe and up and at 'em people!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Jim the Poet: I am having the weirdest dream
	♥ 10:05am Peter from Dover NJ: The state manages to my street address from 36 years ago to my current address. Still get my income tax refund tho.
	♥ 10:07am LastVisibleDog: Wow this track sounds SOOO much like Pin Group's Coat
	10:08am waters7: this set was a perfect build up for Linda!
	♥ 10:09am chresti: Phillippe, we keep getting mail for Franco's aunt who's been gone since 2000 something.
	10:09am dano59: Oh man i love Linda Smith; so great to hear her here. Instantly recognizable.
	10:12am Rod Serling: I received mail for the previous occupant at my place. I wrote “return to sender“ on it.Turns out the sender moved, and the previous occupant here is now the new occupant there. So they got their letter.
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, all!
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe: @chresti if I knew where the woman was buried, I'd forward the mail to the cemetery
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: Damn, missed the Ghost Box blowout.
	♥ 10:13am Phillippe: Hey Little Danny! Thanks for the sod-unrolling tunes yesterday!
	10:14am βrian: "Les mouettes ne sont pas muettes."
	10:14am Kpx: I hear a smashing pumpkins 1979 riff in that last song.
	10:16am paul: I hear Gary Numan's Cars in this one.
	♥ 10:17am Alvy Singer: When I lived on E.58th Street my phone number on the land line used to belong to Brooke Shields. Her Uncle would call us from Miami and leave a lengthy detailed voice mail message about his upcoming day or previous evening. Actor Kevin Nealon would also phone the number too.
	♥ 10:18am Little Danny: Hey you're welcome Phillippe, everything line up neatly?
	10:19am cobradan: Joe is killing it this morning
	♥ 10:22am Phillippe: As much as possible, LD. Filling in a curving path so there's a little gap here and there but nature's going to take care of that for me. At least that's what I'm telling my bride.
	10:22am Pomvanroy: Always good to hear Welsh on WFMU
	♥ 10:27am karlward: I am that detuned bass
	♥ 10:27am karlward: We formed like Voltron and I just happened to be the detuned bass
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Jim the Poet: I like the Spud Cannon
	10:30am paul: Drink some water, Joe
	♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Can someone drop off a glass of water for the DJ? One good turn deserves another!
	♥ 10:32am karlward: Marion?
	♥ 10:32am Joe McG: @paul/Ken: Yeah, sorry, I had some before the mic break, but it didn't help!
	10:32am Mike W.: good Field music
	♥ 10:33am melinda: I have happy memories of listening to the Peter, Paul & Mary version on this on 8-track in my grandmother's car.
	10:33am paul: Joe, put a little bourbon in it.
	10:34am E: My favorite Pooh Sticks song!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @paul: Great idea, I could use it today.
	10:34am Mike W.: I have this 45 (not in the Field with me though)
	10:35am paul: @Joe, LOL!
	♥ 10:35am G: College Rock, they called this genre lol. Before the term "alternative" came into use. Early Magnetic fields is similarish.
	10:36am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! Digging this morning’s sounds thus far. And yet being teased with “my neighbours are weird” with no follow through is leaving me feeling cheated ;)
	♥ 10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Alternative' - the perfect label to Ghettoize & compartmentalize... Otoh- was it more charming & Our Own when it was more Underground as College Rawk... Buddy Holly Lives.
	♥ 10:37am Little Da nny: Bad neighbors are hell on us introverts.
	♥ 10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when I saw the term 'Adult Alternative' ...then I knew...
	♥ 10:38am ChrisB.: Is this a B side of Eric's?
	10:38am Brendan: Wreckless Eric should get together with Delicate Steve
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @ChrisB: No, it's the A.
	10:39am E: College Rock is not necessarily the go-to for more of the indie pop stuff like Magnetic Fields. College Rock sound is more in the R.E.M. territory
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have ended up in court as the rest of a pent-up reaction to prolonged neighbor's noise @ night. I call MagFieds 'SmartPop' - descendants of RayDaviesas I see it - as PowerPop was a term coined by Townshend...
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: as *result of ...so traumatized I can never type efficiently again...
	♥ 10:44am Krys O.: Good ole Mike Batt.
