	9:04am G: morning, good!
	9:06am fred: Good morning Scott
	9:09am Dead Corporate Eyes: play those golden hits of yesteryear, Scott
	9:10am G: The Gateway Drug to Bryce :-)
	♥ 9:10am Scott: all hits all the time.
	9:10am bruceleh: @G LOL!
	9:13am Dead Corporate Eyes: sounds like ol' Damon's been up to some good things lately (for a change)
	9:15am Jesss: Good morning, Scott!
	♥ 9:17am Scott: Hey jess!
	9:22am hamburger: herro - woar - stan was playing this earlier - so coo
	9:32am Cecile: hola, all!
	9:37am Cecile: Song 2 was really kind of like a Fall song, which made me laugh because it was so big here. I like the 90s better in retrospect. In the middle of it, I lived on free jazz, GBV, Jobim and electronica tapes my online friend swapped with me.
	9:39am Cecile: last time I got my hair colored, they had this awful 90s mix - Spin Doctors, Matchbox 20, and, oh that band that started as a Replacements knockoff band and then did terrible ballads... The stylist, who was in her early 30s and I mocked it mercilessly. it was funny.
	9:40am Cecile: You know I think the Necks and Dead C are great beach music. The Necks the calm before the storm, and the Dead C the roiling water of the storm.
	♥ 9:41am Scott: What's the replacements knockoff band? Goo goo dolls????????????
	♥ 9:41am Scott: Gin Blossoms?
	9:42am Cecile: Goo goo dolls! I actually kind of like 3 songs of the Gin Blossoms. They played to their strengths. They weren't too ambitioous or irritating.
	9:42am bregelesque: Dang, McDowell. Yr killin' it this morning.
	♥ 9:43am Scott: gracias!
	9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning. Another fine show, as usual.
	9:44am Cecile: both of us really groaned when the goo goos came on. It had to be worse being in high school then, you couldn't escape it.
	9:44am pierre: Tuned in ! as usual ! Bonjour Scott McDowell.
	9:45am hamburger: 90s were werd - googoodolls / AND I DON'T WANT THIS WORLD TO SEE ME CAUSE I SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING...
	9:45am Cecile: Another Radiohead Bread song.
	9:45am breugelesque: I especially liked that Fuxa track. I'll have to go home today and dig out Green Field 12".
	♥ 9:45am Scott: I'm super impressed with the consistency of the Goo Goo Dolls. That is hard work man.
	9:45am PKNY: Great choice on the Radiohead...reminds me I need to up my Radiohead to get ready for the show in Newark next week.
	9:46am Cecile: hold out my hand something after that...
	9:46am Cecile: If I have to celebrate consistent mediocrity, I'd rather go eat a McMuffin.
	9:47am Jesss: IMDB says that "Live Forever" is a "hilarious" documentary. Is it hilarious?
	♥ 9:47am Scott: Haha. No.
	9:48am Cecile: David Gates really needs to do a record with Radiohead. Make him watch a whole lot of true crime shows and get depressed. It would be brilliant.
	9:48am Cecile: unintentionally hilarious?
	9:49am Cecile: YES.
	9:49am breugelesque: Are you planning to go to Heliotrope, Cecile?
	9:50am Cecile: Yes, probably. Saturday night. I sulked out of it last year and missed Joe McPhee...
	9:54am breugelesque: I'm very glad he came last year. Musical highlight of the year for sure.
	9:58am bruceleh: Missing Joe McPhee is always a loss.
	9:59am Cecile: I know. I've been a fan for nearly 30 years. I was not in a good place last year.
	10:01am bruceleh: OK, peeps, what's your favorite Joe McPhee album?
	10:01am Cecile: That sounds like a great show.
	10:03am Mister Gee does London Town in the Sun: All the details on the Nick Drake song - written by Robin Frederick: http://www.robinfrederick.com/smoking.html
	10:03am Cecile: I like Oleo, it was the first one I heard, he interprets Albert Ayler and it has the great Violets for Pia on it.
