	♥ 9:12am Joe McG: @Sem: I saw that Scott played 'em, so I thought I'd better hit a different track. An equally good one, I think!

	9:38am Ralphine: Is it African Express, or Africa Express? Spotify says Africa.
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: You got me, Ralphine. Still waking up.
	9:40am Ralphine: Just wanted to make sure that someone Googling "africa express" might be led to your archive.
	9:40am Mugsy: look up WFMU on spotify
	9:40am Berg: very nice, has some Steve Reich to it
	♥ 9:41am Irene Trudel: Wow, really loved that version of "In C." Is it something from your collection or in the WFMU library?
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Ralphine: No prob, Ralphine, thanks for keeping me on track! @Irene: Brand-new in the new bin, Irene. Hard not to play the whole thing, it's so good.
	9:45am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	♥ 9:48am mark: What a great set! Irene, I found "In C" here: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:51am Stanley: Hey Joe and esteemed listeners. I join you on at an illicit time, having just discharged myself from the office with a case of skivitus. Dig.
	♥ 9:52am common: nice Stanley! rev. I just saw the carrot cake.
	9:55am Cecile: hola!
	9:56am SmokinJ: Lovin' the grooves Joe...
	9:56am Cecile: any Parks and Rec (the TV show) fans on here?
	♥ 9:58am common: love that show, cecile, but can't watch the last season yet. was the last show aired already?
	9:59am bobdoesthings: good morning.
	♥ 10:01am Hugh: Cardova is a Meters cover (not Booker T.) Excellent!
	♥ 10:01am Uncle Michael: Now I must know if Cardova predates Ripple - I Don't Know What It Is , But Is Sure Is Funky.
	10:02am Cecile: Yes, common. It was on Tuesday. I cried the first time I watched it, and then the next day when I watched it again. It was not the first time I cried this season. This whole season is excellent but somewhat bittersweet.
	♥ 10:02am Joe McG: @Hugh: Oh, no, the Booker T is the bed music. Sorry if I was unclear about that.
	10:02am Cecile: The whole cast were on Seth Myers afterward. I'd try to bookmark that, and then watch it after you finally see Season 7. It's pretty hilarious.
	10:03am SmokinJ: You need no explanation buddy..
	♥ 10:04am Uncle Michael: It does. The Meters was 4 years earlier. But it gets interesting because I once saw Cyril Neville with Galactic an Trombone Shorty and they opened with the Ripple track...which is based on the Meters track...written by Cyril's brother and two others.
	♥ 10:05am common: thanks cecile. i'll check it out
	♥ 10:06am Hugh: Ya gotcha. I misheard!
	10:07am Cecile: but don't worry, it's not dark at all. Just wistful.
	♥ 10:08am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang!
	10:08am bobdoesthings: John Lennon was such a douche.
	10:08am Claw!: I like that show, Cecile, but I haven't watched past the first episode or two of this final season. No spoilers!
	10:09am Cecile: I will not spoil anything.
	10:09am Claw!: He totally was, Bob.
	10:10am Cecile: yeah, but he had the good sense to marry Yoko. And his kids are nice. And he made some alright music.
	10:10am bobdoesthings: @cecile - not his first kid.. which he totally neglected and told was a mistake.. but yeah.. yay lennon.. nahhh fuck that trend following douche bag.
	10:11am Claw!: His kids' music kinda sucks, though.
	♥ 10:11am Sem Chumbo: :>)
	10:13am Cecile: I didn't say he was nice to Julian, but Julian turned out to be a nice guy. I think his kids music could be amazing, and it would still suffer comparisons.
	10:13am Cecile: I gotta get that Del Shannon album if I can find a reissue or something.
	10:14am SeanG: Jump Around!
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's a bit spotty, don't knock yourself out finding it. This is a good one, though!
	10:15am Claw!: I don't compare them to their father. Objectively, they aren't very talented. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm kinda "whatever" on the Beatles, honestly. I like em ok, but I don't fawn over them like most folks seem to.
	10:17am Cecile: As I learn more about the eras before and after, I do see the Beatles place in history being bigger than I used to think. I like them more than I used to. But I never really liked Sgt Pepper's.
	10:18am Mark: "Henry, what's wrong, you're so quiet." "I'm just listening."
	10:18am the Canterbury wood-elf: Some friends of mine supported Sean Lennon's band The GOASTT last year, so I went along to see them. They rocked. It was cool. Encored with Syd Barrett's "Long Gone". And I had no particular attachment to his family lineage. A pleasant surprise. (I haven't tracked down their records or anything, but a great live experience.)
