	♥ 9:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:09 Handy, maybe you can pick up some $$ teaching them how to drive in snow.
	♥ 9:13am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob Tankenstein @9:12 Surprisingly hard to find any records. There was only one at Record Fair that I could find, and it was showtunes. Checked three stores since, and bubkis!

	♥ 9:15am Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:13 I don't usually buy jazz records but I am surprised by how little of her singing I could find on spotify. She has such a beautiful voice but it seemed to be mostly instrumental tracks from what I remember.

	9:20am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:15 I recently did a flu / shingles 2-fer and that following 36 hours was rough Glad you and yours are feeling better.
	9:20am No Big Thing in Chicago: And good morning Joe and all!
	9:20am Fredericks: Two stars in five songs. Not bad, Joe.
	♥ 9:21am Brian in UK: New Mekons, huh.
	9:21am clarke: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:20 that shingles thing'll knock u out, twice - there are two rounds.
	♥ 9:23am Zip7: ↳ Philip @9:19 They do have a new album and will be touring US this summer. They're playing White Eagle Hall July 18. Got my tix!
	9:23am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ clarke @9:21 Yep! I was supposed to take #2 this coming weekend but I am just today over a COVID infection so will need to put it off a few weeks.
	9:24am clarke: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:23 be vigilant! no matter how much it affects ya, better than getting shingles! (i hear).
	♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Turned to Dust (Rolling On)" by "Bonnie Prince Bi... Perhaps I'm just a jaded, world-weary New Yorker, but I keep expecting someone to try to sell me a car.
	9:25am clarke: a New Yorker! good car.
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:20 I had about twenty-four hours of fever and fatigue. Not too bad, but I didn't accomplish ANYTHING on Sat. Unless naps count.
	♥ 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:24 Ater that really stupid Harrison Ford commercial last night, I definitely don't want to buy a new Jeep.
	♥ 9:26am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Little Cows Looking for Some Grass" by "David Ale... One of my favorite horror soundtracks ever!
	9:26am clarke: naps count!
	9:26am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ clarke @9:24 Definitely! My understanding is it is in fact The Worst.
	9:26am clarke: ↳ The Oscar @9:26 seems rather joyous?
	9:27am clarke: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:26 i don't want to find out!!
	♥ 9:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:25 That really was stupid. I don't even think that was his dog! It's the ringer, Dude.
	9:30am clarke: the ringer must not appear empty, dude.

	9:34am jimbrux: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:33 Good spot! Thanks!
	9:34am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. I must go fight ignorance and despair.
	♥ 9:34am The Oscar: ↳ clarke @9:26 It's extremely incongruous! A lot of it is gentle folk songs literally describing the action on screen, written and sung by the actor who plays the main killer!
	9:35am jimbrux: ↳ jimbrux @9:33 Also hi Joe and all listeners, wherever ye may be!
	9:35am clarke: ↳ The Oscar @9:34 man, was it really from '72? i don't think i have ever seen the whole flick..

	9:38am clarke: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @9:37 ir's definitely better than i remember..
	♥ 9:39am tim: ↳ Song: "Skyline" by "Andy Summers and Robert Fripp" Hi Joe and everyone! Thanks for playing this. Recently I realized that I have flown past Andy Sumner's records without consciouscly registering that Robert Fripp's name is on some of them - haha! I'm glad they are still plentiful and affordable. I'm enjoying this quite a bit.
	♥ 9:40am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ clarke @9:38 I remember liking “I Advanced Masked” much more than the followup.
	9:41am chresti: Morning Joe and yippers!
	9:41am clarke: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @9:40 ah, there's more than one album. maybe that explains.
	♥ 9:42am Son Of Pantz: Well, burn my bruschetta...it's Joe McG.
	9:43am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:42 hey, put that coffee down!