	♥ 10:44am melinda: @Andres I wanted to hear more too
	10:44am Mike Sin: Enjoyed your show on the ride to the beach today. Now digging single file right on the beach!
	10:44am paul: This song was released the year I was born. It's an oldie!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Enjoy your beach day, Mike!
	♥ 10:48am Stanley: Joe - you got it?
	♥ 10:48am Krys O.: YESSSSSS! Love this Pigmeat song.
	♥ 10:49am Stanley: Here Comes the Judge - you got it!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Stanley: I had it!
	10:49am Brendan: This reminds me of Flip Wilson
	10:49am paul: From beautiful downtown Burbank. Cue Sammy Davis Jr.
	♥ 10:50am chresti: Rap/hip hop!
	♥ 10:51am tim from washington: Hey Joe! Pigmeat!
	10:51am paul: Here come da judge.
	10:52am Brendan: Honey I’ve been thinking of baby names. Let’s call our kid Pigmeat.
	♥ 10:53am David (in London): Pigmeat Markham to Nik Kershaw is a quantum transition that might destabilise the space-time continuum, Joe. Please reverse the polarities!
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @David: Ha ha ha @Brendan: Great idea!
	10:54am Kpx: Little Danny @ 10:37- that's a big affirmative!
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: Pigmeat was HUGE! He popularized the truckin' dance, had a big hit with Open the Door, Richard.
	10:57am Stashu on the app: Joe is a gem
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: Stashu is a jewel
	10:58am Kpx: Brendan: you mean like ham steak, bacon, and pork chop.
	♥ 10:58am Krys O.: Golly! We all knew every word of this Paper Lace song back when we were kids.
	10:58am ratso: Glory Be!
	10:58am Brendan: Oh man…
	♥ 10:59am G: This Paper Lace was huge in the UK when I was living there in 73.
	♥ 10:59am david_r: The Night Chicago Died was #1 this week in 1974 (we get American Top 40 reruns on Sundays here).
	♥ 10:59am Stanley: This record is borderline...
	11:00am Rick A: Hi Joe and All, This was the first single I ever owned. My dad brought it home even though I had never heard it before. I wore it out, subsequently.
	♥ 11:00am David (in London): Stanley don't be a hero...
	♥ 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Knew it was A.M. Gold - but don't remember being super-saturated with it... Remember mostly from ads for K-Tels I think !.
	♥ 11:00am david_r: It's like a kids' record.
	♥ 11:01am Stanley: David - someone had to step up.
	♥ 11:01am Rich in Bay Ridge: The Night Chicago Died is not a great song, but it's a hell of a record (if that's possible)
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @david_r: Wow, thanks for letting me know.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Paper Lace had a singing drummer, if memory serves.
	11:02am Brendan: That was truly a quirky song
	11:02am DJ Guin: "Darn it McGasko! You're INSANE...but you might just be a genius." - from every biopic ever
	♥ 11:04am karlward: That'll learn him
	♥ 11:04am karlward: We had framed pictures of Elvis up in our home when I was a kid, like he was family
	11:04am paul: Elvis died on this day in 1977
	♥ 11:05am McGroovey: Hates? Gosh.
	♥ 11:05am tim from washington: What?!? Whoever doesn't like 'Kentucky Rain" doesn't have a heart.
	♥ 11:05am karlward: Come to think of it, I have a framed picture of Elvis up in my home now.
	11:05am Kpx: Mike Sin: which beach are you going to, I always wanted to visit Rockaway Beach myself.
	♥ 11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977 ...Changed the entire orientation between Spirit & Body for White People.
	♥ 11:06am tim from washington: Hootsy Owl
	♥ 11:06am david_r: Woodsy.
	♥ 11:06am JG: Long Live the King
	11:06am frenchee: Hooty
	♥ 11:07am suzyhotrod: I just spit out my coffee at the news of Ken not liking Elvis. But this reminds me, please confirm. You, Joe McG, have spoken you do not like Black Sabbath AND you don't like Moonstruck. True?
	♥ 11:07am brooklynbanzai: Give a hoot don't pollute
	11:07am de fenestrated: woodsy the owl
	11:07am Baltimoron: Woodsy the Owl
	11:07am OsloCoffee: One of my first jobs was being Woodsy the Owl
	♥ 11:07am tim from washington: That's right, Woodsy!