	10:18am Cecile: oh, hey, I've seen that Del Shannon album around. Bet I can find it cheapish.
	10:18am Brendan: As of midnight it was legal in DC .
	10:19am Mark: Now maybe Congress can get something done, Brendan.
	10:20am Claw!: See, I like Sgt Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour the best, I think. Magical Mystery might me my favorite, if I had to choose. I like Revolver and Rubber Soul ok, too. But I think I like the druggy albums the most.
	10:20am Mugsy: Marijuana was found to be the least deadly of all the substances examined, a shocking 114 times less deadly than alcohol.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: Definitely! I paid 99 cents. God Rest His Soul.
	10:21am Cecile: Oh, Dana Stevens at Slate, you have no heart. The only bad review I've read of the P&R finale.
	10:21am Claw!: Just thinking that, Brendan! Woooo! I think the Repubes are trying to have the mayor arrested if she doesn't enforce the federal weed laws, though. :-/
	10:21am bobdoesthings: @mugsy - tell us something we don't know
	10:21am Cecile: I know, it is a tragedy.
	10:22am Mugsy: I fell asleep during my root canal.
	♥ 10:22am Andrew Waterloo: Back in the day when marijuana was a danger hallucinogen and smoking cigarettes helped a woman produce smaller easier to carry babies.
	♥ 10:23am common: @claw! with you on the beatles records.
	10:24am Cecile: I like the less druggy albums better - Revolver, Rubber Soul, White Album, Abbey Road.
	10:25am βrian: Late to surface. Sleep is good.
	10:25am Cecile: In fact, it took me years to like anything even vaguely Sgt Pepper=ish. I had to work it all out of my system. There are some great songs on that album, but the whole thing is too much for me.
	♥ 10:26am Polyus: Just finished a book dealing with the Vietnam War on the train this morning, what timing.
	10:27am Mark: Not to nitpick, but "Revolver" might be the druggiest of all. John's songs ("She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows") are drenched in acid. Many people think "Revolver" is their best album, coincidentally or not.
	10:27am Brendan: Happy Tet all.
	10:28am Cecile: Let's put it differently. On Revolver, the druggieness expresses itself in creative songwriting. In Sgt Pepper, lumpy self indulgence. Just saying. YMMV.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from Bloomfield: Is it Tet already? Good heavens.
	10:29am V Priceless: It's taken me a lifetime to come to the realization that McCartney was truly the driving force behind The Beatles, too, with all due respect to JL, who indeed has become more and more douche-like as history melts away his public persona. But then again, I've always been more partial to The Kinks and The Who.
	10:30am Mark: I know we were on the wrong side in Viet Nam and all that, but a lot of people lost their brothers and sons and friends during the Tet Offensive, so it's not really something I like to see people celebrating.
	10:33am bobdoesthings: I like thinking how many "legends" would have never existed if they twitter had existed..
	10:33am Mark: V I think John started losing interest around the time of Sgt. Pepper, wasn't really writing as many songs, and when he fell in love with Yoko he was out completely. Paul was the only one interested in keeping it going. And as much as he gets bad-rapped as a lightweight, his best songs--"Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Yesterday"--are as good as anything John ever wrote. And I love John, so I'm not putting him down. John was also the guy who really got the whole thing started, and in the early days he was the undisputed leader, I think even Paul would tell you that.
	10:34am Claw!: I hear ya, Cecile. I used to feel that way, too. Meh. Not sure what changed. Let's just say that I typically don't consciously choose to play The Beatles. There are enough people that play them already, so I just roll with it. Joe definitely gave me an appreciation for Eleanor Rigby, though. ;) Although it seems I like that song much more when it's played by artists who aren't The Beatles. Who knew??
	10:34am John Yuma: Traveling via Amtrak to NYC. Digging my fave station. Thanks for being there.
	10:35am Mark: For me, that's the test of a great song--how many people can perform it in how many different ways. The Beatles wrote a lot of them.
	10:35am Mark: All this because Joe played a track from "Mind Games" about a half an hour ago...
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: You bet, John Yuma! Have a great trip!
	10:43am Cheri Pi: Wow this is a blast from the past! heya Joe!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Cheri: Hiya, Pi!
	10:44am Mugsy: great muppets!
	10:45am Mugsy: doing the open
	10:45am DeaconDave: Hi Joe - sounding good this am
	10:46am Cecile: Pi!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: Many thanks, Deacon Dave!
	10:48am Cecile: WOW, a golden oldie! The M!