	♥ 9:46am Son Of Pantz: ↳ clarke @9:44 but this is tea
	♥ 9:46am tim: ↳ Song: "Do Things My Own Way" by "Sparks" New Sparks is sounding really good! Plus they called their records MAD! We need Alfred E Neumann now more than ever.
	♥ 9:47am JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Do Things My Own Way" by "Sparks" How did i not know about this?
	♥ 9:47am tadpoles: ↳ JeremyB @9:47 Video out already too.
	9:48am chresti: Brew-shetta
	♥ 9:48am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Song: "Lights on the Way" by "Rose City Band" I'm getting Touch of Grey and I need a ganja goo ball
	9:48am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:46 it takes brass balls.
	9:49am Jerry: We will get by, we will carry on
	♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @9:46 And a verschlichener pastrami sandwich!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:48 Ha ha, total "Touch of Grey" vibe!
	♥ 9:50am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Lights on the Way" by "Rose City Band" Shoulda snuck this record into my Bandcamp Friday spree! Fixing that now.
	♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: Somehow, more than 1/12 of all the music that's going to come out this year has already come out. What a thing.
	9:50am clarke: ↳ tim @9:46 it's a gas.
	9:51am Stanley: ↳ Song: "Lights on the Way" by "Rose City Band" That was a far cry from the sound of Wooden Shjips
	9:51am Blix: ↳ Joe McG @9:50 100%!
	9:52am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 i dunno about that - less release volume early in the year, typically.
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @9:52 Worldwide? I mean, maybe, I dunno. I'm just saying. Time keeps on slipping, slipping, etc.
	9:53am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 that is definitely truth!
	9:54am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 i think october is the highest volume of new release time.
	9:54am northguineahills: I only saw mtv when visiting my friends, or at my grandparents when i saw them twice a year.
	♥ 9:55am tadpoles: www.youtube.com...
	9:55am Mattynotimes: Sounded like the war on drugs cover of touch of Grey
	♥ 9:55am Handy Haversack: Yeah, I never had cable either. There was a show on TBS, which was local, called Night Tracks that had some of videos, not a big rotation. I remember it had "Owner of a Lonely Heart" a LOT, though.
	9:55am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 yeah, new orleans proper got cable probably LAST in the country.
	9:55am Mike in Montreal: ↳ tadpoles @9:55 ty
	9:57am Tinley Park Randy: In the early 80s there was a rock video show on after SNL and SCTV called Rock World. Buzzcocks, Clash, Cramps etc. videos. Real cutting edge stuff. Pre dates MTV. Look up on YouTube.

	♥ 9:58am Hughie Considine: Bernard Hermann
	♥ 9:58am Brian in UK: Bernard Herrmann?
	9:58am Noir Lover: hitchcock
	9:58am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Little Cows Looking for Some Grass" by "David Ale... Last House is kind of dumb, more goofy than scary. But the closing credits song is brilliant.
	9:59am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:58 hello bernard!
	♥ 9:59am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:49 Hahaha! Damn, you are the astutest of the astutes!
	♥ 10:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @9:59 We just keep on lighting the lights and following the formalities.
	10:01am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:00 call me bernie.
	10:02am Doug in Denver: The screeching violins on Psycho were played by Sol Babitz. Learn more about him I Lili Anolik’s books Hollywood’s Eve plus the new book Didion & Babitz. Sol was a movie studio orchestra member, a Baroque scholar, and friends with Stravinsky, Louis Armstrong. Etc.

	10:03am Triple G: Bernard Herrmann's last film score was Taxi Driver
	♥ 10:03am Gregosaurus: ↳ Tinley Park Randy @9:57 And on that same subject, I was overjoyed to see Night Flight is back as a streaming channel. Not all that expensive, either.

	10:03am Triple G: 🚨🚨 Single File happening now 🚨🚨 🚨🚨 This is not a drill 🚨🚨
	♥ 10:04am Gregosaurus: it's not 10:30 yet? I'm feeling faint...
	♥ 10:04am tadpoles: ↳ Tinley Park Randy @9:57 Growing up in eNZed we had a TV show called "Radio With Pictures"...pre dated MTV by 4 years. Seen by Mike Nesmith when he was on tour he raved about it....which supposedly led to MTV being formed.
	10:04am Mike in Montreal: So this is what time travel feels like
	10:04am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 what about pointed sticks?
	♥ 10:04am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:03 "I can't take the way he sings But I love to hear him talk"

	♥ 10:06am Artie: Tulipan is Spanish (and perhaps Portuguese) for for the tulip flower. I've also been told by a native of Mexico that what we call hibiscus is also called tulipan, FWIW.

