♥ 12:03pm Mike East:

bad ass 4 tops cover!!!

12:04pm Dr. Goot:

Rock!

12:06pm pierre:

BONJOUR JOE !

♥ 12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah Mike ! ; Pete Townshend said 'I'll Be There' was big for him.

12:06pm SmokinJ:

I'm all set.... ;-)

12:07pm Parq:

Howdy Joe and Tri-Chorders. Dug that Collins cover of the Tops tune.

12:07pm KP:

Yo, Joe!

12:10pm Cheri Pi:

Les Terribles are Les Wonderful!

12:11pm SmokinJ:

Must admit.. Isaak rocks now & then..

12:12pm davew61:

Hey Joe ....How was Chris at the Wellmont ? Used to go see him at the Bottom Line in the lates 80s... Dave from Asbury

12:13pm Parq:

*Another" swell cover!

♥ 12:13pm Mike East:

was just watching the Big Star documentary last weekend again.

♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz:

Ahhh, I had heard that the Searchers covered this, never heard this version though, nice (hard to kill this song).

♥ 12:15pm Mike East:

I've been slowly teaching myself Big Star covers...they sound so simple, but there's a lot going on there.

♥ 12:15pm MattBelow:

Hey Joe et all!

♥ 12:16pm Mike East:

this dylan song has one of my favorite lyrics: "he said you can't forget your past. I said, 'you can't? what dya mean you can't? of course you can"

♥ 12:16pm ChrisB.:

Ah, the dulcet tones of the Old Croaker.

12:19pm Parq:

Listening to the elderly Bob D, I can't stop thinking of that Richard Belzer bit that had him singing an an old Yiddischer accent.

12:21pm bobdoesthings:

Dusty Springfield! Love this tune

12:24pm bobdoesthings:

the ending of this dusty springfield song always annoys me... towards the end when the climactic buildup part comes her voice is too low in the mix..

♥ 12:26pm listener jeff:

Does anybody know anything about a group called the "Fabulous Pack? I picked up a few 45's at a record show but can't find out much about them other than: Flint Michigan and Mark Farner was in group for a while. Lucky 11 label.

12:27pm Joe B:

it's pre Grand funk railroad guys

12:29pm John L.:

Up in these parts Dylan can do no wrong. I even sell a bunch of the Christmas cds come Winter.

12:30pm KP:

Time Out of Mind is the last one that brings back the magic

12:32pm Hoboken Jack:

Howdy Joe!

♥ 12:35pm Dominick:

probably

♥ 12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- honestly? Bangles still my fave 'S.Gurls'
...was Bob's 3rd major peak, no? that's amazing - but mid60s like nothing else ever was or shall be.
- Ah - the Monte 1st set ...(smiles)...

♥ 12:40pm listener jeff:

Thanks Joe! was looking to see if I could find any other records but couldn't. Wondered if they knew about the MC5....or ever played with them.

12:41pm Joe B:

Hi everyone, thanks for listening/checking in! appreciate it!

Dave the Chris Isaak show was great!

12:42pm Joe B:

Jeff, they mainly recorded as Terry Knight and the Pack. Terry Knigh of course went on to become their shady manager of Grand Funk. They did record as The Pack, and maybe even the Fabulous pack when they first signed to Capitol. Look for a great version of Fire by hendrix they did on Capitol as just The Pack

12:44pm Joe B:

hey Mike East, I agree, cool version by Mr collins!

Hey Bob, agree on the end of the Dusty track. Hi Dr Goot, bonjour Pierre!

♥ 12:47pm paul b:

Odd, this is the second time now I've heard the OBN IIIs come on and thought it was some Deniz Tek related band at first

12:49pm Joe B:

Hey Kp! hey J and Parq!

♥ 12:49pm James in ATL:

Joe - Great show as always. I saw Muck and the Mires with the Woggles this last week and the Muck folks were sporting Three Chord Monte shirts.

12:49pm Joe Belock:

RR Nov 63 - I dig them both a lot! yeah Bangles version very good.