	11:08am wee: Woodsy Owl no 'the'
	11:08am DJ Guin: On the River or In the Woods Help Keep America Looking good!
	11:08am OsloCoffee: My mom worked for Keep America Beautiful
	11:08am DJ Guin: <<we f*cked up THAT one>>
	♥ 11:08am David (in London): Chris Spedding was actually one of the Wombles band when they played live. He figured that since he was wearing a costume, no-one would know it was him. Unfortunately, playing every night, with only one costume, made of 70s fabrics, I think it was pretty unpleasant by the end of it...
	11:08am Brendan: There was also the native American paddling his canoe along a polluted lake With a tear in his eye.
	♥ 11:08am Dirty Bird in Washington: That's the stuff!
	11:09am TVP: All I can think of when I think of talking cartoon owls is the Tootsie Roll Pop owl.
	11:09am Marc15: Hearing “The Night Chicago Died” brought back grammar school memories. My friends would sing that song in the cafeteria ad nauseam. We all knew the words by heart
	11:09am paul: Brendan, Iron Eyes Cody was actually of Italian descent.
	11:09am Ha?: Yes you never saw those 2 owls together
	11:09am Marc15: My friends and I **
	11:10am DJ Guin: this dude was not Native, but... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:10am tim from washington: Moonstruck is a good movie. Much like how I feel about Frank Sinatra, I like Cher as an actor much more than I like her music.
	♥ 11:10am Brian in UK: David (in London). I think that Mike Batt's mum made the costumes.
	♥ 11:10am david_r: Were were admonished: "Don't make the Indian cry."
	♥ 11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ✟ SAAABBBATH ✟ ...Creeepiest ever: Johnny Smoke the anti-smoking cowboy cigarette cartoon...
	11:11am Mookie: Moonstruck is Italian American propaganda
	11:11am paul: @tim from washington, I agree. Same with Streisand.
	♥ 11:11am tim from washington: Techtonic and Music For Mind Control meet at last!
	♥ 11:12am David (in London): Brian. I love mums being the merch production. Like Howard Jones' mother making all the replica jumpers.
	♥ 11:12am tim from washington: @paul - Yes! You're right. Barbara Streisand is great in Nuts.
	11:13am DJ Guin: "The Joni Mitchell song "Lakota", from the 1988 album, Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, features Cody's chanting. He made a cameo appearance in the 1990 film Spirit of '76."
	♥ 11:13am david_r: Barbra Streisand is kinda ridiculous as an actress in "What's Up, Doc?" but it fits the movie.
	11:14am paul: @Joe, still time to slip in one Elvis tune.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @paul: Maybe I will. Although I'd rather celebrate his birthday than his death day.
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes to B-Days over DeathDays.
	11:16am Brendan: Screaming hippies dammit
	♥ 11:17am tim from washington: Wow! This is some Bob Brainen rock right here. I hope Numero puts this on wax.
	11:17am paul: Good point Joe, but he has to share that with Bowie.
	♥ 11:18am Krys O.: I have Elvis Presley fridge magnets. My cat Harvey kept knocking the one of Elvis in swimming trunks. Had to move it out of reach.
	11:18am Kpx: Well I can tell you this, Dave the spazz absolutely loves elbow parsley.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @Kpx: So do I, although I hardly ever play him. He doesn't need me to!
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Joe, I wanted to send you a picture of SWAGVENT, but apparently my camera will no longer connect to the computer. I am, once again, defeated by forces I don't understand and can barely keep up with. But take it as thanks, and if I ever can, I'll send the pix along. In the meantime, I'll be building a panic room out of wood and cloth.
	♥ 11:21am karlward: My mom sent our kids some Elvis trading cards recently
	♥ 11:22am karlward: And long ago the kids memorized "Elvis is Everywhere" by Mojo Nixon
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: I think I have something by Elyse Weinberg that I bought after hearing it and loving it (maybe on this show). I filled it under W and forgot about it. Now I have to remember to look for it when I get home.
	♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Drive a ship?
	♥ 11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'America is great when it does great things'... Watch this outstanding film - a fully realized freeform exploration of the fate of Elvis as metaphor for the fate of the USA... : www.youtube.com... Is it available to stream thru the films to benefit FMU thing? Would make a great double bill with 'Rumble'!