	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: ↳ Gregosaurus @10:04 Ha ha ha

	10:08am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @10:07 the trolleys here set their time on Single File - you are throwing the city off!
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: ↳ Artie @10:06 Good info, Artie, thanks!
	♥ 10:10am Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Song: "I'd Have to Be Outta My Mind" by "Barry McGuire" Never heard of Barry. Gonna have to check him out. This is great.
	10:10am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:04 Joe singing 🤔 “I’d buy that for a dollar”
	10:10am clarke: ↳ Bob Tankenstein @10:10 you never heard Eve Of Destruction?? wow!
	♥ 10:11am tim: ↳ Song: "I'd Have to Be Outta My Mind" by "Barry McGuire" I wonder if Barry wrote Eve of Destruction when he decided to stay?
	10:11am clarke: ↳ tim @10:11 PF Sloan wrote that
	♥ 10:11am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @10:10 That was a pretty large hit! (Never a fave though)
	♥ 10:11am Gregosaurus: ↳ tim @10:11 His mood certainly hadn't improved.
	♥ 10:12am Artie: ↳ Joe McG @10:09 Sure thing. Looked up the Spanish translation for hibiscus and got hibisco, LOL. Don't believe everything you're told by a helpful stranger on the street, LOL.
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:11 barry was definitely the weakest artist on Dunhill - that said, i think it is my favorite label overall. one of.
	♥ 10:13am tim: ↳ clarke @10:11 I think you missed a joke there.
	♥ 10:13am tim: ↳ Gregosaurus @10:11 Hahaha!
	♥ 10:13am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @10:12 Pretty immortal roster!
	10:14am clarke: ↳ tim @10:13 a lil' bit.
	♥ 10:14am Bob Tankenstein: ↳ clarke @10:10 I don't know much
	10:15am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:13 yeah, maybe between that (if you include Dunwich, too, which i do) and Reprise are my two everything labels.
	10:15am Lixiviated Life: ↳ tadpoles @10:04 We had channel 68 and “The Uncle Floyd Show” No videos, but he had on bands like: RAMONES MISFITS SMITHEREENS SQUEEZE yes and BON JOVI

	10:17am clarke: roger!!
	10:18am clarke: roger??
	10:18am Ben from KC: Trying not to be bitter today, so I'll say to all the Eagles fans: make sure to enjoy this one! Watched the Mic'D Up, go to the parade, buy some championship merch, etc. Really try to squeeze all the juice you can from a SB win because you never know how long you'll have to wait for another!
	♥ 10:19am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @10:16 Yer definitely in touch with the label industry, that's for sure.
	10:19am Amsterdam Eric: ↳ Song: "Swimming at the Bottom of the Pool" by "Leroy Pul... The poor man's Roger Miller

	♥ 10:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:08 I still won't pay for TV! And yeah, I think we got a color TV in 1981ish? TVs lasted a while! We weren't going to get a new one till the old one broke. Hell, I only got a flatscreen about three years ago when my CRT finally gave up the ghost -- or, more accurately, when it developed a loud audio hum and all the TV repair shops around here had disappeared.
	10:20am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Pols / Rørospols" by "Norse Turdans Ensemble" dug this hardanger tune!
	10:20am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:19 also close third: White Whale
	10:21am Triple G: ↳ Song: "Workin'" by "Pepper Tree" Is there a portion there reminding anyone of "Foxy Lady"? Only so many chords though, I know
	♥ 10:21am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Workin'" by "Pepper Tree" RAWK!!
	♥ 10:21am Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Ben from KC @10:18 You need a deep breath and a count to 10
	10:21am clarke: i gotta have more.....
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all
	♥ 10:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Triple G @10:21 I heard it too!
	10:22am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 10:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:21 What up, prof.!
	10:23am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Gloria Gaynor" hadn't heard this version!
	10:23am northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:21 fuzzy burrito!
	♥ 10:23am tim: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Gloria Gaynor" Gloria's giving the Stranglers version are run for their money as my favorite version of Walk On By!