12:50pm Joe B:

Hi James, thanks! yes, I saw FB evidence of that event!

12:51pm Joe B:

also, I do like those Dylan albums in the 97-2001 era but people get carried away sometimes praising them. and it is balanced out by his terrible live shows

12:51pm Joe B:

hey Cheri Pi! great job thursday on diane's show! lotta fun!

12:54pm Joe B:

good point paul!

12:58pm Joe B:

hey dominick! hey jack! hey john L! hey chris B! hey Mattbelow!

1:05pm Bluesman:

I sure could use a "my boss is a friggin' sneaky backstabbing moron" type song today.

1:09pm Joe B:

Blues, hope 'Stupidity' will cover it!

1:11pm Joe B:

Hey Dave! Hey Doctor Jazz! doctor, glad you dug the searchers version!

1:11pm Joe B:

thanks everybody for tuning in. see everyone at the Bell House Friday!

1:11pm geokopp:

Great stuff as always, 3 Chord Joe!!

1:13pm Bluesman:

Yep!!!!!! Nailed it!!!!!

1:14pm Figures of Light:

We're so sick of everything EXCEPT WFMU and JOE MONTE!

1:14pm Dr. Goot:

Cool TP cover!

1:14pm Joe B:

hey George! hang in there Blues! FoL in the house!

1:18pm Joe B:

i agree Dr Goot, hope they record it or put it out!

♥ 1:19pm Dominick:

This is so good!

1:20pm Figures of Light:

Hey Joe - I agree with Michael! We ARE so sick of everything except WFMU and Joe "Monte" Belock. PS: Our new album - "Greatest Hits" - is out today as a digital download - 20 cuts in all. As always, a killer show, and as always, I gotta go to work! Rock on!

1:21pm Bluesman:

Its all good JB! "Semi-vindication" ocurred in the past 15 minutes. As if the saints intervened.

1:22pm Figures of Light:

Hey -- The Saints -- now there's a great band!

1:23pm Figures of Light:

PS: Love your profile pic - which from the distance looks like surgeon going in for the kill! Really, or am I projecting?

1:24pm Joe B:

ha!

1:32pm KP:

Hacienda Bros., good!

1:33pm MenfussMike:

Tennessee Waltz

1:34pm MenfussMike:

kind of sounds like Acetone

1:34pm meatfucker:

I just started listening, and if this sucks, I blame it all on you.

1:35pm meatfucker:

why did I even doubt you fuckers? Silly me.

1:35pm meatfucker:

slowest cover ever.

1:38pm meatfucker:

it does it job

1:39pm meatfucker:

this probably doesnt apply, but its pretty sweet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trG-jQk7wXA

1:39pm Bill:

New Sloan today, and just saw a new record from The Tripwires on bandcamp

1:40pm meatfucker:

I cant afford any shows in chicago anymore, unless its metal

1:40pm meatfucker:

thats an interesting sound you have there now.

1:41pm meatfucker:

that has to be intentional right? maybe his sound guy is fucking with him?

1:43pm meatfucker:

upupdowndownleftrightleftrightababselectstart

1:44pm meatfucker:

if he keeps doing that in the song
im calling someone.

1:46pm Joe B:

John L, coming down for the Yo La Tengo shows in December?

1:46pm meatfucker:

like watching paint dry

1:47pm meatfucker:

I think im eithe rincredibly drunk, or these songs are skipping

1:47pm meatfucker:

the fucker is discenerning which

1:48pm davy king:

Great show. We are enjoying it very much here in little isolated England x

1:50pm Joe B:

thanks Davy!

1:53pm John L.:

Not sure about YLT. I should probably decide soon.

1:54pm John L.:

Have you considered coming up for White Fence? Thursday, October 23.

1:56pm bobdoesthings:

sweet iron butterfly cover

1:56pm Joe B:

Gonna try to catch white fence the day before down here if I can get off work

1:56pm Parq:

It isn't enough that I went into a bar at lunchtime and heard "Free Bird". I have to hear this, too?

