Listener comments!
	♥ 9:02am 12539: Heigh ho!
	♥ 9:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - home in the daytime....
	9:03am Dave B: lets go!
	♥ 9:07am Matt from Springfield: Happy Independence Day, Joe and everyone! And why not have a little bit of Brazil!
	♥ 9:08am Matt from Springfield: Likewise, home in the daytime! First time I ever heard a transition out of JM in AM - wonderful to have the Martians come in right after that!
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: Hi, folks! Nothing like celebrating the Fourth of July with some music from Bahia, I always say!
	♥ 9:15am Matt from Springfield: Bahia! Good beaches and bright colors! Nice July imagery.
	9:15am KP: Hola, Joe.
	9:16am KP: Sorry I'm late. Just back from Wimbledon.
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: Boys, we may have a quiet morning together. Many will have celebrated last evening the birth of our great nation very greatly.
	♥ 9:21am Matt from Springfield: So Meghan said...JC in a hazey walk of shame...on a Thursday morning!
	♥ 9:23am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha! How are spending your 4th in Springfield today?
	♥ 9:26am Matt from Springfield: Quietly at home, then an outdoor ribs BBQ at the parents!
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: It's so hot and damp here that the cow could probably cook itself.
	♥ 9:29am Matt from Springfield: Pretty humid here, despite not being hot the last couple of days (due to rains) it still feels steamy.
	♥ 9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - up heah in NewHampshuh - @ 9:30 in the mornin' it's already upper 70sF - humidity 79% - dewpoint 72F ...yesterday I kept thinkin' I needed to open the windows - when they been open for weeks...
	♥ 9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Brazilian stuff just doesn't quit ! ...Amongst us AstrologyEnthusiasts - this is discussed much: Some do think it was the 2nd (signing of Declaration I guess) - & only announced on the 4th.
	♥ 9:39am Matt from Springfield: Opening windows doesn't help if that's what's outside! If you think about it, the Dec was probably finished (or "born") on the 2nd--first signed on the 4th. Though many of the Congress apparently didn't sign it for another month.
	♥ 9:42am Matt from Springfield: Very familiar! So deja vu familiar that it sounds like I've heard both the Brazilian and Pipe Dream ones somewhere before.
	9:42am Meghan.: Awww, a Surface Noise shout out! Thanks Joe! Happy 4th to you!
	♥ 9:43am Brian in UK: Quick hello Joe. Alternate take, 'The Last Day of June 1934' by Al Stewart. Came from an album with a song for every decade of the twentieth century. Past, Present & Future.
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: Happy 4th to you, Meghan! Great job, as always! Hey, Brian!
	♥ 9:45am Matt from Springfield: PP&F, great album! Hey Brian! Aha! "The Declaration was ultimately a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The national birthday, the Independence Day is celebrated on July 4, although Adams wanted July 2."
	♥ 9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - nevermind when we AstrolHeads start asking for a Time of Day; what Moment exactly is a Nation 'born'?? - a sidenote is that those nutty Freemasonish FoundingDudes were possibly thinking of a Chart themselves (Ben & his Almanac ferinstance) - altho' the conclusion of many of the AstrolEnthusiasts is that this is a BirthChart of a people trying to win a Revolt against MadKingGeorge - but we are good & stuck w/it now!...
	9:47am Jeezy: That Michael F. was pretty damn great sounding, for a demo in particular.
	9:47am Jeezy: Wish my "demos" sounded that good.
	♥ 9:49am Matt from Springfield: So really, the action to declare independence WAS the 2nd, and this text explaining why was ratified on the 4th. And in fact most signed from July 19 to August 2, with one straggler (Matthew Thornton) not signing until Nov 4!
	♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Voted on 2nd. Thx Matt.
	♥ 9:51am Matt from Springfield: No prob, RRN63! And yes, whatever that moment is, we're "good & stuck w/it now!", for better and worse! Wow--new Ruthann Friedman comp??! Must acquire! And this "Homemade Records" one too? This is a great duo, was this really a homemade or non-signed group?
	♥ 9:52am Matt from Springfield: Madame Sarko.
	♥ 9:59am Brian in UK: Monsieur Bruni?