	♥ 10:25am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Gloria Gaynor" This is pretty gol-darned spiffy!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:23 monday morning. on campus getting ready for classes...
	10:25am clarke: you shouldn't take it so hard
	♥ 10:25am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:21 Hey prof! My cousin's son is in Howdy Arabia right now to audition for the Dallas Symphony. I offered him the fuZZZmobile. If you hear French Horn out in the driveway - that's why.
	10:25am Triple G: Keef!
	10:26am Christy D: Ooooo yeah!
	♥ 10:26am tim: ↳ Song: "Take It So Hard" by "Keith Richards" Hey! This sounds pretty good!
	10:26am clarke: ↳ tim @10:25 french horn is where it's AT!
	10:26am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Song: "Take It So Hard" by "Keith Richards" Best solo Stones ever
	♥ 10:26am chris_in_space: ↳ Song: "Take It So Hard" by "Keith Richards" Yes! I wished Keef would've toured this. Would LOVE to see the X-Pensiive Winos play some smaller venues.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:25 oh! that explains why my neighbor with the lawn care business who fires up his gear every morning called the cops on me for making loud noises!
	10:27am Lixiviated Life: “… you got a taste for it”
	10:27am clarke: ↳ chris_in_space @10:26 they did some shows - replacements opened some of them
	10:27am Amsterdam Eric: ↳ Song: "Take It So Hard" by "Keith Richards" Not a big fan of Keith Richards, but this song is a real banger. Lixivated Life is right: Best solo Stones ever. When it came out in 1988 could any of us have possibly concluded that he would still be alive nearly 40 years later?
	♥ 10:27am chris_in_space: Oh wait, Keef did tour it. I meant his latest record.
	♥ 10:27am tim: ↳ clarke @10:26 I dig it! I hope the Dallas SUmphony does too. Give that kid a job!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:26 those two keef solo albums, as well as the live one from this period were pretty damn good. better than most of what his other band put out at that time.
	10:28am Soloidus: "If Mick tours without me I'll slit his throat" - Keef, sometime in the 80s
	♥ 10:29am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:27 I'll tell my second cuz to put a mute in it. Sorry about that!
	10:29am Soloidus: Also this story of Keef, Trump, and a knife is priceless: https://people.com/politics/rolling-stones-keith-richards-trump-stabbed-table/
	10:29am clarke: ↳ tim @10:29 fuZZ's neigbor has asked for his seconds.
	♥ 10:30am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:28 Good to know! I remember paying it little mind when it came out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:29 remind me to tell you about the time my grandfather toured europe with a symphony. he was the piccolo player.
	♥ 10:30am Zip7: I remember sone crappy awards TV show many years ago. I think it was the "Elvis Awards." The Replacements (on their last legs) were on and Weeterberg rolled his eyes a lot. Keef closed the show and, while aware of what a shuck it was, nevertheless rocked the house.
	10:31am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Amsterdam Eric @10:27 “Better living through chemistry” as the old DuPont slogan goes.
	10:31am clarke: there's gonna be a duel with leaf-blowers in dallas! woot!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @10:31 leaf-blower vs french horn driveway match only one instrument of noise leaves alive
	♥ 10:32am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:30 I'm intirgued already! I hope it involved the piccolo as a deadly weapon used against Nazis!
	♥ 10:33am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Mexico" by "Cat's Ass" Only wish I could have heard Casey Kasem announce this band on America's Top 40.
	♥ 10:33am Karl: ↳ Song: "Mexico" by "Cat's Ass" Maybe a cat sat on all the records
	♥ 10:33am Artie: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:32 Don't we all need to work together to make the world a better place? -- Run the leaf-blower into the french horn, I say!!
	10:33am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:32 your driveway - duellists.