	♥ 11:24am 12539: Stepping out early, but Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:25am tim from washington: I'm super digging the country Freedom Rock sounds this set.
	11:25am Kpx: Karlward: is that the one where Elvis is not only everywhere, but in everyone, except for Michael j fox.
	♥ 11:26am karlward: The evil, anti-Elvis. Yes.
	11:28am Brendan: @Joe , A set of trucker music would be cool
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Brendan: Sure, I can do that one day.
	11:30am Brendan: This song has that Melissa chord progression in the chorus
	♥ 11:30am Little Da nny: Digging this!
	♥ 11:31am Tim in the Projectorium: Great sounds this morning Joe, thank you.
	♥ 11:32am Little Danny: Totally Brendan @11:30
	11:33am SmokinJ: Lovely jm! 8-)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Glad you guys are digging the early '70s country rock sounds. It's where I'm living right now.
	11:33am Kpx: When I heard that flute, I was thinking they were taking a page from the Marshall Tucker band.
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: Do you know Barefoot Jerry or Area Code 615, Joe?
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Krys O.: Oh sure, I think I've played both on this program. I have albums by both.
	♥ 11:34am Krys O.: Gary & Randy Scruggs put out some albums you might like too.
	♥ 11:35am Brian in UK: Krys O. did you get to listen to Gina's show? wfmu.org...
	11:35am PJ: Calling your soft rock band “Country”, what a brilliant move. I hope there’s a soft rock band out there called “Metal”.
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: @Krys O: Yeah, I love those! I have the first two. I'm not sure if there are others.
	♥ 11:36am McGroovey: Beverley Glen: Sad. I'm crying. Not really.
	♥ 11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Scott "Rock Action" Asheton (August 16, 1949 – March 15, 2014), American musician, best known as drummer for legendary rock band The Stooges. ' ...Failed his audition for Poco, reportedly...
	♥ 11:37am Krys O.: The Earl Scruggs Revue is neat: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Well I liked Dan Fogelberg's early albums.
	11:38am Joe B: Fogelberg did have a garage band in 1967 called The Coachmen
	♥ 11:38am Krys O.: I was a big John Denver fan when I was about 6 or 7 years old.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Krys O: Yeah, a lot of Gary and Randy input in the old man's group.
	♥ 11:39am tim from washington: Thanks for the Scott Asheton reporting RRN. Between the Stooges and Sonics Rendezvous Band, he's played on many of my all time favorite records.
	♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: I was humming Leavin' On A Jet Plane the other day. It released about the same time as this. Joe B Not that early!!!
	♥ 11:40am chresti: Beverly Glen runs from Mullholland Drive to W. Hollywood/Beverly Hills, I used to take it from the Valley
	♥ 11:40am tim from washington: @Joe - Is is time to poke the beehive and play "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy?
	♥ 11:41am David (in London): stands to salute Scott Asheton
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Joe. Great entertainment as ever. Have a good week everyone.
	11:42am Joe B: @Tim - MMM was in the lewis & clark expedition! (the band, not the explorers)
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aw what's not to love about JohnDenver.
	♥ 11:43am tim from washington: @Joe B - I don't know the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I'm intrigued!
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: Probably should have saved this one for a future Story Corner.
	♥ 11:43am tim from washington: Is 'Dylan' the album that's universally panned? This sounds pretty good to me.
	♥ 11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' The eminent Bill Evans – born on this day (August 16, 1929 – September 15, 1980). '
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Aw, love Bill Evans. Should've done a tribute to him! Oh well.
	11:44am paul: He tried to make a bad album and failed.
	♥ 11:45am Little Danny: A++++ vibes today Joe.
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BobMartin triggering Prine receptors. Who is this guy? What else he got...
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Tim for Jimmy Buffett. Where's everyone gone.
	♥ 11:48am Joe McG: Glad you could drop by, Little Danny. Hope I can get my head back on the right track!
	11:49am Choggie: Some B.W. Stevenson would fit neatly in this awesome set
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @Choggie: Oh, he would indeed, but I'm nearly out of time!