	♥ 10:03am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: That would be more appro now! ;)
	10:06am pierre: I hate both Monsieur and Madame.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @Matt: Yes, those two were definitely unsigned!
	♥ 10:12am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Sweet--sounds like another comp I need to get! Bonjour pierre, our everyday Frenchman!
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @Matt: It's pretty great and the book that is sold separately is stunning.
	10:15am KevinfromBayRidge: Happy 4th to all occupants of McGaskoland. Hey Swagmeister!- Got my box of joy on Saturday. You'se got one happy camper heah!
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Hey, Kevin! Great news! Hope your WFMU cheese sticker made it OK!
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: OoooooooooooooooooooooooBuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
	♥ 10:16am Matt from Springfield: Merry Swagmas, Kevin!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone who is waiting oh-so-patiently for their swag. Soon we'll do another BIG round and get most of the the rest of you.
	♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 'BrainWar' makes me think of 'Freedom of Choice' by Devo...
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: This is for all the pregnant ladies in the house.
	10:22am KevinfromBayRidge: @Matt Like Crazy Eddie used to say-"Swagmas in July!" @ Joe Made it just fine. I think I'll plant it right on my forehead!
	♥ 10:24am Matt from Springfield: Rip Rig & Panic! A strange and enjoyable non-pop outfit! They performed on an episode of "The Young Ones" at the time.
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Kevin: Ha! Cheesy face. @Matt: Did they really? I'd love to see that.
	♥ 10:33am Mike Sin: You thought I wouldn't be listening, but I am! Yeah, I'm here! I'm ready for single file.
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: SINGLE FILE!
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: And hey Mike!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: Wow, hey, Mike! Saving the beach for those days when everyone else isn't there, eh?
	♥ 10:38am Matt from Springfield: Wishful thinking song, composed by one "M. Van Houten"... ;)
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Does anybody know who the female singer on the Tommy Roe record is?
	♥ 10:39am Matt from Springfield: And the multi-talented Tracey!
	♥ 10:41am Matt from Springfield: Nice baroquey pop! Sounds like it could be a 60s cover, but I haven't found a composer for it yet.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Matt: I think it's a new tune (especially with words like "provocation" in it), but like a lot of Tracey's material, it was going for a 60s pop sound, totally.
	♥ 10:43am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Joe! Bettye LaVette--into the disco era! Evidently this is a longer Pt. 1/Pt. 2 single.
	♥ 10:44am Brian in UK: If it ain't Stiff..................
	♥ 10:45am Matt from Springfield: ......it ain't worth a fuck!! One of my very fave ad slogans, Brian! I've mentioned that here before :)
	♥ 10:46am Matt from Springfield: The Wiki discography for Bettye LaVette also states the label and recording number of her singles; Joe will be interested to know she was with SSS International briefly in the early 70s! :)
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: Goodtime Charlie McCoy. Ah Area Code 615.
	♥ 10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - what woman's an excuse for Shane to drink? Any woman.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Matt: I think it might be the SSS stuff that's compiled on "Do Your Duty," but I might be wrong...
	10:49am Mike Sin: No beach today! Angling for a hot tub! Breakfast = bananas, raspberries, coconut almond milk, B
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: B is for Breakfast today, not Beach.
	♥ 10:52am listener james from westwood: this anthony cut is like bach meets dragnet! swingin'!
	♥ 10:53am Matt from Springfield: @LJFW: Just the notes, sir...
	♥ 10:56am listener james from westwood: now imagining joe friday in a grand baroque wig, but with that deadpan friday face.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @james: Ha! I can picture him smiling, too, like on the cover of "You're My Girl."
	♥ 10:59am Matt from Springfield: Prussian Dragnet--Joe Freitag investigating crimes in and around Brandenburg in Bach's days. Complete with waistcoat and wig, and deadpan face...
	11:00am Glenn M: good morning joe!
	♥ 11:01am Matt from Springfield: Hot 'n Ready discs, glad they cut quality singles!
	♥ 11:02am Michele: HI Joe! Happy 4th everyone!
	♥ 11:04am Matt from Springfield: Happy Fourth to you too Michele! Morning Glenn! Support those who continued to release 45s into the early 90s!