	♥ 10:34am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:34 I'm still intrigued!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am prof.fuzz: ↳ Artie @10:33 this is how civilizations advance through creative use of technology. you should pitch this on an episode of techtonic!
	♥ 10:35am Karl: ↳ tim @10:34 Here in New Jersey there are so many leaf blowers in the fall that it sounds like Tibetan chanting
	10:36am clarke: ↳ Karl @10:35 just make it someone else's problem.
	10:37am clarke: ↳ clarke @10:36 (the leaf-blower mentality).
	10:37am Toothgrinder Tom: That’s my dream, ditching my smartphone.
	10:38am johnk77: great work selecter sugar said his name MYnot
	10:38am Soloidus: Update on those Luddite kids Hurst interviewed a few weeks back: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/style/luddite-teens-reunion.html?searchResultPosition=5
	♥ 10:38am Karl: ↳ clarke @10:37 The lawn obsession in the Jersey suburbs is intense.
	10:39am clarke: ↳ Karl @10:38 they're just blowing it back on everyone else's. and, again. until it all clogs the gutters.
	10:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview with Michael Timmins, Part 1" lovely fellow!
	♥ 10:40am The Oscar: Back in my twenties I used to work odd gigs for a local production company that worked with the Cowboy Junkies-- I've worked load-in and security for Michael and friends many times!
	♥ 10:42am Karl: ↳ clarke @10:39 In the North Jersey suburbs the leaves are blown into huge piles on the street, and periodically vacuumed up or plowed and lifted into trucks. Cue hilarity when we get a big storm.
	10:43am clarke: and, just cranking up in my 'hood.... a leaf-blower!! on cue!
	♥ 10:43am Crownless Gander: I'm pretty sure I saw Cowboy Junkies at Sneaky Dee's back in 1988? Memory is hazy now...
	♥ 10:44am Gregosaurus: ↳ Karl @10:42 East Hill Englewood turns into an obstacle course every Fall, thanks to endless leaf piles in the street.
	10:45am clarke: wow, one mic!
	♥ 10:45am Crownless Gander: Whites Off Earth Now was prominently displayed in all local record stores, I recall.
	10:48am clarke: ↳ Song: "Me and the Devil" by "Cowboy Junkies" i saw them around this time - great show!
	♥ 10:52am tim: One aspect I royally hate about today's music industry is club bookers calling themselves "talent buyers".
	♥ 10:52am Crownless Gander: MuchMusic gave it a lot of coverage too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:52 agreed
	10:57am HyperDose: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:52 fond memories of Canadian summers with MuchMusic
	♥ 10:57am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:52 Even though it's just a self ascribed title I hate it because just the sound of the title implies a heirarchy in which the booker is superior and "talent" is an interchangeable commodity. Plus anyone I've met who calls themself a "talent buyer" is a total boner!

	11:00am clarke: good stuff, Joe! and michael!
	♥ 11:00am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Interview with Michael Timmins, Part 2" I've heard the same story from the SCTV & MST3K folks. They loved staying based in the boondocks (i.e. Minneapolis & Edmonton), so the TV execs would never visit!
	♥ 11:00am tim: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" I'm pretty sure this version was my gateway to country music.
	11:01am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" This song is beautiful.
	11:02am clarke: ↳ tim @11:00 i'm supposing, now, mine was Act Naturally.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am listener 126464: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" This album was a pretty big deal.
	♥ 11:03am Karl: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" The last verse is my favorite country lyric of all time
	11:03am eric from lake hiawatha: Bless you Joe, my head came out of my Laptop and I became enthralled in being lonesome
	11:05am Andres: Friends went to a show they played at the church where they recorded. 1990? Except for the warm applause it was silence from the audience conducting themselves like they were attending church.
	♥ 11:06am tim: ↳ clarke @11:02 For me, it was more of an inkling. It took a few more years to get there.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ tim @11:06 yeah, there was a time when i thought country was squaresville, but the beatles turned me around. namely ringo.
	11:07am Andres: Caution Horses was when I got hooked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:57 and often, the "talent buyer" fails to pay the talent
	11:09am clarke: ↳ tim @11:06 also, the all-night radio in nola was WWL - which broadcast trucker music all night.
	11:09am Andres: ↳ Song: "'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" I had their t-shirt with this on it. Wore it til it fell apart.

	11:10am eric from lake hiawatha: Whoa!!! What treats!
	♥ 11:10am Joey C says: ↳ Song: "'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" This sounds so sweet.
	♥ 11:10am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:09 Bah hahahaha! (the zinger, not the not paying)
	♥ 11:10am tim: ↳ clarke @11:09 That sounds like some good listening.
	11:11am clarke: you can't get tacos on talent. you need a buyer.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ tim @11:10 the funny thing was that station broadcast to like 40 states, so it probably went up to michigan!
	♥ 11:11am tim: ↳ toorushed @11:10 Was it Magic Bag or Royal Oak Theater? I remember seeing flyers for that at the time when I lived in GR>
	11:13am clarke: ↳ tim @11:11 wouldn't it be Magic Stick?? detroit right?
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:11 you can't get tacos with exposure either
	♥ 11:14am mariano: Oh, it's an interview, whew! Listening in the background, I thought at first someone in Cowboy Junkies had died. There's always that moment on FMU when you hear more than one song in a row from an artist and you worry that something bad happened.
	11:14am clarke: you can get tacos with love.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:14 i love tacos
	11:14am clarke: ↳ mariano @11:14 yeah, i know that fear!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:14 i know THAT fear, too! ; ]
	♥ 11:17am Erin in TO: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" ooooo I like this
	♥ 11:17am tim: ↳ clarke @11:13 Nope different venues. Magic Stick/Majestic Theater is in Detroit. Magic Bag is in Royal Oak.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ tim @11:17 ah, thanks!

