	9:08am annie: good morning all!!
	9:10am pierre: Bonjour Joe ! ça va ?
	♥ 9:10am pantz: Call me a hippie, but in dark times such as these it's the simple pleasures I like to recognize: family, friends, black coffee and good music.
	9:11am mr_donutsu: This is amazing!
	♥ 9:12am medson: @pantz right on
	♥ 9:14am Dominick: Great to hear Sandy Bull
	♥ 9:15am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone--thanks for coming! @pierre: Ça va bien. @Paul: It's from "Sesame Street," my go-to for all things vital.
	9:17am Rich in NC: good morning all------hello Joe
	9:18am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Mr. Joe and all. Enjoy this time-change Monday a.m. while it's fresh, next week it will seem normal again.
	9:19am annie: i like normal...it was nice to look out the morning sky and see a shade of dawn..
	9:19am pierre: very nice piece of guitar… Coming next week to NYC, do you know if there is any place I could hear this kind of music ?
	♥ 9:21am cosmic matrix: Wow, that drummer has RESTRAINT.
	♥ 9:22am coelacanth∅: good morning Joe and hello all
	9:23am βrian: A lovely entrée, Joe.
	♥ 9:24am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe, McGaskoes. How about Gitarzan, as a palate cleanser?
	♥ 9:27am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Sem, Lemon Sorbet for me.
	9:27am Toothgrinder Tom: Pretty guitar music this a.m. perfect for a damp and gray morning in Fall.
	♥ 9:27am steveo: Good morning Joe & all. Yes, it finally feels like fall now; at least the trees seem to think so.
	9:28am SeanG: summertime is just around the corner!
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: This is very early Strawbs, almost Strawberry Hill Mob.
	♥ 9:29am pantz: Did anyone happen to see the interview with Art Garfunkel on CBS Sunday Morning? This folksy music made me think of it. The poor guy has completely lost his singing voice yet he just went on tour. It was kinda sad.
	♥ 9:32am ChrisVB: He was unrecognizable.
	9:32am Dennis Diken: love that Ranny Sinclair track!
	9:33am Davee: HI Joe!!!
	9:33am Paul In Bloomfield: @annie thanks!!
	♥ 9:33am pantz: Yes, @ChrisVB. I believe dementia is setting in but no one has the guts to tell him.
	9:33am annie: :)
	9:34am Paul In Bloomfield: Morning everybody!
	9:34am Davee: Morning PIB!
	9:35am Paul In Bloomfield: nice piano here
	♥ 9:35am Mick: Good morning and happy Monday! Just got chewed out at work for the music being too loud - guess I thought I could get away with turning up the volume on these chill autumn tunes a bit. So be it.
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @pierre: I'm not sure! But I can check the listings for you! @cosmic: Billy Higgins at work! @Dennis: I love that whole album!
	9:36am krampusrex: how am i supposed to wake up when you play this?
	♥ 9:37am cosmic matrix: Thanks for turning me on to Higgins! And nice mix this morn.
	9:38am peter shortall: Wow - you're killing it today Joe. Keep those grooves comin!!!!
	♥ 9:38am Krys O.: Nice selections. I really liked the Gareth Sager piece. He's Mr. Rip Rig n Panic, etc.
	♥ 9:41am steveo: What is the canonical place for NYC live music listings these days? Is there one?
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @krampus: Sorry, Krampus, it will pick up and some point! Hey, Krys O! Thanks, Peter and cosmic.
	9:43am annie: sadly, steveo, NOT the Voice.... the New Yorker maybe?
	9:43am Itzall Ablurr: Mystery Train. Such a great movie.
	♥ 9:44am Krys O.: This Presley reminds me of Plunderphonics. Don't...don't....ddddddon't.
	9:44am Vincent Nifigance: @Itzall Ablurr My thoughts exactly. That dozy hotel...
	9:44am Itzall Ablurr: Tom Waits, the unseen dj.
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: @Itzall Or An American Werewolf in London-- very different, but also great.