	11:52am Choggie: Ya did good
	11:52am formerly known as the soundguy at the Court Taver: This entire Alvin/Mylon record is a gem
	11:53am Brendan: Beautiful soundtrack today to a dreamy morning Joe. I don’t know , I guess it’s mid August and it feels like the season is about to change. Songs about love gained love lost, the open road and the open mind , all good . As every week, you do a wonderful thing. Thanks.

	9:20am YETI BOB: Gruß Guido!
	♥ 9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Guido Hullo.
	♥ 9:21am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Guido, long time, no see.
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: Hey everybody, welcome to the show!
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: And lo! It is SWAGVENT at the Haversackerai!
	9:27am djsheilab: So dreamy!
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: I think I'm still sleeping, Sheila B! :)
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: Best part: JA in the AM shot glass wrapped up inside the new Sophisticated Boom Boom T-shirt!
	♥ 9:31am listener Rey: Hiya Joe and listeners. I'm liking the way you're easing us into the morning with all this Ghost Box material
	♥ 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Orange juice shots for breakfast, Handy?
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: It'll look a little silly in the Marty koozie, Ken, but that's no reason not to!
	9:34am YETI BOB: This is not really helping me get up-and-atem.
	♥ 9:38am Mark Hurst: Great opening set, Joe! Hi, all.
	9:40am Mike W.: Very swandy, Haggy!
	♥ 9:43am LastVisibleDog: Great introduction to this label...I'd never heard of them.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Threemoons: This is such an amazing and poignant song. I still get mail from my place's prior tenant, but at least she lives in the building. BUT...once in a blue moon I get mail for a lady who lived at my place at least 3 tenancies ago.....kind of spooky.
	♥ 9:50am The Oscar: Mornin'! My partner and I are about to pass the 11-year mark at our current apartment, and we STILL get junk mail for the previous tenant!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Threemoons: At my address, I still get mail for two tenants ago.
	♥ 9:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Mail getting sent to a departed tenant is arguably a better premise than an ex signing you up for unwanted magazines and tourism brochures.
	9:51am HyperDose: Oh yeah, this is rockin'!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am Threemoons: @Joe McG wow...
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Threemoons: A friend of mine inherited the loft he grew up in on Greene Street and he has never moved out-it has been his address since birth. His Dad passed in the early 90's and he STILL gets jury duty summons addressed to his late father as well as morbid stuff like...funeral home and cemetery ads addressed to his late Dad. He's been keeping a photo log of the snarky replies that he's been writing on the envelopes along with the Return to Sender general stamp....
	9:54am Kpx: Helloey Joey McGaskoey
	♥ 9:56am Phillippe: we've been getting the occasional threatening-looking envelope from medical billing departments for the prior owner who died a year and a half ago at the nursing home.
	9:57am βrian: Send them a check for $0.39. That oughtta get 'em going.
	♥ 10:00am chresti: Morning Joe and up and at 'em people!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Jim the Poet: I am having the weirdest dream
	♥ 10:05am Peter from Dover NJ: The state manages to my street address from 36 years ago to my current address. Still get my income tax refund tho.
	♥ 10:07am LastVisibleDog: Wow this track sounds SOOO much like Pin Group's Coat
	10:08am waters7: this set was a perfect build up for Linda!
	♥ 10:09am chresti: Phillippe, we keep getting mail for Franco's aunt who's been gone since 2000 something.
	10:09am dano59: Oh man i love Linda Smith; so great to hear her here. Instantly recognizable.
	10:12am Rod Serling: I received mail for the previous occupant at my place. I wrote “return to sender“ on it.Turns out the sender moved, and the previous occupant here is now the new occupant there. So they got their letter.
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, all!
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe: @chresti if I knew where the woman was buried, I'd forward the mail to the cemetery
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: Damn, missed the Ghost Box blowout.
	♥ 10:13am Phillippe: Hey Little Danny! Thanks for the sod-unrolling tunes yesterday!
	10:14am βrian: "Les mouettes ne sont pas muettes."
	10:14am Kpx: I hear a smashing pumpkins 1979 riff in that last song.
	10:16am paul: I hear Gary Numan's Cars in this one.
	♥ 10:17am Alvy Singer: When I lived on E.58th Street my phone number on the land line used to belong to Brooke Shields. Her Uncle would call us from Miami and leave a lengthy detailed voice mail message about his upcoming day or previous evening. Actor Kevin Nealon would also phone the number too.
