	9:24am pierre: Bonjour Joe ! how is everyone, not frozen ?
	♥ 9:24am Guido from Cologne: Would you believe: two weeks of real winter here. Now springtime temperatures again!
	9:27am annie: actually snow angels abounded here.. and the revelers were many!.. sledding down both the streets near me and the hot chocolate ran!! i think it gave a well-needed breather to the city..
	9:27am redkayak: Good morning all. Hope all are well out east!

	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: Morning, pierre, redkayak, ngh, and melinda! There's some very nice things on the new album, melinda!
	9:33am the sugarwolf: hello!
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Hi, The Sugarwolf! Welcome.
	9:39am (Eyepatch) Fox: I find it really weird to be awake this early.
	9:40am V Priceless: Roxy / Be Bop combo - nice!
	9:40am SueAdynamo: i thought u were going to play Floyd from those bird calls.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Sue: Ah, I think it's probably those same birds! Everyone in England seemed to use the same sound effects record.
	9:46am Brendan: Good morning folks
	♥ 9:46am tadpoles: Yoko also used those same birds on one of her tracks. Can't recall the title off the top of my head. Great to hear Be Bop.
	♥ 9:50am Guido from Cologne: True: Floyd Cirrus Minor Birds on Be Bop Deluxe track There is/was the EMI Sound-library (that also served the "No. nine" announcement on Beatles "Revolution No. 9")
	♥ 9:50am Guido from Cologne: I still go for the car-crash sound effects show! :-)
	9:51am Cheri Pi: wow this is cool
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& one version (the earlier?) of 'Across the Universe' uses them birds I believe...
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @Guido: Sheila B. wants me to take that on. I'm going to give it a shot one of these days!
	♥ 9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'End of the Season' by TheKinks (same birds)?...
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: RR63: I think they may be, but they're really amped up if they are!
	9:55am V Priceless: Way to glam it up, Joe! Woo!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: @JOE Remember my "hausputz-collection for Meghan? CD2 contains a track by girl singer Valerie Pascal containing the effect. If you don't find it give me a note and I'll send it again.
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Guido: Of course I remember it, Guido! I made copies for myself. Thanks for the reminder!
	9:58am Cecile: you should play "Glamor Boy" by the Guess Who. It's an angry swipe at Mott the Hoople for getting a huge signing bonus at the time.
	10:00am the sugarwolf: Taking Sides: Frida vs Barbra vs Jessica Lange.....
	10:00am Matt Warwick: Morning joe!!!
	10:00am Guy Walker: If you gonna do it Whizz Kidz, you gotta add the little lite part at the end!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Forgive me, Guy, I know not what I do.
	10:01am pavlov's listener: BIRDS! I checked my watch for the day date - is today Tuesday? Did Trouble slide down the hill for a fill in?
	10:02am Cecile: sugarwolf, I love your icon.
	10:02am βrian: Ah, the Aisle Seven Waltz. I love this bed music.
	♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh yeah, Anni-Frid from ABBA...of course!
	10:02am Brendan: It still sneaks up on me the depth of Bowie 's loss on me. Almost like an expanding universe. Sad, melancholy, but with a wistful smile and all the better for having had him on this planet.
	♥ 10:03am Marcel M: Oh man.. making a lasagna while snowed in... that sounds amazing. I think I'd eat it in a day!
	♥ 10:04am CHRIStafariRI: Frida nailed it. She's definitely the first A in ABBA
	10:04am the sugarwolf: @Cecile: Thanks!! my friend made it for me because we love M.E. Rodgers and the deal with it dog.
	10:04am Ear Hammer: Lasagna is one serving and one serving only and that is an entire lasagna.
	10:05am Cecile: the deal with it dog?
	10:05am βrian: GOP talking point: "I'm not a meteorologist, but I think this snow storm theory is a hoax."
	10:06am the sugarwolf: @Cecile: gifgarage.blogspot.com...
	10:06am Kurt Gottschalk: i didn't know that.