	♥ 9:45am Dominick: @steveo www.ohmyrockness.com
	9:45am annie: this just makes me sigh...
	9:45am b: Wait wait Sachiko Kanenobu is on the show next week!?! Yay!
	♥ 9:45am Matt Fiveash: Hey Joe! Did this Elvis thing come into the new bin?
	9:45am pierre: and Joe, I was willing to ask, is there a easier, more convenient time or day to come and visit the radio, and is it even possible ?!
	9:46am Itzall Ablurr: The Oscar, I don't recall that from American Werewolf, I just remember the C.C.R. "Bad Moon Risin'". Was it really used?
	♥ 9:47am The Oscar: @Itzall Been a few years, but IIRC it's over the opening credits. Also "Moondance," "Moon Shadow," etc...
	♥ 9:48am Sem Chumbo: www.imdb.com...
	♥ 9:48am steveo: Excellent @Dominick; that looks quite comprehensive / has some small venues in my neighborhood. Thanks!
	♥ 9:49am Brian in UK: Elvis had four mothers?
	♥ 9:52am Brian in UK: @Sem there is a pub called the Slaughtered Lamb in London where I believe some of that film was made. In the basement is a cozy little folkish club. www.theslaughteredlambpub.com
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: The Oscar, it's time for me to re-watch that movie! It was a "date night" movie for me and my wife when it came out in the early 80s, so it HAS been a while!
	9:53am Vincent Nifigance: Elvis was..."America's first private owner of a prototype VCR. Unfortunately, it was the soon-to-be-defunct Betamax." Awesome!
	9:55am Paul In Bloomfield: who is this background music again? i missed it
	♥ 9:56am Passaic River Blues: @Paul: Art Van Damme.
	♥ 9:57am MD: Good Morning all...Keepin' it real in da field I hope!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @mattfiveash: Yes, sir, in the new bin for a few weeks now!
	♥ 9:59am Sem Chumbo: Brian: those pictures of the joint are pretty great, I want to recall the scenes filmed there, but nothing of it stuck. Like the lay-out.
	10:00am Wild Neil: PEACE all. Well, our water heater took a crap it is only time before it DIES.
	10:01am Paul In Bloomfield: @passaic river blues thanks!
	10:01am Wild Neil: The County Liners are cool! I LIKE THIS and STARRED IT.
	10:02am Paul In Bloomfield: jeez... im encountering so much new cool music on this station I can hardly keep up...
	10:02am Paul In Bloomfield: @wild neil starred it as well
	10:03am annie: @Paul: there is a little star by the title of each track, click away!!
	♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: ONLY $9,173 to go.
	♥ 10:05am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:06am Davee: Holiday ghosts . . . great track.
	♥ 10:06am medson: this holiday ghosts always my toes tapping
	10:06am Paul In Bloomfield: @annie i have been! I also add band names to a checklist app. I emailed my starred list to myself last week and it was huge! dont have time to go back and check them all out
	10:06am Paul In Bloomfield: did anyone else think this was Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam before the vocals?
	10:07am annie: hehe paul, that's great!! i just peek at my list now and then. in a time of boredom i may create a musical list on YT... or not..a dedicated FMU playlist, what a concept.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Paul: Right on the money, Paul!
	♥ 10:09am ChrisB.: The fact that these last four tracks are from 2017 gives me hope for the future.
	♥ 10:10am pantz: This has a Jessica Lee Mayfield sound to it.
	10:11am Paul In Bloomfield: @Joe McG indeed sir!
	10:13am Paul In Bloomfield: @annie thats a good idea about YT playlists. spotify works too. but both of those options have crappy ads :(
	10:13am Wild Neil: Hey, what are Velvet Crush up to? They were big back in 94...
	10:14am annie: yes.... they do..i have issues with firefox, though, this version hates video and music. i have to shut down tabs just to play tunes or chat here..
	10:15am Paul In Bloomfield: ouch that stinks about firefox. safari gives me no issue for chat. i listen via iTunes
	10:17am annie: rumour has it a whole new FF is reading to launch....