	11:07am Mike Sin: My posts always get get cut off when I use my phone! Anyway, have a happy 4th everyone. Put a bottle of B
	♥ 11:09am Michele: hhahahaha that's funny about Duane
	11:09am Glenn M: Michele!
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! So nice to "see" you! Very funny show last week.
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: Seriously, though, everyone should go listen to that Sylvester version of "My Country Tis of Thee." It kills. If only my show were I day earlier! :(
	11:13am Glenn M: i can't wait to eat some grilled meats
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: Michele, the next song is for you!
	♥ 11:17am Michele: a dedication! yay! thanks Joe! Hi Glenn!
	♥ 11:19am Matt from Springfield: Because Michele's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow :)
	♥ 11:19am Michele: yes syd barrett's pink floyd!!!!! perfect.
	11:19am fleep: Seems appropriate. Good morning, Joe.
	♥ 11:19am Michele: matt hahahahahahahahah
	♥ 11:22am Matt from Springfield: Yay Kaleidoscope!
	♥ 11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh play bitchin' PsychPop if yer must...
	11:27am Chop Scott: Joe! Cheers...
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: Chop Scott, my friend! Hope you're having a good mornin'.
	11:30am Chris M.: hi!
	♥ 11:31am listener james from westwood: ah, "im zoo." tony coulter's way long-ago opening theme. good to hear it again!
	♥ 11:31am Matt from Springfield: Hi Chris M and Chop Scott! (no work today, Joe McG on, almost makes me think Chris is coming on right after this! :) Fun Pyrolator track Rich H has found!
	♥ 11:32am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for the FMU history, LJFW! I always like learning about this stations past and its evolution.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @james: Doff of the cap to Tony C, heard every Tuesday afternoon on the Give the Drummer stream!
	11:33am KevinfromBayRidge: Ditto James... I never knew the group or title.
	11:35am KOTJ: Tindersticks! Good call.
	11:35am Chris M.: this song reminds me: one year ago today, Justin Timberlake was indoctrinated into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.
	11:35am Fernando M Pacheco: Great Tindersticks track! I don't see Tindersticks been played on WFMU as much as it should.
	11:36am KOTJ: Was gonna ask for a two-fer!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Chris: Does he do a lot of Townes Van Zandt covers, this Timberlake man?
	♥ 11:37am listener james from westwood: iirc tony had a monday noon-3pm show back in the early 90s, when i started listening to the station. i used to take a lunch break at noon at the job i had @ the time. one day, tony covered for his preceding dj by starting his show @ 11. pavlov be praised, i heard the theme and got RAVENOUSLY hungry.
	11:37am ken in denver: I second Fernando re Tindersticks.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @james: Ha! Maybe that's why I'm ravenously hungry right now.
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: Either that or the fact that I ate breakfast at FIVE O'CLOCK in the morning!
	11:40am Chris M.: @Joe: he covered Waitin' Around To Die on his new covers album, Under The Covers. it also has a great version of Pancho And Lefty featuring William Bennett of Whitehouse. he's really getting experimental these days.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Chris: Ha ha!
	11:46am Chris M.: "Justin Timberlake is currently composing an original music score for a film by Chris Nolan with John Zorn.[32]" - just found on wikipedia. not very good sentence structure. they really need to raise their standards.
	♥ 11:49am Joe McG: I'd check this if I thought you were at all serious.
	♥ 11:49am Matt from Springfield: Dust of some Karma, that sounded great! That backing track almost could work with Neil Young singing lyrics on Everybody Knows...that kind of feel.
	11:52am Chris M.: hang on, i have a demo of the Zorn/Timberlake score. i'm uploading it to sendspace for you.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Thanks, Chris. Whoops! Looks like I'm out of time!
	♥ 11:53am Matt from Springfield: Next week, Joe! Next week ;)
	11:55am Chris M.: www.sendspace.com...
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody. I hope y'all have a really nice day and week. The next sparkler I light is for you.
	♥ 11:58am Matt from Springfield: Thank you muchly Joe! And have a great Fourth, everyone! If you're not American, you can still grill meat and blow stuff up!
	♥ 11:58am listener james from westwood: thanks, joe!
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe! Happy Holiday!
	♥ 12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Delicious. Hope I can stream @ work in forseeable future for this timeslot...