	10:48am Cecile: I think this was their only big hit in the US.
	10:50am Cecile: when I was a teen, I thought it was "medication of our heart"
	10:52am adrian in mpls: Wow, at least I was able to catch the end of Boney M
	10:52am Cheri Pi: Cecile!!
	10:53am Mark: I never knew Wayne did this song. If you haven't heard his interview with Mark Maron (it's about a year old now), it's worth listening to the podcast (if you're as big of an MC5 freak as I am, anyway).
	10:55am Robert: It always sounds to me like, "The harder they fall, the harder they fall...." Well, duh! I also hear "The world is white, the world is white...," no "black" in it, & keep thinking it's about snow.
	10:56am Mark: This Lonnie Mack is funky as hell--wonder who the piano player is.
	10:58am Brendan: He's gotta go, she's gotta go. Hope theres more than one bathroom.
	♥ 10:58am Polyus: I haven't heard the Maron bit, but Wayne is one of the better rock interviews for my money. Always really well-spoken, honest about the past, and pretty spot-on about the presence. Other than his praise for Kid Rock, of course.
	♥ 10:59am Polyus: 'present', rather.
	11:00am Mark: Nobody's perfect, Polyus.
	11:01am Mark: Tessie Hill would fit right in on Mr. Nutt's program this evening.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: @Mark - You haven't met me yet.
	♥ 11:05am Greg from Bloomfield: The Melodians!
	11:05am Brendan: @bobdoes.. I've got a case of bottled water, please turn it into a good burgundy wine. That'd be perfect.
	♥ 11:06am Polyus: Unfortunately I couldn't locate his bit from the Plaster Caster doc on YT. Pretty awesome though.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: @brendan - i'm not christ! ..geeeesuzzzz...
	♥ 11:08am Greg from Bloomfield: I don't know ANYTHING. The only thing I know is that The Melodians sang "Rivers Of Babylon". It's a miracle I've gotten this far with just that.
	11:09am Lewis: Gonna fill out my swag for life choices soon! I can still play the slots right?
	11:10am βrian: "We depend on listeners like you to throttle my unctuous pleas for money. Now, c'mon. Shut my mouth!" Way more fun than NPR, yo!
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Greg: Thank you, sir! Always there when we need you. @Lewis: Yes you can, Lewis!
	11:12am Carmichael: Heya Joe, how's it hangin'?
	11:12am Claw!: Here's the disco! Hooray!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Claw!: Gospel disco!
	11:15am Kathy: It IS a HAPPY day!!
	11:15am Claw!: Keepin it funky for the Lord.
	♥ 11:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. See you are funked up on the Premium.
	11:17am DeaconDave: AMEN!
	11:18am DeaconDave: Hey Joe, It is getting close to offering time! About 2 weeks or so?
	♥ 11:19am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Ok, done lurking. This is such an awesome set! Stuff like this is why I need your premium every marathon. You are a treasure hunter without peer!
	♥ 11:20am Mark the Sardine: I agree - fantastic sets today.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Yep! Funkin' from space. @Deacon: Yep, we start hanging out the begging bowl in about two weeks. @Karen: Nice to have you along as always, Karen!
	11:20am steve: hi Joe. i could not possibly be more into your 2015 premium description.
	11:21am Claw!: Yeah. I am so broke, but after seeing your DJ Premium, I'm about to be a little broker.
	♥ 11:21am Sem Chumbo: Yup, just the thing for right now. Joe=genius.
	11:21am Claw!: But also richer in other ways!
	11:21am sinner: Ho lach Emil chez adek helo helo Uppsala olaut echaza, echaza, echaza, Jesu, Jesu amach.....
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: Sinner is speaking in tongues this good morning.
	11:25am conkrete dawg: use me, jesus
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: "Sugar, play it for Jesus"
	♥ 11:26am coelacanth: olá Joe McG, sinner, other sinners.
	11:26am bobdoesthings: I wish Twitter was around when Jesus was around.. I bet he was a bit much too..
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth: oh,man. i missed some vintage Tom Zé.
	11:27am Cecile: preach
	11:27am Lewis: this Howard Hunt cut is amazing!
	11:27am DeaconDave: Can I get a witness???
	11:28am Carmichael: Wouldn't the perfect Easter band be Nazareth?
	11:28am Cecile: YOu would think...
	♥ 11:28am listener monica: That was amazing.
	11:28am Cecile: someone listened to Ernie Isley hard on this record
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: I would have thought 9 Inch Nails.