	10:19am Sean B.: Dang! @Joe_McG your playing some choice stuff bud. Nice. Thanx!.
	10:19am Balls_Benedict: Chris is on to something. Run with it!
	10:20am BronwynB: good morning joe and everyone!
	10:30am Schnipp: Duh-LAY-nee
	10:31am ?: Stories Joe! Give us the dirt on Delaney
	10:31am KP: I fixed the internet!
	10:32am SeanG: happy birthday Doug! thanks Joe
	10:33am annie: @ schnipp: i thought i was the only one who heard that wrong.. unless joe knows something we don't..
	♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Aw, man, Doug Sahm. Yes!
	♥ 10:34am pantz: It's about someone did @KP!
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: If Jac Holtzmann had trouble with Delaney Bramlett it must be bad given that he had Jim Morrison on the label.
	10:35am Davee: Singles going 1/2 an hour
	10:37am KP: Funky but Grand
	♥ 10:37am Sem Chumbo: I love the idea that it was called the Sir Douglas Quintet because they wanted to cash in on the English invasion.
	10:38am Davee: Loco-lotion
	10:38am Schnipp: @annie — the first time I thought I misheard. The second time I knew it was intentional. Good thing Joe’s such a good guy. I think he’s too young!
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Brian: He said in his book that Delaney was the worst artist he had to deal with in all his years at Elektra.
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: JH "Something about Delaney made me itch"
	10:40am Davee: Reggae - ahhhhhh
	10:42am nickrhombi: masterful engineering job on locomotion. that slap back delay on the vocal, the over driven bass... probably one of farners best solos out of a caree of great solos. - studio magic there. what were those effects?!? (guessing clay is still in studio...)
	10:51am KP: I sat at table next to Delaney's at My Father Place after she opened for EmmyLou. She was so loud, drunk and abusive - this was front row - during EmmyLou's set every started yelling at her to leave. She did with one last loud comment directed at EmmyLou, one i cannot repeat here due to FCC regulations.
	10:51am Schnipp: How can this not be Dionne Warwick? New Jersey’s own!
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @KP: Do you mean Bonnie Bramlett?
	♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: It is an afternoon for crumpets and hot chocolate.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: And how about this 80s drum sound on the X record, huh? Wowzer.
	10:55am Davee: Over the top . . . .
	♥ 10:56am Rich in Washington: X's production was all over the map throughout the 80s. Just recently revisited Under The Big Black Sun and still cannot warm to it.
	♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Clive Davis signed them up for a six record deal at $1m. They split up so they had to make six EACH.
	♥ 10:57am pantz: Def has a Jefferson Starship feeling to it
	♥ 10:57am Hughie Considine: But they really jumped the shark w. Aint Love Grand.
	10:57am Davee: glad that is over
	♥ 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe "$9,003 To Go" McGasko.
	10:58am Davee: DEVO style here, a little....
	10:58am Wild Neil: Yachts is so 80's sounding like Gary Numan. And its from 1979! Also, a bit like the Tubes, remember THEM? White Punks on Dope!
	10:59am Schnipp: Great power pop here. Have a friend who can’t stop raving about the underappreciated Scruffs, with or w/o Alex Chilton.
	10:59am KP: Yes, Bramlett.
	10:59am rw: Hello! I always wonder exactly how it is that someone becomes the yachting type.
	♥ 10:59am Rich in Washington: This band's name is actually pronounced Throat Wobbler Mangrove.
	11:00am Davee: @ Rich - very good!
	♥ 11:00am ChrisB.: Love that little yelp at the end.
	♥ 11:00am tadpoles: Yachts I think were one of those post-Mod bands in the wake of the Jam. The Lurkers also come to mind.
	♥ 11:01am Rich in Washington: rw: boating's fun, but even a small boat can be expensive. I would imagine, from the few yacht owners I personally know, it's the prestige of being a rich asshole who can hang out with other rich assholes and measure each other's yachts.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Yacht is a Dutch word?
	11:02am Davee: How long is it?