	♥ 10:18am Little Danny: Hey you're welcome Phillippe, everything line up neatly?
	10:19am cobradan: Joe is killing it this morning
	♥ 10:22am Phillippe: As much as possible, LD. Filling in a curving path so there's a little gap here and there but nature's going to take care of that for me. At least that's what I'm telling my bride.
	10:22am Pomvanroy: Always good to hear Welsh on WFMU
	♥ 10:27am karlward: I am that detuned bass
	♥ 10:27am karlward: We formed like Voltron and I just happened to be the detuned bass
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Jim the Poet: I like the Spud Cannon
	10:30am paul: Drink some water, Joe
	♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Can someone drop off a glass of water for the DJ? One good turn deserves another!
	♥ 10:32am karlward: Marion?
	♥ 10:32am Joe McG: @paul/Ken: Yeah, sorry, I had some before the mic break, but it didn't help!
	10:32am Mike W.: good Field music
	♥ 10:33am melinda: I have happy memories of listening to the Peter, Paul & Mary version on this on 8-track in my grandmother's car.
	10:33am paul: Joe, put a little bourbon in it.
	10:34am E: My favorite Pooh Sticks song!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @paul: Great idea, I could use it today.
	10:34am Mike W.: I have this 45 (not in the Field with me though)
	10:35am paul: @Joe, LOL!
	♥ 10:35am G: College Rock, they called this genre lol. Before the term "alternative" came into use. Early Magnetic fields is similarish.
	10:36am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! Digging this morning’s sounds thus far. And yet being teased with “my neighbours are weird” with no follow through is leaving me feeling cheated ;)
	♥ 10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Alternative' - the perfect label to Ghettoize & compartmentalize... Otoh- was it more charming & Our Own when it was more Underground as College Rawk... Buddy Holly Lives.
	♥ 10:37am Little Da nny: Bad neighbors are hell on us introverts.
	♥ 10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when I saw the term 'Adult Alternative' ...then I knew...
	♥ 10:38am ChrisB.: Is this a B side of Eric's?
	10:38am Brendan: Wreckless Eric should get together with Delicate Steve
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @ChrisB: No, it's the A.
	10:39am E: College Rock is not necessarily the go-to for more of the indie pop stuff like Magnetic Fields. College Rock sound is more in the R.E.M. territory
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have ended up in court as the rest of a pent-up reaction to prolonged neighbor's noise @ night. I call MagFieds 'SmartPop' - descendants of RayDaviesas I see it - as PowerPop was a term coined by Townshend...
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: as *result of ...so traumatized I can never type efficiently again...
	♥ 10:44am Krys O.: Good ole Mike Batt.
	♥ 10:44am melinda: @Andres I wanted to hear more too
	10:44am Mike Sin: Enjoyed your show on the ride to the beach today. Now digging single file right on the beach!
	10:44am paul: This song was released the year I was born. It's an oldie!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Enjoy your beach day, Mike!
	♥ 10:48am Stanley: Joe - you got it?
	♥ 10:48am Krys O.: YESSSSSS! Love this Pigmeat song.
	♥ 10:49am Stanley: Here Comes the Judge - you got it!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Stanley: I had it!
	10:49am Brendan: This reminds me of Flip Wilson
	10:49am paul: From beautiful downtown Burbank. Cue Sammy Davis Jr.
	♥ 10:50am chresti: Rap/hip hop!
	♥ 10:51am tim from washington: Hey Joe! Pigmeat!
	10:51am paul: Here come da judge.
	10:52am Brendan: Honey I’ve been thinking of baby names. Let’s call our kid Pigmeat.
	♥ 10:53am David (in London): Pigmeat Markham to Nik Kershaw is a quantum transition that might destabilise the space-time continuum, Joe. Please reverse the polarities!
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @David: Ha ha ha @Brendan: Great idea!
	10:54am Kpx: Little Danny @ 10:37- that's a big affirmative!
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: Pigmeat was HUGE! He popularized the truckin' dance, had a big hit with Open the Door, Richard.
	10:57am Stashu on the app: Joe is a gem
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: Stashu is a jewel
	10:58am Kpx: Brendan: you mean like ham steak, bacon, and pork chop.