	11:30am Claw!: I was agnostic when I woke up this morning, but Brother Joe has shown me the light. I was blind, but now I see. CAN I GET AN "AMEN!!!", BROTHERS AND SISTERS???
	♥ 11:32am Fuzzy: Howdy all! Happy Birthday Johnny Cash!
	♥ 11:32am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Somebody liked Pop Staples' guitar playing.
	11:32am adrian in mpls: And Happy Birthday Fats Domino!
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth: {amen.}
	11:33am Mark: I LOVE Pops guitar playing
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: Wow, I'd love to celebrate those birthdays with you guys but I'm far too lazy to run down to the 2nd Floor for records (we're already broadcasting upstairs in anticipation of the marathon...). Happy birthday, Johnny and Fats!~
	11:34am Carmichael: Is that the Watergate Howard Hunt, who turned to the Lord after/during his prison fun time?
	11:34am Claw!: Thank ya, Brother Fish! You are a righteous man, indeed!
	♥ 11:34am coelacanth: tremelo!
	11:34am V Priceless: Ahem!
	11:35am bobdoesthings: @joe - you been digging in kevin nutt's stash?
	11:36am sinner: Only my wife can do that.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @bob: A little sacred, a little profane. All about balance!
	11:37am Cecile: Millis used to do plays so the gospel ladies could see her routine without having to go into a nightclub. So you're off the hook.
	11:37am Kathy: Oh Millie.... queen of the bad album cover......
	11:39am conkrete dawg: flic that bic
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth: she had some GREAT album covers!
	11:40am Claw!: Got somethin in your throat there, Brother V?
	♥ 11:40am common: hee hee! love millie!
	♥ 11:41am Dominick: Tell it!
	11:42am Cecile: haha, they like the Isley Brothers, too.
	11:42am Kathy: Bad = Great !!
	11:42am Claw!: "Back To The Shit" is her best cover.
	11:42am Parq: Gather round after the show, kiddies, and Uncle Parq will explain to you what "flick your bic" meant.
	♥ 11:43am common: I know that one Claw! I like the one with the spider web. forget the title. great record.
	11:44am bobdoesthings: Im getting really confused with which fire she's talking about..
	11:44am Claw!: "Caught Up", common!
	11:45am rw: When Millie Jackson talks about logs, she's really talking about something else, right? Just trying to keep up here...
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @rw: I think she's just really into firewood.
	11:46am Brendan: There are some logs in my neighborhood too. Courtesy of some dogs in my neighborhood.
	11:46am Claw!: or poops
	11:46am bobdoesthings: @joe/RW - now I don't know what to believe.
	♥ 11:46am coelacanth: she was very rustic.
	♥ 11:47am Dominick: All kids love log
	♥ 11:47am common: yea, claw! thanks!
	11:47am Millie Jackson: I like logs.
	11:47am Cecile: Millie is talking about a special fire that Mommy and Daddy Scouts make for each other when they love each other very much.
	11:47am Cecile: I love lamp.
	11:48am steve: alright, the day has hit its peak with this one.
	11:48am Claw!: Logs are great for a snack! And they fit on your back.
	♥ 11:50am coelacanth: i'm exhausted.
	11:50am conkrete dawg: ah, MF--great funk band from the ATL
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @coelacanth: Ha ha ha!
	11:51am Cecile: I was thrilled watching Unsung to learn that Me'lissa Morgan not only covered a Mother's Finest song, but was all "pfft, I knew all the words by heart, wasn't anything"
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: Where do I see these Unsung shows? I'm really interested in them!
	♥ 11:54am coelacanth: Joe,i just saw you have one of Millie's worst/Greatest represented on your profile...alongside one of my mains: Anne Briggs.
	♥ 11:54am Sem Chumbo: Take me the River, Joe, and wash me down. I'm done converted. Thanks so much for the show, and hope to see you later, God willing. Hear that, Lord?
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: FREEFORM BRING IT ON.
	11:55am Cecile: TV1 online, or on TV1 if you have them. Some people have put them up on YouTube too, I think. Mille's Unsung was great.
	♥ 11:55am Polyus: Man, do I feel stupid for not knowing anything about Mother's Finest. This is a jam.
	11:56am Cecile: tvone.tv...
	11:56am V Priceless: cool show - thanks Joe!
	11:56am Parq: What a finish! One thing about Miss Jackson, she sure knew how to stretch out a groove. Thanks for the great show, JMcG.

	♥ 9:12am Joe McG: @Sem: I saw that Scott played 'em, so I thought I'd better hit a different track. An equally good one, I think!