	♥ 11:02am Rich in Washington: one yacht owner I know doesn't even do anything with his yacht other than pay moorage but hobnobs with the other yacht club members much more than doing any sailing.
	11:02am Wild Neil: @rw-I know a lady that did not make a lot of money but she LOVED sailing so she found a way to get on yacht crews...I guess you just to to the yacht club, buy drinks and ask around? Its NOT All rich assholes...also they had a free program for youths teaching them to sail tiny sunfish. So not ALL stereotypes are true!
	11:03am annie: manfredgensen; sorry every once in a while i have to spit that out.
	11:03am Wild Neil: Yachts got a clickey star for that cool prog rock/pop rock sound!
	♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: @annie like a fur ball?
	11:05am miles: Blondie also did California Sun
	11:06am Wild Neil: But yeah, " a boat is a hole in the water were you throw all your money."My brother had a 32 foot boat for awhile, had to sell it, so damn expensive just to HAVE much less to SAIL.
	11:07am Parq: I wonder what Carole King thought about Grand Funk's version of "Loco Motion". Whatever, I'm sure getting royalty checks with the song back on the charts made her feel better about the whole thing.
	11:08am annie: @Brian/UK: it's one of those tongue twisters i have say out loud, so when it comes back around on the guitar, i can be ready. i have almost that whole scene memorized.
	11:09am miles: they did it live I believe & perhaps on that "picture this live" CD
	♥ 11:10am medson: I already hear all those things you described
	11:12am miles: now I'm doubting myself. I couldn't possibly be confusing it with "in the sun"? jeezers
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: That's OK, Miles, it's possible they did it live. But I don't think they ever recorded it in the studio.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: Official Web site for Ikebe Shakedown: ikebeshakedown.com
	♥ 11:14am medson: This sounds amazing
	11:16am queems: this is really awesome
	11:16am miles: haven't had coffee yet. I think I layed egg here ..there is however a cool 60s garage cover of it somewhere . I think I got my que tangled up with my laundry list or something
	11:16am Wild Neil: Clicky starred the one I did't hear also. African jazz?
	11:18am Davee: These guys sound amazzzzing!
	11:18am KP: I had a boat but when it became a pain donated it to the blind.
	♥ 11:18am Passaic River Blues: Haven't thought about these guys since their self-titled six or seven years ago. Really astute choice to bring them in, Joe, as they are an absurdly talented group. As queems said, this IS really awesome.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: It took them a long time to make their latest LP, but the wait was worth it, it's real good!
	11:20am miles: 60s garage rockers The Iguanas . yeah they do a cool cover of California Sun
	♥ 11:21am Greg from ZONE 5: My brother just saw IS and hasn't stopped talking about it for weeks. btw, this sounds PHENOMENAL. Big up, Mario!
	11:22am Paul In Bloomfield: This is awesome
	11:22am Parq: What everyone else said. This is killer.
	11:22am Paul In Bloomfield: And another band goes on my must-check-out list
	11:23am Paul In Bloomfield: Its like surf and ska had a baby
	11:24am queems: i'm working on something really hard at work and music with no words is really helping me right now
	♥ 11:24am Mark Hurst: Loving this set!
	♥ 11:24am medson: I wasn't aware of these guys, thanks for putting them on my radar Joe. Another band I like although different from these guys incorporates Afro Beat. Here Lies Man is the name of that band for those who might wanna check it out
	♥ 11:25am Mick: SO good - thanks for bringing them in!
	11:26am rbx: the engineering on this set is fantastic as well, kudos!
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @rbx: That's our man, Mario! He's the best.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: He took the picture, too, as if he didn't have enough to do!
	11:29am melinda: Great sounds.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Sorry I haven't been commenting, I've been dancin'!
	11:34am Schnipp: Lotta dancing going on this whole show. Unsure where it began, but it was early. “Where words fail, music speaks.” — Hans Christian Anderson
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: I like the quotation, Schnipp! Glad you've had fun!
	11:47am annie: my dancing days are done, but, man, can i kick it up in my mind!
	♥ 11:49am Passaic River Blues: On the FMA? Nice!