	10:06am annie: i had a frozen pizza dough in the fridge and made one with armageddon food from the cupboards and fridge: canned chili, local sausage, sauteed spinach, and sliced muenster from the store up the street. DE-licious!!!
	10:07am annie: oh... and.... cecile!!
	10:07am the sugarwolf: oops, I almost filled out my return address on envelope as Sugar Wolf, NY, don't post and pay bills at the same time....
	10:08am P-90: I LOVE Be Bop Deluxe too, Joe!
	10:08am the sugarwolf: it's the year of the monkey, I think??
	10:08am Brendan: Monkey
	10:08am Ear Hammer: It's the year of the monkey!
	♥ 10:09am Guido from Cologne: Frankie?
	10:09am Brendan: Don't you you know you gotta shock the monkey
	10:09am Stashu: IT IS THE YEAR OF THE MONKEY. THE MONKEY CONFIRMED IT!
	10:10am Lewis: swingin' neck breakers...
	♥ 10:10am Whosondephone: Don't forget about all of the other Jersies in the world
	10:10am βrian: The year ov ze minky, according to inspector Clouseau.
	10:10am Stashu: It's also the Year of the ABBA
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Thanks, all you monkeys!
	10:11am Chris from DC: Det är året för apan
	10:13am Chris from DC: Year of the Monkey, for Anni-Frid
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Monkey pile on Joe!
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Stashu: But EVERY year is the year of the ABBA!
	10:16am Cecile: oh got it!
	♥ 10:16am Guido from Cologne: Wickipedia about the Pink Floy Cirrus Minor birds: The opening birdsong is from a 1961 recording entitled "Dawn Chorus" and the single bird featured over the organ part is a nightingale also from 1961. Both featured on an HMV sound effects single (together with a recording of owls) but presumably the band just borrowed the originals from the EMI sound effects library as EMI owned HMV.
	10:17am northguineahills: huh, Dean Wareham, good to seem him around again w/ Britta (is that his wife?, the same one he did Cagney and Lacey w/?)
	♥ 10:18am Ike: Is this where we gripe about the PATH train not running between Newark and Jersey City? NJ Transit can clear all its tracks but the the Port Authority can't do a couple of miles. The PA, those jokers. What a bunch of jokers.
	♥ 10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Joe & all! Awesome blizzard weekend, but it's gonna be a long, slushy week…
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @ngh: Yes, she's his wife and music partner. They were both on Morricone Island talking about this soundtrack a little while ago...
	♥ 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: @Cecile - There's an owl egg as of Saturday. www.hdontap.com...
	10:21am Cecile: hurrah! I see mom keeping it warm.
	10:21am KP: Good morning world and Joe McGasko!
	10:22am Cecile: Oh! mom is so beautiful!
	10:22am bobdoesthings: hi.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: G'morning Greg, KP, Brendan, Ear Hammer, Cecile, Ike, Chris, Brian, Lewis, bdt!
	♥ 10:24am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	10:24am Parq: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	10:25am Cecile: damn. love that 270 degree head rotation.
	10:25am Stashu: I agree that every year is the year of the ABBA. Every day and second and breath is the moment of the ABBA. Have I gone too far now?
	10:26am Cecile: not if you really like Abba.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Hey Brian, hey Parq!
	♥ 10:28am Guido from Cologne: .... all lyrics written in a-b-b-a rhyme scheme on a melody that goes A, B, B, A as part of a song written in an a-b-b-a song scheme!
	10:29am Kurt Gottschalk: pics or it didn't happen
	10:29am Adam from Philly: This is the REAL news.
	10:30am Cecile: you just did.
	♥ 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: @Guido - Like this? New York had some snow. We wait for the train. It is such a pain. Lucky thing we have Joe!
	10:33am Cecile: please do! I don't think the Day After was covered that much.
	10:35am Chris from DC: Interesting, never heard of this.
	♥ 10:36am Guido from Cologne: @Ken Perfect!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @Chris: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Nice poem, Ken! :)
	10:37am bobdoesthings: that poem is in ABBA format.