	11:18am clarke: sub divisions
	♥ 11:18am dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" loving this music and this interview! thank you joe and michael
	♥ 11:19am Officer Pupp: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" Digging this a lot.
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @11:17 Hey, Erin! Was hoping you'd be here to vouch for pronunciations of "Toronto."
	♥ 11:20am Erin in TO: Cowboy Junkies is one of those bands that I always like them when I hear them, but I forget to dig into them. Thanks for the reminder Joe, I didn't realize they were still making music so recently
	♥ 11:21am Erin in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Depends on where you're from! If you're from Toronto, it's more like "Tor-awnna". If you're from away, like me, it's "Tor-on-toe"
	♥ 11:22am Erin in TO: Locals sometimes mock me for pronouncing the second T
	11:22am toorushed: I had the year wrong. Looked it up and it was April 1992 at Royal Oak Music Theater, in support of Black Eyed Man.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 Happy to provide the reminder! They're still out there and still making great music.
	♥ 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Erin in TO @11:22 Related: what do you call a soft drink in Toronto? Soda / pop / Coke / other?
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: BTW, a link to the website, sorry for the delay: cowboyjunkies.com
	♥ 11:24am Erin in TO: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:23 Everyone I know says "pop". We will call any Coke knock-off a Coke though
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Erin in TO @11:24 same in the south, ha ha: hence: orange coke.
	♥ 11:25am emilie s: Can I just say that I love the way Joe edited and is presenting this interview? I love the short snippets of interview interspersed with tracks. It's a really engaging way to listen.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ emilie s @11:25 agree!
	♥ 11:26am Erin in TO: ↳ clarke @11:25 hah we would never have an orange coke, only dark colas get that name
	11:26am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "The Way I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" rockin tune!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Erin in TO @11:26 the middle belts of bama and mississippi - orange coke.
	11:27am Philip: really digging this. Thx Joe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: ↳ emilie s @11:25 Nice of you to point that out! I know it can be difficult for people like me, who doesn't like to listen to a lot of talk, to sit through long patches of it!
	11:27am Savage in Brooklyn: ↳ clarke @11:18 I played Magic Stick with Death Vessel a handful of years ago. Wanted to explore as I'd never been to Detroit before, so I asked the bouncer which direction I should walk in to check out the area? He was like "If I was you, I'd go back inside and shoot some pool. You never know what's gonna jump out at you at night around here." He was the size of the Mr. Clean guy, so I took his advice. Probably much different now.
	♥ 11:28am tim: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 Hey Erin! Me too! I caught them early on but just didn't keep up. It's great hearing recent songs.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @11:27 i played there around that time, it was a bit scary.
	♥ 11:29am Erin in TO: ↳ tim @11:28 Gotta love Joe, and WFMU in general, for making sure we keep finding great music
	♥ 11:29am common: ↳ clarke @11:28 me too
	11:30am toorushed: This Townes reminiscing is awesome. Great interview Joe. “put on the Townes tape”—Yes!!
	♥ 11:30am tim: ↳ Erin in TO @11:29 Agreed!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 I feel much the same way.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Late to the party, Hi all!
	11:32am βrian: Cowboy Junkies have summoned me from the crypt.
	11:34am βrian: And surely you must remember your gig in Burlington, VT, in the late 80s!
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Lost My Drivin' Wheel" by "Cowboy Junkies" McGuinn cover from his first excellent album.
	♥ 11:39am mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:18 SUBDiVISIONS
	11:39am clarke: sub divisions
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: I loved "Speaking Confidentially," a relatively upbeat later single by the Cowboy Junkies that appeared on a CMJ mix CD from 1996.
	11:41am Andres: Haven’t seen them since a local fest years ago. If they are playing near you then get there! Really great live!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 i need to explore more.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 i (too) have a lot of those CMJ cd's hangin about (somewhere).

	♥ 11:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:42 I bought a lot of used compilations back in the day -- more bang for my buck, I thought, but now of course I wish I'd bought full releases.
	11:44am βrian: It's all east coast. What's up with that? Pah.