	11:52am annie: Joe, just for the record, i'm voting for the fall "silent marathon" to go live. i think you'll have much better results. my 2 cents..
	♥ 11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: File under: Songs I will never, ever tire of.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: We have a winner! Thanks for playing!
	11:55am Parq: Everyone's a winner on this show. Corny, I know, but true.
	♥ 11:55am Sem Chumbo: Been large fun, Joe. Thanks, and see you next time.
	♥ 11:56am Krys O.: Even a Muzak version of Sooner or Later could get me dancing.
	11:56am ?: Sooner/Later sounds a little off from what I remember - Is your turntable slow, or was mine too fast back in the day? (I'm guessing the latter.)
	♥ 11:56am Krys O.: SAVE it for later! Sheesh, I need lunch.
	♥ 11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! See you next week with Sachiko Kanenobu!
	11:58am rbx: thanks joe!
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Gesundheit!
	♥ 12:00pm Stevel: Great show, as always! Thanks Joe McG! On to Joe B!
	♥ 12:01pm 12539: Thanks Joe!

	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: This is very early Strawbs, almost Strawberry Hill Mob.
	♥ 9:29am pantz: Did anyone happen to see the interview with Art Garfunkel on CBS Sunday Morning? This folksy music made me think of it. The poor guy has completely lost his singing voice yet he just went on tour. It was kinda sad.
	♥ 9:32am ChrisVB: He was unrecognizable.
	9:32am Dennis Diken: love that Ranny Sinclair track!
	9:33am Davee: HI Joe!!!

	9:34am Paul In Bloomfield: Morning everybody!
	9:34am Davee: Morning PIB!
	9:35am Paul In Bloomfield: nice piano here
	♥ 9:35am Mick: Good morning and happy Monday! Just got chewed out at work for the music being too loud - guess I thought I could get away with turning up the volume on these chill autumn tunes a bit. So be it.
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @pierre: I'm not sure! But I can check the listings for you! @cosmic: Billy Higgins at work! @Dennis: I love that whole album!

	9:38am peter shortall: Wow - you're killing it today Joe. Keep those grooves comin!!!!

	♥ 9:41am steveo: What is the canonical place for NYC live music listings these days? Is there one?
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @krampus: Sorry, Krampus, it will pick up and some point! Hey, Krys O! Thanks, Peter and cosmic.
	9:43am annie: sadly, steveo, NOT the Voice.... the New Yorker maybe?
	9:43am Itzall Ablurr: Mystery Train. Such a great movie.
	♥ 9:44am Krys O.: This Presley reminds me of Plunderphonics. Don't...don't....ddddddon't.
	9:44am Vincent Nifigance: @Itzall Ablurr My thoughts exactly. That dozy hotel...
	9:44am Itzall Ablurr: Tom Waits, the unseen dj.
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: @Itzall Or An American Werewolf in London-- very different, but also great.
	♥ 9:45am Dominick: @steveo www.ohmyrockness.com
	9:45am annie: this just makes me sigh...
	9:45am b: Wait wait Sachiko Kanenobu is on the show next week!?! Yay!
	♥ 9:45am Matt Fiveash: Hey Joe! Did this Elvis thing come into the new bin?
	9:45am pierre: and Joe, I was willing to ask, is there a easier, more convenient time or day to come and visit the radio, and is it even possible ?!
	9:46am Itzall Ablurr: The Oscar, I don't recall that from American Werewolf, I just remember the C.C.R. "Bad Moon Risin'". Was it really used?
	♥ 9:47am The Oscar: @Itzall Been a few years, but IIRC it's over the opening credits. Also "Moondance," "Moon Shadow," etc...
	♥ 9:48am Sem Chumbo: www.imdb.com...
	♥ 9:48am steveo: Excellent @Dominick; that looks quite comprehensive / has some small venues in my neighborhood. Thanks!
	♥ 9:49am Brian in UK: Elvis had four mothers?