	10:04am bruceleh: Sweet Freedom, Now What?
	10:05am Cecile: Yes, that one is great.
	10:05am Mister Gee does London Town in the Sun: RF writes: I wrote "Been Smoking Too Long" in the last few weeks of 1966. I was living in Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France, playing around Aix and Marseilles in various clubs. The guitar/vocal demo (see link above) was recorded in early 1967 at a friend's flat. One evening, after a performance in Aix, a couple of young Englishmen introduced themselves. One of them was Nick Drake Nice..
	10:08am Cecile: She wrote a nice article about him in Mojo a while back, IIRC.
	♥ 10:08am Scott: Thanks Mister Gee, good stuff.
	♥ 10:09am Scott: Yup cecile, it's linked from that page.
	10:11am Cecile: She was also A&R director for Rhino. It's interesting to see how she stayed in the music business as a mover and shaker.
	10:16am Mister Gee does London Town in the Sun: Rhino - fond memories of that label...Cecile
	10:20am Mister Gee does London Town in the Sun: I grow up in Stratford upon Avon, same time Nick lived there....wish i'd met him, what i do know is i trod the same pavements as Nick, i feel for him all the time, got a great photo of him at small upright piano, at home, in dappled sun, with a roll up, writing a tune - he is suited but no shoes or socks......erm,
	10:20am Jesss: oh, wow. scott, this is so great.
	10:21am Dead Corporate Eyes: anytime anyone's played Nackt Insecten it's been pretty awesome, I agree. This is an FMU member's group, I believe.
	10:22am Chris from DC: His stuff always stands out. This is great.
	10:24am Sandy in Houston: Agree.
	10:28am Dead Corporate Eyes: how I'd rather be listening to this laying in the grass than in a cubicle...
	♥ 10:30am Scott: Yes, Nackt Insecten is Ruaraidh Sanachan who has engineered many great live sessions here at WFMU. He is also in Moon Unit and runs Sick Head Tapes.
	10:30am Cheri Pi: Ah it's our own BT's band.
	10:31am Dead Corporate Eyes: wait, what? BT is in this band?
	10:32am Mark in DC: Thought Dead Air was a Sonic Youth remix for a bit...
	10:35am Cecile: thanks, Scott.
	10:37am fred: Joe McPhee! Thanks Scott
	10:41am Cecile: awww Joe mcphee on my b-day. Oh, well.

	10:44am Cecile: Wait a week...I'm in no rush, DCE! :D
	10:54am Kat: thought that might have been the Ex for a minute there..
	♥ 10:55am Scott: Good call Kat
	11:03am john: this reminds me of Mal Waldron's Spanish Bitch
	♥ 11:04am Scott: Don't know that one!
	11:05am paula pc: @ Cecile -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! @ Scott McD -- what a wonderful show today...
	11:05am paula pc: @ Cecile -- whoops, I'm a week early I guess, sorry...
	11:06am Cecile: that's ok.
	11:13am john: what is this talk over music.. i can't place it, but i think it sounds like a four tet track?
	11:13am Nathan: Four Tet - Ribbons
	11:14am Cecile: Big friend of the Clash.
	11:17am Dead Corporate Eyes (the real one): OK, some d-hole is posting as me again. Play nice or go home.
	11:23am Dead Corporate Eyes: I am Spartacus!!
	11:25am Pete Shambler: Nothing says "summertime fun!" like a Codeine reunion.
	♥ 11:26am Scott: HA
	♥ 11:29am Scott: For some reason that's exactly what I want to do this summer.
	♥ 11:29am Scott: I consider myself cheerful.
	11:32am Mike East: Happy Birthday Cecile! Happy Friday, everyone else!

	11:36am Cecile: next Thursday, folks. Same day as the Joe McPhee show in NYC This song could also be called "desperate rebound sex."
	11:45am max: this mark fell song is crazy! through headphones its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:45am Marc in Liverpool: I need some new tshirts. All the wfmu ones I like are sold out in my size. :-/