	6:11pm Holly in NC: Joe - I NEED to find that WOMAD lp. I have the You're My Kind of Climate 12" version. I have the You're My Kind of Climate 7" version (yes I love the song). I do NOT have a version with Neneh Cherry singing "I'm pregnant & I'm dancing better than you are!" BEST.

	♥ 9:51am Matt from Springfield: No prob, RRN63! And yes, whatever that moment is, we're "good & stuck w/it now!", for better and worse! Wow--new Ruthann Friedman comp??! Must acquire! And this "Homemade Records" one too? This is a great duo, was this really a homemade or non-signed group?
	♥ 9:52am Matt from Springfield: Madame Sarko.
	♥ 9:59am Brian in UK: Monsieur Bruni?
	♥ 10:03am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: That would be more appro now! ;)
	10:06am pierre: I hate both Monsieur and Madame.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @Matt: Yes, those two were definitely unsigned!
	♥ 10:12am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Sweet--sounds like another comp I need to get! Bonjour pierre, our everyday Frenchman!
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @Matt: It's pretty great and the book that is sold separately is stunning.
	10:15am KevinfromBayRidge: Happy 4th to all occupants of McGaskoland. Hey Swagmeister!- Got my box of joy on Saturday. You'se got one happy camper heah!
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Hey, Kevin! Great news! Hope your WFMU cheese sticker made it OK!
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: OoooooooooooooooooooooooBuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
	♥ 10:16am Matt from Springfield: Merry Swagmas, Kevin!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone who is waiting oh-so-patiently for their swag. Soon we'll do another BIG round and get most of the the rest of you.
	♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 'BrainWar' makes me think of 'Freedom of Choice' by Devo...
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: This is for all the pregnant ladies in the house.
	10:22am KevinfromBayRidge: @Matt Like Crazy Eddie used to say-"Swagmas in July!" @ Joe Made it just fine. I think I'll plant it right on my forehead!
	♥ 10:24am Matt from Springfield: Rip Rig & Panic! A strange and enjoyable non-pop outfit! They performed on an episode of "The Young Ones" at the time.
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Kevin: Ha! Cheesy face. @Matt: Did they really? I'd love to see that.
	♥ 10:33am Mike Sin: You thought I wouldn't be listening, but I am! Yeah, I'm here! I'm ready for single file.
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: SINGLE FILE!
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: And hey Mike!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: Wow, hey, Mike! Saving the beach for those days when everyone else isn't there, eh?
	♥ 10:38am Matt from Springfield: Wishful thinking song, composed by one "M. Van Houten"... ;)
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Does anybody know who the female singer on the Tommy Roe record is?
	♥ 10:39am Matt from Springfield: And the multi-talented Tracey!
	♥ 10:41am Matt from Springfield: Nice baroquey pop! Sounds like it could be a 60s cover, but I haven't found a composer for it yet.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Matt: I think it's a new tune (especially with words like "provocation" in it), but like a lot of Tracey's material, it was going for a 60s pop sound, totally.
	♥ 10:43am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Joe! Bettye LaVette--into the disco era! Evidently this is a longer Pt. 1/Pt. 2 single.
	♥ 10:44am Brian in UK: If it ain't Stiff..................
	♥ 10:45am Matt from Springfield: ......it ain't worth a fuck!! One of my very fave ad slogans, Brian! I've mentioned that here before :)
	♥ 10:46am Matt from Springfield: The Wiki discography for Bettye LaVette also states the label and recording number of her singles; Joe will be interested to know she was with SSS International briefly in the early 70s! :)
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: Goodtime Charlie McCoy. Ah Area Code 615.
	♥ 10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - what woman's an excuse for Shane to drink? Any woman.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Matt: I think it might be the SSS stuff that's compiled on "Do Your Duty," but I might be wrong...
	10:49am Mike Sin: No beach today! Angling for a hot tub! Breakfast = bananas, raspberries, coconut almond milk, B
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: B is for Breakfast today, not Beach.
	♥ 10:52am listener james from westwood: this anthony cut is like bach meets dragnet! swingin'!
	♥ 10:53am Matt from Springfield: @LJFW: Just the notes, sir...
	♥ 10:56am listener james from westwood: now imagining joe friday in a grand baroque wig, but with that deadpan friday face.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @james: Ha! I can picture him smiling, too, like on the cover of "You're My Girl."