	♥ 10:45am Crownless Gander: Whites Off Earth Now was prominently displayed in all local record stores, I recall.
	10:48am clarke: ↳ Song: "Me and the Devil" by "Cowboy Junkies" i saw them around this time - great show!
	♥ 10:52am tim: One aspect I royally hate about today's music industry is club bookers calling themselves "talent buyers".
	♥ 10:52am Crownless Gander: MuchMusic gave it a lot of coverage too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:52 agreed
	10:57am HyperDose: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:52 fond memories of Canadian summers with MuchMusic
	♥ 10:57am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:52 Even though it's just a self ascribed title I hate it because just the sound of the title implies a heirarchy in which the booker is superior and "talent" is an interchangeable commodity. Plus anyone I've met who calls themself a "talent buyer" is a total boner!
	♥ 10:57am Joey C says: Hello Joe. Enjoying this interview I am.
	10:58am Philip: oh man. yeah. i remember this
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: ↳ Joey C says @10:57 I'm happy to bring it to you!
	11:00am clarke: good stuff, Joe! and michael!
	♥ 11:00am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Interview with Michael Timmins, Part 2" I've heard the same story from the SCTV & MST3K folks. They loved staying based in the boondocks (i.e. Minneapolis & Edmonton), so the TV execs would never visit!
	♥ 11:00am tim: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" I'm pretty sure this version was my gateway to country music.
	11:01am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" This song is beautiful.
	11:02am clarke: ↳ tim @11:00 i'm supposing, now, mine was Act Naturally.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am listener 126464: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" This album was a pretty big deal.
	♥ 11:03am Karl: ↳ Song: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by "Cowboy Junkies" The last verse is my favorite country lyric of all time
	11:03am eric from lake hiawatha: Bless you Joe, my head came out of my Laptop and I became enthralled in being lonesome
	11:05am Andres: Friends went to a show they played at the church where they recorded. 1990? Except for the warm applause it was silence from the audience conducting themselves like they were attending church.
	♥ 11:06am tim: ↳ clarke @11:02 For me, it was more of an inkling. It took a few more years to get there.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ tim @11:06 yeah, there was a time when i thought country was squaresville, but the beatles turned me around. namely ringo.
	11:07am Andres: Caution Horses was when I got hooked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @10:57 and often, the "talent buyer" fails to pay the talent
	11:09am clarke: ↳ tim @11:06 also, the all-night radio in nola was WWL - which broadcast trucker music all night.
	11:09am Andres: ↳ Song: "'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" I had their t-shirt with this on it. Wore it til it fell apart.
	11:10am toorushed: Saw em in Royal Oak, MI around ‘91. Lovely stuff.
	11:10am eric from lake hiawatha: Whoa!!! What treats!
	♥ 11:10am Joey C says: ↳ Song: "'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" This sounds so sweet.
	♥ 11:10am tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:09 Bah hahahaha! (the zinger, not the not paying)
	♥ 11:10am tim: ↳ clarke @11:09 That sounds like some good listening.
	11:11am clarke: you can't get tacos on talent. you need a buyer.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ tim @11:10 the funny thing was that station broadcast to like 40 states, so it probably went up to michigan!
	♥ 11:11am tim: ↳ toorushed @11:10 Was it Magic Bag or Royal Oak Theater? I remember seeing flyers for that at the time when I lived in GR>
	11:13am clarke: ↳ tim @11:11 wouldn't it be Magic Stick?? detroit right?
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:11 you can't get tacos with exposure either
	♥ 11:14am mariano: Oh, it's an interview, whew! Listening in the background, I thought at first someone in Cowboy Junkies had died. There's always that moment on FMU when you hear more than one song in a row from an artist and you worry that something bad happened.
	11:14am clarke: you can get tacos with love.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:14 i love tacos
	11:14am clarke: ↳ mariano @11:14 yeah, i know that fear!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:14 i know THAT fear, too! ; ]
	♥ 11:17am Erin in TO: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" ooooo I like this
	♥ 11:17am tim: ↳ clarke @11:13 Nope different venues. Magic Stick/Majestic Theater is in Detroit. Magic Bag is in Royal Oak.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ tim @11:17 ah, thanks!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @11:14 SUBDIVISIONS
	11:18am clarke: sub divisions
	♥ 11:18am dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" loving this music and this interview! thank you joe and michael