	10:37am Frank's Brain: Be Bop Deluxe is the shiznit!
	♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: @Ken is that a quatrain?
	10:37am bobdoesthings: which was already stated. nevermind me .
	10:38am Matt Warwick: Wow. Did not know this existed
	♥ 10:38am Guido from Cologne: Looks like a relation to Syd Barrett's "Arnold Layne" actually: www.davidbowie.com...
	♥ 10:39am Ken From Hyde Park: @Brian - The Astral Train.
	10:39am SeanG: first heard these on the rykodisc reissues--good stuff
	10:40am Dean: At least one ABBA video depicts the women in the band walking through heavy snow. "Knowing You, Knowing Me." Wrong rhyme scheme, though.
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: @Sean G: I think the only difference is that they left the beginning talkback off the reissue for some reason.
	♥ 10:44am Guido from Cologne: love this
	10:46am (Eyepatch) Fox: You might be the only WFMU DJ I've ever heard say "too much saxophone"
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @(Eyepatch): Ha! To me, clavinet vs. saxophone is no contest. But there is SOME sax on it.
	10:47am Dave B.: Greetings from 35000 feet above Nebraska. JetBlue with the wifi win
	10:48am Brendan: I like this music
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Dave B: Hello you, up in the clouds!
	10:50am Cecile: wow, echo and the bunnymen's original label. Did they turn into The Chameleons?
	10:52am Chris from DC: That was great.
	10:52am (Eyepatch) Fox: Joe: My boyfriend spent a lot of time in jazz clubs growing up. As a result, he can't take the jazz squeak sound of sax. Whenever I turn on the radio, we see how long we can go before that fusion jazz squeaking happens.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't think so. I know Lori was a student at Liverpool art college. One of the other guys was in The Teardrop Explodes.
	10:53am PKNY: Digging the keys on this Brenda Duff, and those drums are nice and crispy!
	10:55am MattBelow: Hey Joe et all! Website seems to be acting up so I am using the trusty app!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Matt: Uh-oh! I hope the postal truck didn't mess up the Internet!
	10:58am braveness23: @Fox - I'm allergic to the squealy saxophone too and I am a saxophonist. I call it SNL Saxophone. It has put some otherwise great music (i.e. Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc.) off limits for me.
	11:01am Grok-o-matic: Ahh, Mondays mornings on WFMU. Always the best.
	11:01am Cecile: I don't mind a gritty growly saxophone. Slick saxophone is iffy for me, though.
	11:01am Brendan: I'm allergic to Dave Koz, no reason , just cause
	♥ 11:01am nickybones: Great tune! I think it was on an efd marathon comp a couple years ago, too.
	♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: In and around Greg Lake?
	11:03am Cecile: where was it a big hit?
	11:04am KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from the snow free zone. If that truck did mess up the internets, I' m sure the USPS would consider that payback for it taking away half their busines.
	11:05am Cecile: ah, in the UK. It looks like an early Alan Parsons production project.
	11:08am Cecile: are you sure they aren't the Fountains of Wayne?
	11:09am Heather F in Italy: Hey Joe! Turned on fmu and was happy to hear your voice. <3 from Rome
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: Heather! Wow, so nice to see you! I hope Roma is snow-free~! :)
	11:10am bobdoesthings: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:10am doctorjazz: Love this song (Mary-Anne), has been in the rotation at FMU, got the album.
	11:11am KP: Defeaning Colors sound cool!
	11:12am Bob Knight: Just letting you know I am in a bad mood.
	11:12am Grok-o-matic: Diggin this track
	♥ 11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is a good one. (Sounds like me in band I was in: gotta get my wah-wah into the mix of the ketchy song somehow - haha...)
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: Sorry to hear that, Bob!
	11:15am Heather F in Italy: It is and you're always welcome
	11:15am bobdoesthings: @bobknight - I am in a great mood. Together we are a neutral Bob.
	♥ 11:16am Stevel: Bob Knight: Hey, try to relax! Let me find you a chair...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @HeatherF: Big :) to you!