	♥ 9:52am Brian in UK: @Sem there is a pub called the Slaughtered Lamb in London where I believe some of that film was made. In the basement is a cozy little folkish club. www.theslaughteredlambpub.com
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: The Oscar, it's time for me to re-watch that movie! It was a "date night" movie for me and my wife when it came out in the early 80s, so it HAS been a while!
	9:53am Vincent Nifigance: Elvis was..."America's first private owner of a prototype VCR. Unfortunately, it was the soon-to-be-defunct Betamax." Awesome!
	9:55am Paul In Bloomfield: who is this background music again? i missed it
	♥ 9:56am Passaic River Blues: @Paul: Art Van Damme.
	♥ 9:57am MD: Good Morning all...Keepin' it real in da field I hope!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @mattfiveash: Yes, sir, in the new bin for a few weeks now!
	♥ 9:59am Sem Chumbo: Brian: those pictures of the joint are pretty great, I want to recall the scenes filmed there, but nothing of it stuck. Like the lay-out.
	10:00am Wild Neil: PEACE all. Well, our water heater took a crap it is only time before it DIES.
	10:01am Paul In Bloomfield: @passaic river blues thanks!
	10:01am Wild Neil: The County Liners are cool! I LIKE THIS and STARRED IT.
	10:02am Paul In Bloomfield: jeez... im encountering so much new cool music on this station I can hardly keep up...
	10:02am Paul In Bloomfield: @wild neil starred it as well
	10:03am annie: @Paul: there is a little star by the title of each track, click away!!
	♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: ONLY $9,173 to go.
	♥ 10:05am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:06am Davee: Holiday ghosts . . . great track.
	♥ 10:06am medson: this holiday ghosts always my toes tapping
	10:06am Paul In Bloomfield: @annie i have been! I also add band names to a checklist app. I emailed my starred list to myself last week and it was huge! dont have time to go back and check them all out
	10:06am Paul In Bloomfield: did anyone else think this was Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam before the vocals?
	10:07am annie: hehe paul, that's great!! i just peek at my list now and then. in a time of boredom i may create a musical list on YT... or not..a dedicated FMU playlist, what a concept.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Paul: Right on the money, Paul!
	♥ 10:09am ChrisB.: The fact that these last four tracks are from 2017 gives me hope for the future.
	♥ 10:10am pantz: This has a Jessica Lee Mayfield sound to it.
	10:11am Paul In Bloomfield: @Joe McG indeed sir!
	10:13am Paul In Bloomfield: @annie thats a good idea about YT playlists. spotify works too. but both of those options have crappy ads :(
	10:13am Wild Neil: Hey, what are Velvet Crush up to? They were big back in 94...
	10:14am annie: yes.... they do..i have issues with firefox, though, this version hates video and music. i have to shut down tabs just to play tunes or chat here..
	10:15am Paul In Bloomfield: ouch that stinks about firefox. safari gives me no issue for chat. i listen via iTunes
	10:17am annie: rumour has it a whole new FF is reading to launch....
	10:19am Sean B.: Dang! @Joe_McG your playing some choice stuff bud. Nice. Thanx!.
	10:19am Balls_Benedict: Chris is on to something. Run with it!
	10:20am BronwynB: good morning joe and everyone!
	10:30am Schnipp: Duh-LAY-nee
	10:31am ?: Stories Joe! Give us the dirt on Delaney
	10:31am KP: I fixed the internet!
	10:32am SeanG: happy birthday Doug! thanks Joe
	10:33am annie: @ schnipp: i thought i was the only one who heard that wrong.. unless joe knows something we don't..
	♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Aw, man, Doug Sahm. Yes!
	♥ 10:34am pantz: It's about someone did @KP!
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: If Jac Holtzmann had trouble with Delaney Bramlett it must be bad given that he had Jim Morrison on the label.
	10:35am Davee: Singles going 1/2 an hour
	10:37am KP: Funky but Grand
	♥ 10:37am Sem Chumbo: I love the idea that it was called the Sir Douglas Quintet because they wanted to cash in on the English invasion.
	10:38am Davee: Loco-lotion
	10:38am Schnipp: @annie — the first time I thought I misheard. The second time I knew it was intentional. Good thing Joe’s such a good guy. I think he’s too young!
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Brian: He said in his book that Delaney was the worst artist he had to deal with in all his years at Elektra.
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: JH "Something about Delaney made me itch"
	10:40am Davee: Reggae - ahhhhhh
	10:42am nickrhombi: masterful engineering job on locomotion. that slap back delay on the vocal, the over driven bass... probably one of farners best solos out of a caree of great solos. - studio magic there. what were those effects?!? (guessing clay is still in studio...)
	10:51am KP: I sat at table next to Delaney's at My Father Place after she opened for EmmyLou. She was so loud, drunk and abusive - this was front row - during EmmyLou's set every started yelling at her to leave. She did with one last loud comment directed at EmmyLou, one i cannot repeat here due to FCC regulations.
	10:51am Schnipp: How can this not be Dionne Warwick? New Jersey’s own!
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @KP: Do you mean Bonnie Bramlett?
	♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: It is an afternoon for crumpets and hot chocolate.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: And how about this 80s drum sound on the X record, huh? Wowzer.
	10:55am Davee: Over the top . . . .
	♥ 10:56am Rich in Washington: X's production was all over the map throughout the 80s. Just recently revisited Under The Big Black Sun and still cannot warm to it.
	♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Clive Davis signed them up for a six record deal at $1m. They split up so they had to make six EACH.
	♥ 10:57am pantz: Def has a Jefferson Starship feeling to it
	♥ 10:57am Hughie Considine: But they really jumped the shark w. Aint Love Grand.
	10:57am Davee: glad that is over
	♥ 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe "$9,003 To Go" McGasko.
	10:58am Davee: DEVO style here, a little....
	10:58am Wild Neil: Yachts is so 80's sounding like Gary Numan. And its from 1979! Also, a bit like the Tubes, remember THEM? White Punks on Dope!
	10:59am Schnipp: Great power pop here. Have a friend who can’t stop raving about the underappreciated Scruffs, with or w/o Alex Chilton.
	10:59am KP: Yes, Bramlett.
	10:59am rw: Hello! I always wonder exactly how it is that someone becomes the yachting type.
	♥ 10:59am Rich in Washington: This band's name is actually pronounced Throat Wobbler Mangrove.
	11:00am Davee: @ Rich - very good!
	♥ 11:00am ChrisB.: Love that little yelp at the end.
	♥ 11:00am tadpoles: Yachts I think were one of those post-Mod bands in the wake of the Jam. The Lurkers also come to mind.
	♥ 11:01am Rich in Washington: rw: boating's fun, but even a small boat can be expensive. I would imagine, from the few yacht owners I personally know, it's the prestige of being a rich asshole who can hang out with other rich assholes and measure each other's yachts.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Yacht is a Dutch word?
	11:02am Davee: How long is it?
	♥ 11:02am Rich in Washington: one yacht owner I know doesn't even do anything with his yacht other than pay moorage but hobnobs with the other yacht club members much more than doing any sailing.
	11:02am Wild Neil: @rw-I know a lady that did not make a lot of money but she LOVED sailing so she found a way to get on yacht crews...I guess you just to to the yacht club, buy drinks and ask around? Its NOT All rich assholes...also they had a free program for youths teaching them to sail tiny sunfish. So not ALL stereotypes are true!
	11:03am annie: manfredgensen; sorry every once in a while i have to spit that out.
	11:03am Wild Neil: Yachts got a clickey star for that cool prog rock/pop rock sound!
	♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: @annie like a fur ball?
	11:05am miles: Blondie also did California Sun
	11:06am Wild Neil: But yeah, " a boat is a hole in the water were you throw all your money."My brother had a 32 foot boat for awhile, had to sell it, so damn expensive just to HAVE much less to SAIL.
	11:07am Parq: I wonder what Carole King thought about Grand Funk's version of "Loco Motion". Whatever, I'm sure getting royalty checks with the song back on the charts made her feel better about the whole thing.
	11:08am annie: @Brian/UK: it's one of those tongue twisters i have say out loud, so when it comes back around on the guitar, i can be ready. i have almost that whole scene memorized.
	11:09am miles: they did it live I believe & perhaps on that "picture this live" CD
	♥ 11:10am medson: I already hear all those things you described
	11:12am miles: now I'm doubting myself. I couldn't possibly be confusing it with "in the sun"? jeezers
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: That's OK, Miles, it's possible they did it live. But I don't think they ever recorded it in the studio.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: Official Web site for Ikebe Shakedown: ikebeshakedown.com
	♥ 11:14am medson: This sounds amazing
	11:16am queems: this is really awesome
	11:16am miles: haven't had coffee yet. I think I layed egg here ..there is however a cool 60s garage cover of it somewhere . I think I got my que tangled up with my laundry list or something
	11:16am Wild Neil: Clicky starred the one I did't hear also. African jazz?
	11:18am Davee: These guys sound amazzzzing!
	11:18am KP: I had a boat but when it became a pain donated it to the blind.
	♥ 11:18am Passaic River Blues: Haven't thought about these guys since their self-titled six or seven years ago. Really astute choice to bring them in, Joe, as they are an absurdly talented group. As queems said, this IS really awesome.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: It took them a long time to make their latest LP, but the wait was worth it, it's real good!
	11:20am miles: 60s garage rockers The Iguanas . yeah they do a cool cover of California Sun
	♥ 11:21am Greg from ZONE 5: My brother just saw IS and hasn't stopped talking about it for weeks. btw, this sounds PHENOMENAL. Big up, Mario!
	11:22am Paul In Bloomfield: This is awesome
	11:22am Parq: What everyone else said. This is killer.
	11:22am Paul In Bloomfield: And another band goes on my must-check-out list
	11:23am Paul In Bloomfield: Its like surf and ska had a baby
	11:24am queems: i'm working on something really hard at work and music with no words is really helping me right now
	♥ 11:24am Mark Hurst: Loving this set!
	♥ 11:24am medson: I wasn't aware of these guys, thanks for putting them on my radar Joe. Another band I like although different from these guys incorporates Afro Beat. Here Lies Man is the name of that band for those who might wanna check it out
	♥ 11:25am Mick: SO good - thanks for bringing them in!
	11:26am rbx: the engineering on this set is fantastic as well, kudos!
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @rbx: That's our man, Mario! He's the best.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: He took the picture, too, as if he didn't have enough to do!
	11:29am melinda: Great sounds.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Sorry I haven't been commenting, I've been dancin'!
	11:34am Schnipp: Lotta dancing going on this whole show. Unsure where it began, but it was early. “Where words fail, music speaks.” — Hans Christian Anderson
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: I like the quotation, Schnipp! Glad you've had fun!
	11:47am annie: my dancing days are done, but, man, can i kick it up in my mind!
	♥ 11:49am Passaic River Blues: On the FMA? Nice!
	11:52am annie: Joe, just for the record, i'm voting for the fall "silent marathon" to go live. i think you'll have much better results. my 2 cents..
	♥ 11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: File under: Songs I will never, ever tire of.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: We have a winner! Thanks for playing!
	11:55am Parq: Everyone's a winner on this show. Corny, I know, but true.
	♥ 11:55am Sem Chumbo: Been large fun, Joe. Thanks, and see you next time.
	♥ 11:56am Krys O.: Even a Muzak version of Sooner or Later could get me dancing.
	11:56am ?: Sooner/Later sounds a little off from what I remember - Is your turntable slow, or was mine too fast back in the day? (I'm guessing the latter.)
	♥ 11:56am Krys O.: SAVE it for later! Sheesh, I need lunch.
	♥ 11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! See you next week with Sachiko Kanenobu!
	11:58am rbx: thanks joe!
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Gesundheit!
	♥ 12:00pm Stevel: Great show, as always! Thanks Joe McG! On to Joe B!
	♥ 12:01pm 12539: Thanks Joe!