♥ 1:57pm doctorjazz:

THE LONG VERSION!!! PLAY THE LONG VERSION!!!

♥ 1:57pm Stevel:

Please tell me Sammy Davis Jr. covered Innagaddadavida. Please.

♥ 1:58pm doctorjazz:

Worlds worst drum solo, gotta count for something...

1:59pm Joe B:

cant blame me for freebird!

i wish Stevel!

hey at least the drummer on this version went on to kill his mother with a hammer

1:59pm PKNY:

Jim Gordon on the drums, King Errisson on the bongos = killer (no pun intended) combo.

2:00pm bobdoesthings:

en.wikipedia.org...

2:01pm Parq:

Jeez, Bob, I was a huge Jim Gordon fan in the early 70s, and I never knew about that. Whew!

♥ 2:03pm Stevel:

Thanks Bob. I was repressing my inner tabloid desires. Rock and roll. The gift that keeps on giving.

2:04pm Toddophonic:

Bluesman, when did you start working for me?

2:04pm bobdoesthings:

at least we can blame it on scizophrenia. Not like that recent mother slaying that happened last week in ho-ho-kus. so sad.

2:06pm John L.:

I never really listened to Built To Spill. This is a good tune. How is the rest of the album?

2:07pm Bluesman:

Toddophonic I'd be happy to take your abuse.

2:07pm Joe B:

i think it is their best, not sure how their big fans view it. i saw them a few times, only one show was really good.

2:07pm Parq:

I grew up in the northern corner of Paramus, just over the border from Ho-Ho-Kus. It's why I pronounce Hoboken as "HoBOken".

2:08pm Joe B:

you and bugs bunny!

2:09pm Parq:

Yeah, exactly! That reinforced it.

♥ 2:12pm courtneynoir:

Diggin' this Carsick Cars, man

🎸

♥ 2:13pm Jeff from Rahway:

Joe's been playing lots of Carsick Cars recently. Keep em coming.

2:14pm Joe B:

dont know how i missed 'em 5 years ago!

2:15pm bobdoesthings:

someone made a funny pic of "hobo-ken" with a picture of a hobo with Ken's head on top. I shoulda saved it!

2:15pm John L.:

So many people I know loved Built To Spill so much that I resisted them. Sometimes it's better to hear something without knowing who it is. Maybe you can slide in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

2:15pm ken in denver:

Me like music from big city.

2:15pm Bluesman:

Word. Carsicks Cars is great stuff.

2:19pm KP:

Love when directions to a Brooklyn venue include a transfer to a bus. Uh ... no.

2:20pm Joe B:

ha! yes KP!

2:21pm bobdoesthings:

What does everyone have against brooklyn buses?!

2:21pm Joe B:

KP, John Cooper Clarke is on the bill friday at bowery electric

2:22pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Joe & all Belockers! Yup, Monte Hall isn't much better, Especially if the WTC Path isn't functioning & dealing with the dreaded R train.

2:23pm Joe B:

bell house friday kevin?

♥ 2:26pm Dominick:

Smooth

♥ 2:27pm Dominick:

Rough

2:28pm KevinfromBayRidge:

I guss after you elaborated on the schlep from NJ, I would be remiss not to make the 15 minute trip, Saw Cobra's at Siren Fest 8 or 9 years ago- Gureat!

2:29pm Whooda:

Shakin' the hair outta my head man. Yeah!

2:33pm Rory:

Damn good show today!

2:34pm Joe B:

Thanks Rory! hey Whooda! Dominick, nice breadown!

2:39pm legalmind:

2:47pm rf:

2:50pm Joe B:

🎸

♥ 2:52pm Jeff from Rahway:

Holy cow Shonen Knife is still rockin after all these years!

2:53pm jljl:

2:55pm John L.:

Thought I heard a little Thin Lizzy in that Shonen Knife tune.

2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge:

2:56pm bobdoesthings:
