♥ 12:05pm tim from champaign:

Hey! Ho! Let's Joe!

12:07pm Cheri Pi:

good one Tim!

12:08pm KP:

Alternate side of the street Belock!

♥ 12:09pm tim from champaign:

Thanks, CP.

Are the Bell Rays still active? They are high up on "Bands to See" list.

12:10pm Joe B:

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in!

not one but TWO bands today! The great Moto-gators at 1 pm, the return of The Bamboo Kids at 2 pm!

12:10pm SmokinJ:

Hey Joe & all!

12:11pm Joe B:

yes Tim, good one!

dunno about the Bell Rays.

12:14pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Ain't nothin' like noontime Belock!!

12:14pm Cheri Pi:

i love the early Donnas so much.

12:15pm Joe B:

I'm so old I remember when this was considered later Donnas!

♥ 12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Catchier than I know Donnas for. Maybe I like more than thot...

12:16pm Cheri Pi:

Smokin' Chiba is one of my top fave songs

12:16pm Parq:

I'm unable to pay full attention just now, so excuse me for having to ask, but did the Donnas just rhyme "sorta" with "aorta"? Sublime.

♥ 12:20pm Mike East:

great start, Joe! That Allah Las song is gonna be in my head the rest of the day

♥ 12:21pm tim from champaign:

Joe, do you have plans for Record Store Day? Anyone else?

♥ 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

12-Hour PowerPop Throwdown :
efd vs. TerreT vs. Mike Sin vs. Joe B
- special foot&1/2 long Marvel Comix Edition...

♥ 12:23pm Mike East:

@tim from champaign - I hear the place to be is Generation Records...my buddy is running sound there. I, unfortunately, have my wife's family visiting from Queens.

12:25pm john:

stream is acting funny out on the west coast!

12:26pm MissV:

Hello JoeRockhead!

♥ 12:27pm Mike East:

restart it, john.

♥ 12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

[ - stream same in New Hampshire - dropped out only very briefly just coupla times starting Troub's show? No biggie so far.]

12:30pm eddy in australia:

@tim from champaign: The Bellrays are indeed still active and touring here (Australia) soon.

12:30pm David Shortell:

I remember, when the Bell Rays played Asbury Lanes years ago, how pissed the singer was at the blase audience, most of whom were there just to see Hunchback open up.

12:30pm Joe B:

thanks Eddy!

♥ 12:31pm tim from champaign:

Dang, that's too bad Mike. I'm helping out at the local rekkid store where I work on occasion. Despite the crass consumerism of the event, it really helps my friend's store out.

Good news, Eddy. Thanks!

12:33pm Cheri Pi:

ah man, Los Vig played in Cincy and they ruled.

12:39pm Cheri Pi:

I like the cut of the Sirens' jib here.

12:40pm Parq:

(had to wait for a work friend to leave the office so I could air-guitar to the Sirens in peace)

12:43pm Cheri Pi:

I hear dat Parq, I have carpel tunnel syndrome from all of the airguitarring I do in ye olde cubicle.

12:49pm Parq:

Take care of that wrist, Pi, your kittie needs it for getting skritches. Adorable avatar pic, b/t/w.

♥ 12:56pm efd:

Album of the year candidate right here.

12:57pm Cheri Pi:

Yeah, I have to wear those consarned braces at night...

♥ 12:57pm Mike East:

totally agree, efd

12:59pm Mike Sin:

OK! Headphones on! Mikes are set! I'm ready to roll with Moto-Gators as soon as I take one last shot of the Knot! Go Joe!

1:01pm SmokinJ:

NOW we Rock! Hey Mike S.

1:06pm Joe B:

Wish I brought The Knot with me! amazing job as always Mike!

♥ 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Sounds Bitchin'

1:12pm Nutley Sam:

Is everybody singing?

1:13pm Joe B:

record store day - haven't kept up with the events, gonna get a few things but mainly stuff from Sundazed that they will sell on their website Monday morning. mainly the Sir Doug spanish double 7-inch, the Tommy Keene reissue 7-inch on 12XU. Maybe the Big Star movie soundtrack.

any bands or anything happening in NYC/NJ?