	♥ 10:58am Krys O.: Golly! We all knew every word of this Paper Lace song back when we were kids.
	10:58am ratso: Glory Be!
	10:58am Brendan: Oh man…
	♥ 10:59am G: This Paper Lace was huge in the UK when I was living there in 73.
	♥ 10:59am david_r: The Night Chicago Died was #1 this week in 1974 (we get American Top 40 reruns on Sundays here).
	♥ 10:59am Stanley: This record is borderline...
	11:00am Rick A: Hi Joe and All, This was the first single I ever owned. My dad brought it home even though I had never heard it before. I wore it out, subsequently.
	♥ 11:00am David (in London): Stanley don't be a hero...
	♥ 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Knew it was A.M. Gold - but don't remember being super-saturated with it... Remember mostly from ads for K-Tels I think !.
	♥ 11:00am david_r: It's like a kids' record.
	♥ 11:01am Stanley: David - someone had to step up.
	♥ 11:01am Rich in Bay Ridge: The Night Chicago Died is not a great song, but it's a hell of a record (if that's possible)
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @david_r: Wow, thanks for letting me know.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Paper Lace had a singing drummer, if memory serves.
	11:02am Brendan: That was truly a quirky song
	11:02am DJ Guin: "Darn it McGasko! You're INSANE...but you might just be a genius." - from every biopic ever
	♥ 11:04am karlward: That'll learn him
	♥ 11:04am karlward: We had framed pictures of Elvis up in our home when I was a kid, like he was family
	11:04am paul: Elvis died on this day in 1977
	♥ 11:05am McGroovey: Hates? Gosh.
	♥ 11:05am tim from washington: What?!? Whoever doesn't like 'Kentucky Rain" doesn't have a heart.
	♥ 11:05am karlward: Come to think of it, I have a framed picture of Elvis up in my home now.
	11:05am Kpx: Mike Sin: which beach are you going to, I always wanted to visit Rockaway Beach myself.
	♥ 11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977 ...Changed the entire orientation between Spirit & Body for White People.
	♥ 11:06am tim from washington: Hootsy Owl
	♥ 11:06am david_r: Woodsy.
	♥ 11:06am JG: Long Live the King
	11:06am frenchee: Hooty
	♥ 11:07am suzyhotrod: I just spit out my coffee at the news of Ken not liking Elvis. But this reminds me, please confirm. You, Joe McG, have spoken you do not like Black Sabbath AND you don't like Moonstruck. True?
	♥ 11:07am brooklynbanzai: Give a hoot don't pollute
	11:07am de fenestrated: woodsy the owl
	11:07am Baltimoron: Woodsy the Owl
	11:07am OsloCoffee: One of my first jobs was being Woodsy the Owl
	♥ 11:07am tim from washington: That's right, Woodsy!
	11:08am wee: Woodsy Owl no 'the'
	11:08am DJ Guin: On the River or In the Woods Help Keep America Looking good!
	11:08am OsloCoffee: My mom worked for Keep America Beautiful
	11:08am DJ Guin: <<we f*cked up THAT one>>
	♥ 11:08am David (in London): Chris Spedding was actually one of the Wombles band when they played live. He figured that since he was wearing a costume, no-one would know it was him. Unfortunately, playing every night, with only one costume, made of 70s fabrics, I think it was pretty unpleasant by the end of it...
	11:08am Brendan: There was also the native American paddling his canoe along a polluted lake With a tear in his eye.
	♥ 11:08am Dirty Bird in Washington: That's the stuff!
	11:09am TVP: All I can think of when I think of talking cartoon owls is the Tootsie Roll Pop owl.
	11:09am Marc15: Hearing “The Night Chicago Died” brought back grammar school memories. My friends would sing that song in the cafeteria ad nauseam. We all knew the words by heart
	11:09am paul: Brendan, Iron Eyes Cody was actually of Italian descent.
	11:09am Ha?: Yes you never saw those 2 owls together
	11:09am Marc15: My friends and I **
	11:10am DJ Guin: this dude was not Native, but... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:10am tim from washington: Moonstruck is a good movie. Much like how I feel about Frank Sinatra, I like Cher as an actor much more than I like her music.