	♥ 9:15am Joe McG: Hey Andy! To keep in the Scott McDowell mood, here's one recorded for his show a month ago.

	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Hi, Brendan! @Tiago: Happy to oblige! @Ken: Sounds like a good name for my new concert series!
	9:38am Ralphine: Is it African Express, or Africa Express? Spotify says Africa.
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: You got me, Ralphine. Still waking up.
	9:40am Ralphine: Just wanted to make sure that someone Googling "africa express" might be led to your archive.
	9:40am Mugsy: look up WFMU on spotify
	9:40am Berg: very nice, has some Steve Reich to it
	♥ 9:41am Irene Trudel: Wow, really loved that version of "In C." Is it something from your collection or in the WFMU library?
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Ralphine: No prob, Ralphine, thanks for keeping me on track! @Irene: Brand-new in the new bin, Irene. Hard not to play the whole thing, it's so good.
	9:45am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	♥ 9:48am mark: What a great set! Irene, I found "In C" here: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:51am Stanley: Hey Joe and esteemed listeners. I join you on at an illicit time, having just discharged myself from the office with a case of skivitus. Dig.
	♥ 9:52am common: nice Stanley! rev. I just saw the carrot cake.
	9:55am Cecile: hola!
	9:56am SmokinJ: Lovin' the grooves Joe...
	9:56am Cecile: any Parks and Rec (the TV show) fans on here?
	♥ 9:58am common: love that show, cecile, but can't watch the last season yet. was the last show aired already?
	9:59am bobdoesthings: good morning.
	♥ 10:01am Hugh: Cardova is a Meters cover (not Booker T.) Excellent!
	♥ 10:01am Uncle Michael: Now I must know if Cardova predates Ripple - I Don't Know What It Is , But Is Sure Is Funky.
	10:02am Cecile: Yes, common. It was on Tuesday. I cried the first time I watched it, and then the next day when I watched it again. It was not the first time I cried this season. This whole season is excellent but somewhat bittersweet.
	♥ 10:02am Joe McG: @Hugh: Oh, no, the Booker T is the bed music. Sorry if I was unclear about that.
	10:02am Cecile: The whole cast were on Seth Myers afterward. I'd try to bookmark that, and then watch it after you finally see Season 7. It's pretty hilarious.
	10:03am SmokinJ: You need no explanation buddy..
	♥ 10:04am Uncle Michael: It does. The Meters was 4 years earlier. But it gets interesting because I once saw Cyril Neville with Galactic an Trombone Shorty and they opened with the Ripple track...which is based on the Meters track...written by Cyril's brother and two others.
	♥ 10:05am common: thanks cecile. i'll check it out
	♥ 10:06am Hugh: Ya gotcha. I misheard!
	10:07am Cecile: but don't worry, it's not dark at all. Just wistful.
	♥ 10:08am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang!
	10:08am bobdoesthings: John Lennon was such a douche.
	10:08am Claw!: I like that show, Cecile, but I haven't watched past the first episode or two of this final season. No spoilers!
	10:09am Cecile: I will not spoil anything.
	10:09am Claw!: He totally was, Bob.
	10:10am Cecile: yeah, but he had the good sense to marry Yoko. And his kids are nice. And he made some alright music.
	10:10am bobdoesthings: @cecile - not his first kid.. which he totally neglected and told was a mistake.. but yeah.. yay lennon.. nahhh fuck that trend following douche bag.
	10:11am Claw!: His kids' music kinda sucks, though.
	♥ 10:11am Sem Chumbo: :>)
	10:13am Cecile: I didn't say he was nice to Julian, but Julian turned out to be a nice guy. I think his kids music could be amazing, and it would still suffer comparisons.
	10:13am Cecile: I gotta get that Del Shannon album if I can find a reissue or something.
	10:14am SeanG: Jump Around!
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's a bit spotty, don't knock yourself out finding it. This is a good one, though!
	10:15am Claw!: I don't compare them to their father. Objectively, they aren't very talented. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm kinda "whatever" on the Beatles, honestly. I like em ok, but I don't fawn over them like most folks seem to.
	10:17am Cecile: As I learn more about the eras before and after, I do see the Beatles place in history being bigger than I used to think. I like them more than I used to. But I never really liked Sgt Pepper's.
	10:18am Mark: "Henry, what's wrong, you're so quiet." "I'm just listening."