1:13pm Joe B:

i am!

1:14pm Parq:

@ Pi: Mrs Parq and I have both been there. We've found massage therapy tremendously helpful.

1:14pm Parq:

[apologies for the rest of you, including Joe, for this long aside between Pi and me]

1:15pm Parq:

"Little Sister" -- one of my favorite Elvis numbers.

1:15pm Joe B:

Parq, no sweat!

♥ 1:17pm Mike East:

Generation has Doug Gillard, Swearin, Livids, and Forgetters. WFMU's own Tom Scharpling will be dj'ing as well, I believe.

♥ 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Rawk'n'RollKiggySkritchez!

♥ 1:18pm Mike East:

~twang~

1:19pm Joe B:

thanks Mike. saw the Nightbirds at Generation last year, great time!

1:19pm glenn:

had lunch yet, mike? www.blogto.com...

♥ 1:26pm Mike East:

@glenn - I did, but there's always room for fermented shark

1:27pm glenn:

or ram's testicles soured in whey.

♥ 1:34pm Mike East:

who was the genius who figured: this shark seems to be poison...but maybe if I bury it in the ground and let it rot, we can eat it!

♥ 1:36pm Mike East:

...and who was the sucker who tried it first

1:37pm glenn:

who am i i to question icelandic genius?

1:38pm Parq:

"Ram's Testicles Soured in Whey" would make a lousy name for a band, although on reflection, no worse than "Scraping Foetus Off the Wall".

1:42pm glenn:

in icelandic it's hrútspungar. that might be better.

♥ 1:51pm Mike East:

I still have a drink ticket in my wallet from Otto's from about 5 years ago. I wonder if its expired...

♥ 2:11pm Mike East:

thoroughly enjoying the show today, Joe B.

2:11pm Joe B:

Thanks Mike! I am too!

♥ 2:16pm Mike Sin:

Bamboo Kids sound cool! Kudos to Ernie for some fine engineering.

2:18pm glenn:

this reminds me of once bitten, twice shy.

2:19pm Rubble:

Ernie is god.

2:19pm glenn:

not that that's a bad thing.

2:20pm Joe B:

Glenn, I was just thinking the same thing!

♥ 2:27pm Mike East:

hey, I remember this song from the Three Chord Monte program! what a hit!

2:28pm Joe B:

it is a great one!

2:29pm Joe B:

as someone in the studio remarked, how are these guys not more popular!

♥ 2:30pm Mike East:

I wonder that about a lot of bands I hear on this station. I think the answer is that very few people have good taste in this world.

2:36pm Joe B:

Just been informed by a Drug Front label exec that the Safe City Blues LP will be released may 14! and the download card in the LP gives you NINE bonus tracks!

2:41pm jljl:

wow, my stream just shit the bed on both itunes and real audio. oops, now it's back to normal. weird.

♥ 2:43pm Mike East:

yeah, I'm dead over here, too, jljl

♥ 2:44pm Mike East:

ok, back alive now...

2:44pm glenn:

hmmmm. i'd say that a guy who isn't willing to try fermented shark shouldn't be saying anything about other's lack of taste. :)

2:46pm I X Key!:

! holy shit i just finished reading "Back from Brooklyn" by Kate Mohanty, & then there was "Back to Brooklyn" by The Bamboo Kids live on WFMU! & then my iTunes stream stopped working, & then it started again!

♥ 2:47pm Mike East:

who said I wasn't willing to try it? I'm game

2:50pm glenn:

i'll eat a lot of things, but i think i have to draw the line somewhere.

♥ 2:52pm Mike East:

...I say this without smelling it...that has the potential to turn me off.

2:54pm I X Key!:

I'm figuring out a recipe with fresh mint & sliced banana & torn basil

2:55pm Parq:

Wanted: the Donnas and the Husbands on a double bill.

2:57pm Parq:

Ahh, new Dengue, eh?