	♥ 11:10am Brian in UK: David (in London). I think that Mike Batt's mum made the costumes.
	♥ 11:10am david_r: Were were admonished: "Don't make the Indian cry."
	♥ 11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ✟ SAAABBBATH ✟ ...Creeepiest ever: Johnny Smoke the anti-smoking cowboy cigarette cartoon...
	11:11am Mookie: Moonstruck is Italian American propaganda
	11:11am paul: @tim from washington, I agree. Same with Streisand.
	♥ 11:11am tim from washington: Techtonic and Music For Mind Control meet at last!
	♥ 11:12am David (in London): Brian. I love mums being the merch production. Like Howard Jones' mother making all the replica jumpers.
	♥ 11:12am tim from washington: @paul - Yes! You're right. Barbara Streisand is great in Nuts.
	11:13am DJ Guin: "The Joni Mitchell song "Lakota", from the 1988 album, Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, features Cody's chanting. He made a cameo appearance in the 1990 film Spirit of '76."
	♥ 11:13am david_r: Barbra Streisand is kinda ridiculous as an actress in "What's Up, Doc?" but it fits the movie.
	11:14am paul: @Joe, still time to slip in one Elvis tune.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @paul: Maybe I will. Although I'd rather celebrate his birthday than his death day.
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes to B-Days over DeathDays.
	11:16am Brendan: Screaming hippies dammit
	♥ 11:17am tim from washington: Wow! This is some Bob Brainen rock right here. I hope Numero puts this on wax.
	11:17am paul: Good point Joe, but he has to share that with Bowie.
	♥ 11:18am Krys O.: I have Elvis Presley fridge magnets. My cat Harvey kept knocking the one of Elvis in swimming trunks. Had to move it out of reach.
	11:18am Kpx: Well I can tell you this, Dave the spazz absolutely loves elbow parsley.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @Kpx: So do I, although I hardly ever play him. He doesn't need me to!
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Joe, I wanted to send you a picture of SWAGVENT, but apparently my camera will no longer connect to the computer. I am, once again, defeated by forces I don't understand and can barely keep up with. But take it as thanks, and if I ever can, I'll send the pix along. In the meantime, I'll be building a panic room out of wood and cloth.
	♥ 11:21am karlward: My mom sent our kids some Elvis trading cards recently
	♥ 11:22am karlward: And long ago the kids memorized "Elvis is Everywhere" by Mojo Nixon
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: I think I have something by Elyse Weinberg that I bought after hearing it and loving it (maybe on this show). I filled it under W and forgot about it. Now I have to remember to look for it when I get home.
	♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Drive a ship?
	♥ 11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'America is great when it does great things'... Watch this outstanding film - a fully realized freeform exploration of the fate of Elvis as metaphor for the fate of the USA... : www.youtube.com... Is it available to stream thru the films to benefit FMU thing? Would make a great double bill with 'Rumble'!
	♥ 11:24am 12539: Stepping out early, but Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:25am tim from washington: I'm super digging the country Freedom Rock sounds this set.
	11:25am Kpx: Karlward: is that the one where Elvis is not only everywhere, but in everyone, except for Michael j fox.
	♥ 11:26am karlward: The evil, anti-Elvis. Yes.
	11:28am Brendan: @Joe , A set of trucker music would be cool
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Brendan: Sure, I can do that one day.
	11:30am Brendan: This song has that Melissa chord progression in the chorus
	♥ 11:30am Little Da nny: Digging this!
	♥ 11:31am Tim in the Projectorium: Great sounds this morning Joe, thank you.
	♥ 11:32am Little Danny: Totally Brendan @11:30
	11:33am SmokinJ: Lovely jm! 8-)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Glad you guys are digging the early '70s country rock sounds. It's where I'm living right now.
	11:33am Kpx: When I heard that flute, I was thinking they were taking a page from the Marshall Tucker band.
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: Do you know Barefoot Jerry or Area Code 615, Joe?
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Krys O.: Oh sure, I think I've played both on this program. I have albums by both.
	♥ 11:34am Krys O.: Gary & Randy Scruggs put out some albums you might like too.
	♥ 11:35am Brian in UK: Krys O. did you get to listen to Gina's show? wfmu.org...