	11:18am annie: i thought i was the only one who hated squeaky saxophones..
	♥ 11:18am Stevel: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...good songs, melodies, good players, singers, energy - ✔,✔,✔...
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @RR63: Believe it or not, this was their very first time playing live as a unit for the public. Cris and John are bedroom recordists and this is their live debut with a rhythm section.
	♥ 11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow! It's PowerPop w/out the edges polished off - way kewl...
	♥ 11:21am Mike East: oh, this is live...cool. Sounds great!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Well, I should say this was the first live performance of this version of the band. They have played live in the past in different configurations.
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: That explains the lo fi/hi fi sounds on the cd...
	11:26am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and acolytes. Ready to start another crappy Monday.
	11:26am Cecile: They are good. I am just not in the mood for major chords right this second. That's what going to the copy machine is for.
	11:30am Chris from DC: Liking "Jerry Ryan" here a lot.
	11:33am Cecile: I'm sorry, Carm.
	11:35am Carmichael: Not to worry, Cecile. I will eventually get the funk outta my face, get the funk outta my face.
	11:39am Cecile: Sounds like being from Michigan.
	11:47am Bill in W.O.: Cool band, buying the catalog on bandcamp. Thanks, Joe.
	11:47am Cheri Pi: THE KIDS HAVE IT.
	♥ 11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Feeling this! Missed the whole set because work, but I'm def gonna go back and check it out.
	11:48am Cecile: with the name of their album, I'm expecting a crank call in there.
	11:49am MattBelow: Nice having my morning cuppa with Joe on the dials.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Thanks, MattBelow!
	11:54am Cecile: this makes Deafening Colors sound like Bathory.
	11:54am drewo: Love my morning Joe! This new EF is pop-solid.
	11:55am John from The Deafening Colors: Thanks Joe and thanks everyone for listening!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks much, drewo! And thanks everyone for listening and commenting today. Have a great week! Hope you all get dug out soon!
	11:56am Cecile: wow it's 11. For all my complaints, a great show as usual.
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Time flies! Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am βrian: The Magic Hour, with Jeff G, coming up: wfmu.org...

	9:27am redkayak: Good morning all. Hope all are well out east!
	9:30am northguineahills: Wow, a new Tortoise, and w/ vocals! (by Georgia!)
	♥ 9:30am melinda: Good morning! Liked the Tindersticks.
	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: Morning, pierre, redkayak, ngh, and melinda! There's some very nice things on the new album, melinda!
	9:33am the sugarwolf: hello!
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Hi, The Sugarwolf! Welcome.
	9:39am (Eyepatch) Fox: I find it really weird to be awake this early.
	9:40am V Priceless: Roxy / Be Bop combo - nice!
	9:40am SueAdynamo: i thought u were going to play Floyd from those bird calls.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Sue: Ah, I think it's probably those same birds! Everyone in England seemed to use the same sound effects record.
	9:46am Brendan: Good morning folks
	♥ 9:46am tadpoles: Yoko also used those same birds on one of her tracks. Can't recall the title off the top of my head. Great to hear Be Bop.
	♥ 9:50am Guido from Cologne: True: Floyd Cirrus Minor Birds on Be Bop Deluxe track There is/was the EMI Sound-library (that also served the "No. nine" announcement on Beatles "Revolution No. 9")
	♥ 9:50am Guido from Cologne: I still go for the car-crash sound effects show! :-)
	9:51am Cheri Pi: wow this is cool
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& one version (the earlier?) of 'Across the Universe' uses them birds I believe...
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @Guido: Sheila B. wants me to take that on. I'm going to give it a shot one of these days!
	♥ 9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'End of the Season' by TheKinks (same birds)?...
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: RR63: I think they may be, but they're really amped up if they are!
	9:55am V Priceless: Way to glam it up, Joe! Woo!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: @JOE Remember my "hausputz-collection for Meghan? CD2 contains a track by girl singer Valerie Pascal containing the effect. If you don't find it give me a note and I'll send it again.