	♥ 11:19am Officer Pupp: ↳ Song: "What I Lost" by "Cowboy Junkies" Digging this a lot.
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @11:17 Hey, Erin! Was hoping you'd be here to vouch for pronunciations of "Toronto."
	♥ 11:20am Erin in TO: Cowboy Junkies is one of those bands that I always like them when I hear them, but I forget to dig into them. Thanks for the reminder Joe, I didn't realize they were still making music so recently
	♥ 11:21am Erin in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Depends on where you're from! If you're from Toronto, it's more like "Tor-awnna". If you're from away, like me, it's "Tor-on-toe"
	♥ 11:22am Erin in TO: Locals sometimes mock me for pronouncing the second T
	11:22am toorushed: I had the year wrong. Looked it up and it was April 1992 at Royal Oak Music Theater, in support of Black Eyed Man.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 Happy to provide the reminder! They're still out there and still making great music.
	♥ 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Erin in TO @11:22 Related: what do you call a soft drink in Toronto? Soda / pop / Coke / other?
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: BTW, a link to the website, sorry for the delay: cowboyjunkies.com
	♥ 11:24am Erin in TO: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:23 Everyone I know says "pop". We will call any Coke knock-off a Coke though
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Erin in TO @11:24 same in the south, ha ha: hence: orange coke.
	♥ 11:25am emilie s: Can I just say that I love the way Joe edited and is presenting this interview? I love the short snippets of interview interspersed with tracks. It's a really engaging way to listen.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ emilie s @11:25 agree!
	♥ 11:26am Erin in TO: ↳ clarke @11:25 hah we would never have an orange coke, only dark colas get that name
	11:26am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "The Way I Feel" by "Cowboy Junkies" rockin tune!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Erin in TO @11:26 the middle belts of bama and mississippi - orange coke.
	11:27am Philip: really digging this. Thx Joe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: ↳ emilie s @11:25 Nice of you to point that out! I know it can be difficult for people like me, who doesn't like to listen to a lot of talk, to sit through long patches of it!
	11:27am Savage in Brooklyn: ↳ clarke @11:18 I played Magic Stick with Death Vessel a handful of years ago. Wanted to explore as I'd never been to Detroit before, so I asked the bouncer which direction I should walk in to check out the area? He was like "If I was you, I'd go back inside and shoot some pool. You never know what's gonna jump out at you at night around here." He was the size of the Mr. Clean guy, so I took his advice. Probably much different now.
	♥ 11:28am tim: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 Hey Erin! Me too! I caught them early on but just didn't keep up. It's great hearing recent songs.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @11:27 i played there around that time, it was a bit scary.
	♥ 11:29am Erin in TO: ↳ tim @11:28 Gotta love Joe, and WFMU in general, for making sure we keep finding great music
	♥ 11:29am common: ↳ clarke @11:28 me too
	11:30am toorushed: This Townes reminiscing is awesome. Great interview Joe. “put on the Townes tape”—Yes!!
	♥ 11:30am tim: ↳ Erin in TO @11:29 Agreed!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @11:20 I feel much the same way.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Late to the party, Hi all!
	11:32am βrian: Cowboy Junkies have summoned me from the crypt.
	11:34am βrian: And surely you must remember your gig in Burlington, VT, in the late 80s!
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Lost My Drivin' Wheel" by "Cowboy Junkies" McGuinn cover from his first excellent album.
	♥ 11:39am mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:18 SUBDiVISIONS

	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: I loved "Speaking Confidentially," a relatively upbeat later single by the Cowboy Junkies that appeared on a CMJ mix CD from 1996.
	11:41am Andres: Haven’t seen them since a local fest years ago. If they are playing near you then get there! Really great live!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 i need to explore more.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 i (too) have a lot of those CMJ cd's hangin about (somewhere).
	♥ 11:42am tim: ↳ Song: "Lost My Drivin' Wheel" by "Cowboy Junkies" This is a great song.

	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:41 It's a good 'n! The world's your oyster.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 and yer the pearl!
	♥ 11:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:42 I bought a lot of used compilations back in the day -- more bang for my buck, I thought, but now of course I wish I'd bought full releases.
	11:44am βrian: It's all east coast. What's up with that? Pah.