	♥ 10:59am Matt from Springfield: Prussian Dragnet--Joe Freitag investigating crimes in and around Brandenburg in Bach's days. Complete with waistcoat and wig, and deadpan face...
	11:00am Glenn M: good morning joe!
	♥ 11:01am Matt from Springfield: Hot 'n Ready discs, glad they cut quality singles!
	♥ 11:02am Michele: HI Joe! Happy 4th everyone!

	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! So nice to "see" you! Very funny show last week.
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: Seriously, though, everyone should go listen to that Sylvester version of "My Country Tis of Thee." It kills. If only my show were I day earlier! :(
	11:13am Glenn M: i can't wait to eat some grilled meats
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: Michele, the next song is for you!
	♥ 11:17am Michele: a dedication! yay! thanks Joe! Hi Glenn!
	♥ 11:19am Matt from Springfield: Because Michele's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow :)
	♥ 11:19am Michele: yes syd barrett's pink floyd!!!!! perfect.

	11:30am Chris M.: hi!
	♥ 11:31am listener james from westwood: ah, "im zoo." tony coulter's way long-ago opening theme. good to hear it again!
	♥ 11:31am Matt from Springfield: Hi Chris M and Chop Scott! (no work today, Joe McG on, almost makes me think Chris is coming on right after this! :) Fun Pyrolator track Rich H has found!
	♥ 11:32am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for the FMU history, LJFW! I always like learning about this stations past and its evolution.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @james: Doff of the cap to Tony C, heard every Tuesday afternoon on the Give the Drummer stream!
	11:33am KevinfromBayRidge: Ditto James... I never knew the group or title.
	11:35am KOTJ: Tindersticks! Good call.
	11:35am Chris M.: this song reminds me: one year ago today, Justin Timberlake was indoctrinated into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.
	11:35am Fernando M Pacheco: Great Tindersticks track! I don't see Tindersticks been played on WFMU as much as it should.
	11:36am KOTJ: Was gonna ask for a two-fer!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Chris: Does he do a lot of Townes Van Zandt covers, this Timberlake man?
	♥ 11:37am listener james from westwood: iirc tony had a monday noon-3pm show back in the early 90s, when i started listening to the station. i used to take a lunch break at noon at the job i had @ the time. one day, tony covered for his preceding dj by starting his show @ 11. pavlov be praised, i heard the theme and got RAVENOUSLY hungry.
	11:37am ken in denver: I second Fernando re Tindersticks.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @james: Ha! Maybe that's why I'm ravenously hungry right now.
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: Either that or the fact that I ate breakfast at FIVE O'CLOCK in the morning!
	11:40am Chris M.: @Joe: he covered Waitin' Around To Die on his new covers album, Under The Covers. it also has a great version of Pancho And Lefty featuring William Bennett of Whitehouse. he's really getting experimental these days.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Chris: Ha ha!
	11:46am Chris M.: "Justin Timberlake is currently composing an original music score for a film by Chris Nolan with John Zorn.[32]" - just found on wikipedia. not very good sentence structure. they really need to raise their standards.
	♥ 11:49am Joe McG: I'd check this if I thought you were at all serious.
	♥ 11:49am Matt from Springfield: Dust of some Karma, that sounded great! That backing track almost could work with Neil Young singing lyrics on Everybody Knows...that kind of feel.
	11:52am Chris M.: hang on, i have a demo of the Zorn/Timberlake score. i'm uploading it to sendspace for you.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Thanks, Chris. Whoops! Looks like I'm out of time!
	♥ 11:53am Matt from Springfield: Next week, Joe! Next week ;)
	11:55am Chris M.: www.sendspace.com...

	♥ 11:58am listener james from westwood: thanks, joe!
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe! Happy Holiday!
	♥ 12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Delicious. Hope I can stream @ work in forseeable future for this timeslot...
	6:11pm Holly in NC: Joe - I NEED to find that WOMAD lp. I have the You're My Kind of Climate 12" version. I have the You're My Kind of Climate 7" version (yes I love the song). I do NOT have a version with Neneh Cherry singing "I'm pregnant & I'm dancing better than you are!" BEST.