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Guido: Of course I remember it, Guido! I made copies for myself. Thanks for the reminder!
	9:58am Cecile: you should play "Glamor Boy" by the Guess Who. It's an angry swipe at Mott the Hoople for getting a huge signing bonus at the time.
	10:00am the sugarwolf: Taking Sides: Frida vs Barbra vs Jessica Lange.....
	10:00am Matt Warwick: Morning joe!!!
	10:00am Guy Walker: If you gonna do it Whizz Kidz, you gotta add the little lite part at the end!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Forgive me, Guy, I know not what I do.
	10:01am pavlov's listener: BIRDS! I checked my watch for the day date - is today Tuesday? Did Trouble slide down the hill for a fill in?
	10:02am Cecile: sugarwolf, I love your icon.
	10:02am βrian: Ah, the Aisle Seven Waltz. I love this bed music.
	♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh yeah, Anni-Frid from ABBA...of course!
	10:02am Brendan: It still sneaks up on me the depth of Bowie 's loss on me. Almost like an expanding universe. Sad, melancholy, but with a wistful smile and all the better for having had him on this planet.
	♥ 10:03am Marcel M: Oh man.. making a lasagna while snowed in... that sounds amazing. I think I'd eat it in a day!
	♥ 10:04am CHRIStafariRI: Frida nailed it. She's definitely the first A in ABBA
	10:04am the sugarwolf: @Cecile: Thanks!! my friend made it for me because we love M.E. Rodgers and the deal with it dog.
	10:04am Ear Hammer: Lasagna is one serving and one serving only and that is an entire lasagna.
	10:05am Cecile: the deal with it dog?
	10:05am βrian: GOP talking point: "I'm not a meteorologist, but I think this snow storm theory is a hoax."
	10:06am the sugarwolf: @Cecile: gifgarage.blogspot.com...
	10:06am Kurt Gottschalk: i didn't know that.
	10:06am annie: i had a frozen pizza dough in the fridge and made one with armageddon food from the cupboards and fridge: canned chili, local sausage, sauteed spinach, and sliced muenster from the store up the street. DE-licious!!!
	10:07am annie: oh... and.... cecile!!
	10:07am the sugarwolf: oops, I almost filled out my return address on envelope as Sugar Wolf, NY, don't post and pay bills at the same time....
	10:08am P-90: I LOVE Be Bop Deluxe too, Joe!
	10:08am the sugarwolf: it's the year of the monkey, I think??
	10:08am Brendan: Monkey
	10:08am Ear Hammer: It's the year of the monkey!
	♥ 10:09am Guido from Cologne: Frankie?
	10:09am Brendan: Don't you you know you gotta shock the monkey
	10:09am Stashu: IT IS THE YEAR OF THE MONKEY. THE MONKEY CONFIRMED IT!
	10:10am Lewis: swingin' neck breakers...
	♥ 10:10am Whosondephone: Don't forget about all of the other Jersies in the world
	10:10am βrian: The year ov ze minky, according to inspector Clouseau.
	10:10am Stashu: It's also the Year of the ABBA
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Thanks, all you monkeys!
	10:11am Chris from DC: Det är året för apan
	10:13am Chris from DC: Year of the Monkey, for Anni-Frid
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Monkey pile on Joe!
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Stashu: But EVERY year is the year of the ABBA!
	10:16am Cecile: oh got it!
	♥ 10:16am Guido from Cologne: Wickipedia about the Pink Floy Cirrus Minor birds: The opening birdsong is from a 1961 recording entitled "Dawn Chorus" and the single bird featured over the organ part is a nightingale also from 1961. Both featured on an HMV sound effects single (together with a recording of owls) but presumably the band just borrowed the originals from the EMI sound effects library as EMI owned HMV.
	10:17am northguineahills: huh, Dean Wareham, good to seem him around again w/ Britta (is that his wife?, the same one he did Cagney and Lacey w/?)
	♥ 10:18am Ike: Is this where we gripe about the PATH train not running between Newark and Jersey City? NJ Transit can clear all its tracks but the the Port Authority can't do a couple of miles. The PA, those jokers. What a bunch of jokers.