	10:18am the Canterbury wood-elf: Some friends of mine supported Sean Lennon's band The GOASTT last year, so I went along to see them. They rocked. It was cool. Encored with Syd Barrett's "Long Gone". And I had no particular attachment to his family lineage. A pleasant surprise. (I haven't tracked down their records or anything, but a great live experience.)
	10:18am Cecile: oh, hey, I've seen that Del Shannon album around. Bet I can find it cheapish.
	10:18am Brendan: As of midnight it was legal in DC .
	10:19am Mark: Now maybe Congress can get something done, Brendan.
	10:20am Claw!: See, I like Sgt Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour the best, I think. Magical Mystery might me my favorite, if I had to choose. I like Revolver and Rubber Soul ok, too. But I think I like the druggy albums the most.
	10:20am Mugsy: Marijuana was found to be the least deadly of all the substances examined, a shocking 114 times less deadly than alcohol.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: Definitely! I paid 99 cents. God Rest His Soul.
	10:21am Cecile: Oh, Dana Stevens at Slate, you have no heart. The only bad review I've read of the P&R finale.
	10:21am Claw!: Just thinking that, Brendan! Woooo! I think the Repubes are trying to have the mayor arrested if she doesn't enforce the federal weed laws, though. :-/
	10:21am bobdoesthings: @mugsy - tell us something we don't know
	10:21am Cecile: I know, it is a tragedy.
	10:22am Mugsy: I fell asleep during my root canal.
	♥ 10:22am Andrew Waterloo: Back in the day when marijuana was a danger hallucinogen and smoking cigarettes helped a woman produce smaller easier to carry babies.
	♥ 10:23am common: @claw! with you on the beatles records.
	10:24am Cecile: I like the less druggy albums better - Revolver, Rubber Soul, White Album, Abbey Road.
	10:25am βrian: Late to surface. Sleep is good.
	10:25am Cecile: In fact, it took me years to like anything even vaguely Sgt Pepper=ish. I had to work it all out of my system. There are some great songs on that album, but the whole thing is too much for me.
	♥ 10:26am Polyus: Just finished a book dealing with the Vietnam War on the train this morning, what timing.
	10:27am Mark: Not to nitpick, but "Revolver" might be the druggiest of all. John's songs ("She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows") are drenched in acid. Many people think "Revolver" is their best album, coincidentally or not.
	10:27am Brendan: Happy Tet all.
	10:28am Cecile: Let's put it differently. On Revolver, the druggieness expresses itself in creative songwriting. In Sgt Pepper, lumpy self indulgence. Just saying. YMMV.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from Bloomfield: Is it Tet already? Good heavens.
	10:29am V Priceless: It's taken me a lifetime to come to the realization that McCartney was truly the driving force behind The Beatles, too, with all due respect to JL, who indeed has become more and more douche-like as history melts away his public persona. But then again, I've always been more partial to The Kinks and The Who.
	10:30am Mark: I know we were on the wrong side in Viet Nam and all that, but a lot of people lost their brothers and sons and friends during the Tet Offensive, so it's not really something I like to see people celebrating.
	10:33am bobdoesthings: I like thinking how many "legends" would have never existed if they twitter had existed..
	10:33am Mark: V I think John started losing interest around the time of Sgt. Pepper, wasn't really writing as many songs, and when he fell in love with Yoko he was out completely. Paul was the only one interested in keeping it going. And as much as he gets bad-rapped as a lightweight, his best songs--"Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Yesterday"--are as good as anything John ever wrote. And I love John, so I'm not putting him down. John was also the guy who really got the whole thing started, and in the early days he was the undisputed leader, I think even Paul would tell you that.
	10:34am Claw!: I hear ya, Cecile. I used to feel that way, too. Meh. Not sure what changed. Let's just say that I typically don't consciously choose to play The Beatles. There are enough people that play them already, so I just roll with it. Joe definitely gave me an appreciation for Eleanor Rigby, though. ;) Although it seems I like that song much more when it's played by artists who aren't The Beatles. Who knew??
	10:34am John Yuma: Traveling via Amtrak to NYC. Digging my fave station. Thanks for being there.
	10:35am Mark: For me, that's the test of a great song--how many people can perform it in how many different ways. The Beatles wrote a lot of them.
	10:35am Mark: All this because Joe played a track from "Mind Games" about a half an hour ago...
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: You bet, John Yuma! Have a great trip!
	10:43am Cheri Pi: Wow this is a blast from the past! heya Joe!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Cheri: Hiya, Pi!
	10:44am Mugsy: great muppets!
	10:45am Mugsy: doing the open
	10:45am DeaconDave: Hi Joe - sounding good this am
	10:46am Cecile: Pi!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: Many thanks, Deacon Dave!