	♥ 10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Joe & all! Awesome blizzard weekend, but it's gonna be a long, slushy week…
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @ngh: Yes, she's his wife and music partner. They were both on Morricone Island talking about this soundtrack a little while ago...
	♥ 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: @Cecile - There's an owl egg as of Saturday. www.hdontap.com...
	10:21am Cecile: hurrah! I see mom keeping it warm.
	10:21am KP: Good morning world and Joe McGasko!
	10:22am Cecile: Oh! mom is so beautiful!
	10:22am bobdoesthings: hi.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: G'morning Greg, KP, Brendan, Ear Hammer, Cecile, Ike, Chris, Brian, Lewis, bdt!
	♥ 10:24am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	10:24am Parq: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	10:25am Cecile: damn. love that 270 degree head rotation.
	10:25am Stashu: I agree that every year is the year of the ABBA. Every day and second and breath is the moment of the ABBA. Have I gone too far now?
	10:26am Cecile: not if you really like Abba.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Hey Brian, hey Parq!
	♥ 10:28am Guido from Cologne: .... all lyrics written in a-b-b-a rhyme scheme on a melody that goes A, B, B, A as part of a song written in an a-b-b-a song scheme!
	10:29am Kurt Gottschalk: pics or it didn't happen
	10:29am Adam from Philly: This is the REAL news.
	10:30am Cecile: you just did.
	♥ 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: @Guido - Like this? New York had some snow. We wait for the train. It is such a pain. Lucky thing we have Joe!
	10:33am Cecile: please do! I don't think the Day After was covered that much.
	10:35am Chris from DC: Interesting, never heard of this.
	♥ 10:36am Guido from Cologne: @Ken Perfect!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @Chris: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Nice poem, Ken! :)
	10:37am bobdoesthings: that poem is in ABBA format.
	10:37am Frank's Brain: Be Bop Deluxe is the shiznit!
	♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: @Ken is that a quatrain?
	10:37am bobdoesthings: which was already stated. nevermind me .
	10:38am Matt Warwick: Wow. Did not know this existed
	♥ 10:38am Guido from Cologne: Looks like a relation to Syd Barrett's "Arnold Layne" actually: www.davidbowie.com...
	♥ 10:39am Ken From Hyde Park: @Brian - The Astral Train.
	10:39am SeanG: first heard these on the rykodisc reissues--good stuff
	10:40am Dean: At least one ABBA video depicts the women in the band walking through heavy snow. "Knowing You, Knowing Me." Wrong rhyme scheme, though.
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: @Sean G: I think the only difference is that they left the beginning talkback off the reissue for some reason.
	♥ 10:44am Guido from Cologne: love this
	10:46am (Eyepatch) Fox: You might be the only WFMU DJ I've ever heard say "too much saxophone"
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @(Eyepatch): Ha! To me, clavinet vs. saxophone is no contest. But there is SOME sax on it.
	10:47am Dave B.: Greetings from 35000 feet above Nebraska. JetBlue with the wifi win
	10:48am Brendan: I like this music
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Dave B: Hello you, up in the clouds!
	10:50am Cecile: wow, echo and the bunnymen's original label. Did they turn into The Chameleons?
	10:52am Chris from DC: That was great.
	10:52am (Eyepatch) Fox: Joe: My boyfriend spent a lot of time in jazz clubs growing up. As a result, he can't take the jazz squeak sound of sax. Whenever I turn on the radio, we see how long we can go before that fusion jazz squeaking happens.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't think so. I know Lori was a student at Liverpool art college. One of the other guys was in The Teardrop Explodes.
	10:53am PKNY: Digging the keys on this Brenda Duff, and those drums are nice and crispy!
	10:55am MattBelow: Hey Joe et all! Website seems to be acting up so I am using the trusty app!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Matt: Uh-oh! I hope the postal truck didn't mess up the Internet!