	10:48am Cecile: WOW, a golden oldie! The M!
	10:48am Cecile: I think this was their only big hit in the US.
	10:50am Cecile: when I was a teen, I thought it was "medication of our heart"
	10:52am adrian in mpls: Wow, at least I was able to catch the end of Boney M
	10:52am Cheri Pi: Cecile!!
	10:53am Mark: I never knew Wayne did this song. If you haven't heard his interview with Mark Maron (it's about a year old now), it's worth listening to the podcast (if you're as big of an MC5 freak as I am, anyway).
	10:55am Robert: It always sounds to me like, "The harder they fall, the harder they fall...." Well, duh! I also hear "The world is white, the world is white...," no "black" in it, & keep thinking it's about snow.
	10:56am Mark: This Lonnie Mack is funky as hell--wonder who the piano player is.
	10:58am Brendan: He's gotta go, she's gotta go. Hope theres more than one bathroom.
	♥ 10:58am Polyus: I haven't heard the Maron bit, but Wayne is one of the better rock interviews for my money. Always really well-spoken, honest about the past, and pretty spot-on about the presence. Other than his praise for Kid Rock, of course.
	♥ 10:59am Polyus: 'present', rather.
	11:00am Mark: Nobody's perfect, Polyus.
	11:01am Mark: Tessie Hill would fit right in on Mr. Nutt's program this evening.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: @Mark - You haven't met me yet.
	♥ 11:05am Greg from Bloomfield: The Melodians!
	11:05am Brendan: @bobdoes.. I've got a case of bottled water, please turn it into a good burgundy wine. That'd be perfect.
	♥ 11:06am Polyus: Unfortunately I couldn't locate his bit from the Plaster Caster doc on YT. Pretty awesome though.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: @brendan - i'm not christ! ..geeeesuzzzz...
	♥ 11:08am Greg from Bloomfield: I don't know ANYTHING. The only thing I know is that The Melodians sang "Rivers Of Babylon". It's a miracle I've gotten this far with just that.
	11:09am Lewis: Gonna fill out my swag for life choices soon! I can still play the slots right?
	11:10am βrian: "We depend on listeners like you to throttle my unctuous pleas for money. Now, c'mon. Shut my mouth!" Way more fun than NPR, yo!
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Greg: Thank you, sir! Always there when we need you. @Lewis: Yes you can, Lewis!
	11:12am Carmichael: Heya Joe, how's it hangin'?
	11:12am Claw!: Here's the disco! Hooray!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Claw!: Gospel disco!
	11:15am Kathy: It IS a HAPPY day!!
	11:15am Claw!: Keepin it funky for the Lord.
	♥ 11:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. See you are funked up on the Premium.
	11:17am DeaconDave: AMEN!
	11:18am DeaconDave: Hey Joe, It is getting close to offering time! About 2 weeks or so?
	♥ 11:19am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Ok, done lurking. This is such an awesome set! Stuff like this is why I need your premium every marathon. You are a treasure hunter without peer!
	♥ 11:20am Mark the Sardine: I agree - fantastic sets today.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Yep! Funkin' from space. @Deacon: Yep, we start hanging out the begging bowl in about two weeks. @Karen: Nice to have you along as always, Karen!
	11:20am steve: hi Joe. i could not possibly be more into your 2015 premium description.
	11:21am Claw!: Yeah. I am so broke, but after seeing your DJ Premium, I'm about to be a little broker.
	♥ 11:21am Sem Chumbo: Yup, just the thing for right now. Joe=genius.
	11:21am Claw!: But also richer in other ways!
	11:21am sinner: Ho lach Emil chez adek helo helo Uppsala olaut echaza, echaza, echaza, Jesu, Jesu amach.....
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: Sinner is speaking in tongues this good morning.
	11:25am conkrete dawg: use me, jesus
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: "Sugar, play it for Jesus"
	♥ 11:26am coelacanth: olá Joe McG, sinner, other sinners.
	11:26am bobdoesthings: I wish Twitter was around when Jesus was around.. I bet he was a bit much too..
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth: oh,man. i missed some vintage Tom Zé.
	11:27am Cecile: preach
	11:27am Lewis: this Howard Hunt cut is amazing!
	11:27am DeaconDave: Can I get a witness???
	11:28am Carmichael: Wouldn't the perfect Easter band be Nazareth?
	11:28am Cecile: YOu would think...
	♥ 11:28am listener monica: That was amazing.
	11:28am Cecile: someone listened to Ernie Isley hard on this record
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: I would have thought 9 Inch Nails.
	11:30am Claw!: I was agnostic when I woke up this morning, but Brother Joe has shown me the light. I was blind, but now I see. CAN I GET AN "AMEN!!!", BROTHERS AND SISTERS???
	♥ 11:32am Fuzzy: Howdy all! Happy Birthday Johnny Cash!
	♥ 11:32am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Somebody liked Pop Staples' guitar playing.
	11:32am adrian in mpls: And Happy Birthday Fats Domino!
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth: {amen.}
	11:33am Mark: I LOVE Pops guitar playing
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: Wow, I'd love to celebrate those birthdays with you guys but I'm far too lazy to run down to the 2nd Floor for records (we're already broadcasting upstairs in anticipation of the marathon...). Happy birthday, Johnny and Fats!~
	11:34am Carmichael: Is that the Watergate Howard Hunt, who turned to the Lord after/during his prison fun time?
	11:34am Claw!: Thank ya, Brother Fish! You are a righteous man, indeed!
	♥ 11:34am coelacanth: tremelo!
	11:34am V Priceless: Ahem!
	11:35am bobdoesthings: @joe - you been digging in kevin nutt's stash?
	11:36am sinner: Only my wife can do that.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @bob: A little sacred, a little profane. All about balance!
	11:37am Cecile: Millis used to do plays so the gospel ladies could see her routine without having to go into a nightclub. So you're off the hook.
	11:37am Kathy: Oh Millie.... queen of the bad album cover......
	11:39am conkrete dawg: flic that bic
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth: she had some GREAT album covers!
	11:40am Claw!: Got somethin in your throat there, Brother V?
	♥ 11:40am common: hee hee! love millie!
	♥ 11:41am Dominick: Tell it!
	11:42am Cecile: haha, they like the Isley Brothers, too.
	11:42am Kathy: Bad = Great !!
	11:42am Claw!: "Back To The Shit" is her best cover.
	11:42am Parq: Gather round after the show, kiddies, and Uncle Parq will explain to you what "flick your bic" meant.
	♥ 11:43am common: I know that one Claw! I like the one with the spider web. forget the title. great record.
	11:44am bobdoesthings: Im getting really confused with which fire she's talking about..
	11:44am Claw!: "Caught Up", common!
	11:45am rw: When Millie Jackson talks about logs, she's really talking about something else, right? Just trying to keep up here...
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @rw: I think she's just really into firewood.
	11:46am Brendan: There are some logs in my neighborhood too. Courtesy of some dogs in my neighborhood.
	11:46am Claw!: or poops
	11:46am bobdoesthings: @joe/RW - now I don't know what to believe.
	♥ 11:46am coelacanth: she was very rustic.
	♥ 11:47am Dominick: All kids love log
	♥ 11:47am common: yea, claw! thanks!
	11:47am Millie Jackson: I like logs.
	11:47am Cecile: Millie is talking about a special fire that Mommy and Daddy Scouts make for each other when they love each other very much.
	11:47am Cecile: I love lamp.
	11:48am steve: alright, the day has hit its peak with this one.
	11:48am Claw!: Logs are great for a snack! And they fit on your back.
	♥ 11:50am coelacanth: i'm exhausted.
	11:50am conkrete dawg: ah, MF--great funk band from the ATL
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @coelacanth: Ha ha ha!
	11:51am Cecile: I was thrilled watching Unsung to learn that Me'lissa Morgan not only covered a Mother's Finest song, but was all "pfft, I knew all the words by heart, wasn't anything"
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: Where do I see these Unsung shows? I'm really interested in them!
	♥ 11:54am coelacanth: Joe,i just saw you have one of Millie's worst/Greatest represented on your profile...alongside one of my mains: Anne Briggs.
	♥ 11:54am Sem Chumbo: Take me the River, Joe, and wash me down. I'm done converted. Thanks so much for the show, and hope to see you later, God willing. Hear that, Lord?
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: FREEFORM BRING IT ON.
	11:55am Cecile: TV1 online, or on TV1 if you have them. Some people have put them up on YouTube too, I think. Mille's Unsung was great.
	♥ 11:55am Polyus: Man, do I feel stupid for not knowing anything about Mother's Finest. This is a jam.
	11:56am Cecile: tvone.tv...
	11:56am V Priceless: cool show - thanks Joe!
	11:56am Parq: What a finish! One thing about Miss Jackson, she sure knew how to stretch out a groove. Thanks for the great show, JMcG.