	10:58am braveness23: @Fox - I'm allergic to the squealy saxophone too and I am a saxophonist. I call it SNL Saxophone. It has put some otherwise great music (i.e. Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc.) off limits for me.
	11:01am Grok-o-matic: Ahh, Mondays mornings on WFMU. Always the best.
	11:01am Cecile: I don't mind a gritty growly saxophone. Slick saxophone is iffy for me, though.
	11:01am Brendan: I'm allergic to Dave Koz, no reason , just cause
	♥ 11:01am nickybones: Great tune! I think it was on an efd marathon comp a couple years ago, too.
	♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: In and around Greg Lake?
	11:03am Cecile: where was it a big hit?
	11:04am KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from the snow free zone. If that truck did mess up the internets, I' m sure the USPS would consider that payback for it taking away half their busines.
	11:05am Cecile: ah, in the UK. It looks like an early Alan Parsons production project.
	11:08am Cecile: are you sure they aren't the Fountains of Wayne?
	11:09am Heather F in Italy: Hey Joe! Turned on fmu and was happy to hear your voice. <3 from Rome
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: Heather! Wow, so nice to see you! I hope Roma is snow-free~! :)
	11:10am bobdoesthings: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:10am doctorjazz: Love this song (Mary-Anne), has been in the rotation at FMU, got the album.
	11:11am KP: Defeaning Colors sound cool!
	11:12am Bob Knight: Just letting you know I am in a bad mood.
	11:12am Grok-o-matic: Diggin this track
	♥ 11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It is a good one. (Sounds like me in band I was in: gotta get my wah-wah into the mix of the ketchy song somehow - haha...)
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: Sorry to hear that, Bob!
	11:15am Heather F in Italy: It is and you're always welcome
	11:15am bobdoesthings: @bobknight - I am in a great mood. Together we are a neutral Bob.
	♥ 11:16am Stevel: Bob Knight: Hey, try to relax! Let me find you a chair...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @HeatherF: Big :) to you!
	11:18am annie: i thought i was the only one who hated squeaky saxophones..
	♥ 11:18am Stevel: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...good songs, melodies, good players, singers, energy - ✔,✔,✔...
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @RR63: Believe it or not, this was their very first time playing live as a unit for the public. Cris and John are bedroom recordists and this is their live debut with a rhythm section.
	♥ 11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow! It's PowerPop w/out the edges polished off - way kewl...
	♥ 11:21am Mike East: oh, this is live...cool. Sounds great!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Well, I should say this was the first live performance of this version of the band. They have played live in the past in different configurations.
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: That explains the lo fi/hi fi sounds on the cd...
	11:26am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and acolytes. Ready to start another crappy Monday.
	11:26am Cecile: They are good. I am just not in the mood for major chords right this second. That's what going to the copy machine is for.
	11:30am Chris from DC: Liking "Jerry Ryan" here a lot.
	11:33am Cecile: I'm sorry, Carm.
	11:35am Carmichael: Not to worry, Cecile. I will eventually get the funk outta my face, get the funk outta my face.
	11:39am Cecile: Sounds like being from Michigan.
	11:47am Bill in W.O.: Cool band, buying the catalog on bandcamp. Thanks, Joe.
	11:47am Cheri Pi: THE KIDS HAVE IT.
	♥ 11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Feeling this! Missed the whole set because work, but I'm def gonna go back and check it out.
	11:48am Cecile: with the name of their album, I'm expecting a crank call in there.
	11:49am MattBelow: Nice having my morning cuppa with Joe on the dials.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Thanks, MattBelow!
	11:54am Cecile: this makes Deafening Colors sound like Bathory.
	11:54am drewo: Love my morning Joe! This new EF is pop-solid.
	11:55am John from The Deafening Colors: Thanks Joe and thanks everyone for listening!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks much, drewo! And thanks everyone for listening and commenting today. Have a great week! Hope you all get dug out soon!
	11:56am Cecile: wow it's 11. For all my complaints, a great show as usual.
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Time flies! Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am βrian: The Magic Hour, with Jeff G, coming up: wfmu.org...
