	9:07am Vincent Nifigance: Is this FMU's emergency Broadcast System?
	♥ 9:08am steveo: that young guy on this seems talented
	9:08am Lixiviated Life: It's not dead. It's only "mostly dead"
	9:08am annie: i prefer the pop-up from this page rather than the splash page...
	♥ 9:09am Sem: Morning, Joe, McGaskoes, those who identify as either, and all.
	♥ 9:09am Amanda: Only a flesh wound
	9:10am ben abs: Morning Joe & all
	9:11am Lixiviated Life: @Amanda as you wish
	9:11am annie: i got better!!
	♥ 9:11am Amanda Nazario: Oh shoot, I mixed up my Princess Bride and Python that is mortifying
	9:12am Lixiviated Life: @annie inconceivable !
	9:12am annie: i thought they were interchangable
	9:12am themutante: Didn't this show used to have a tracklisting?
	♥ 9:13am The Oscar: Enjoying the new educational format.
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Morning Joe!
	9:14am Lixiviated Life: ok @annie listen, I'm an affable guy. very liberal compared to most. but "interchangeable" really? THAT I cannot abide.
	9:15am themutante: I'm taking names and stealing pinky toes!
	9:15am annie: i follow a FB page for Douglas Adams, they switch those puppies up all the time. and i was going to come on and ask, "Que?"
	♥ 9:16am The Oscar: Judge Dread has conditioned me to expect filthy lyrics in any reggae nursery rhymes.
	♥ 9:16am N.A.R.D.: But what are you doing with the pinky toes?
	9:16am annie: @ LL: as you wish
	9:16am themutante: Playlist!
	9:17am themutante: Necklace, of course! @NARD
	♥ 9:17am The Oscar: If you've never seen it, there's a clip of Prince doing "Starfish and Coffee" in a classroom on some '90s kids show, and it's adorable.
	♥ 9:18am N.A.R.D.: Terrific idea, themutante! Way better than this stupid macaroni necklace I've been working on.
	♥ 9:18am karlward: Welcome to the McGasko School for Applied Rotation.
	9:19am northguineahills: @The Osar: My younger brothers grew out of kids shows by the early 90s, so, I unfortunately missed it. (I also didn't fall in love w/ Prince until the late 90s)
	9:20am Lixiviated Life: @Annie :)
	9:21am themutante: Little piggies > Pasta Doodles! @NARD
	♥ 9:21am N.A.R.D.: In Virginia you can't just go buy liquor at the grocery store or the drug store like you can in most places. If you want liquor you have to go to an Alphabet Store.
	9:22am themutante: Sounds dangerous. @NARD
	9:23am annie: some places are called "Package Stores" so they can avoid those who fear school?
	9:23am queems: what
	♥ 9:24am N.A.R.D.: True, but I like to live dangerously. I'll be making macaroni necklaces until one of them finally bursts into flames taking my whole arts and crafts studio with me.
	9:24am themutante: I'm beginning to think this is a concept mix. Don't know if you lot picked up on that one.
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Didn't Weird Al Yankovic parody a Peter Tosh song with "Alphabetize It"?
	9:25am annie: oh, joe!! are the swag deliveries on schedule? i usually get mine in mid-august..
	♥ 9:26am N.A.R.D.: Oh wait, did you mean alphabet stores sound dangerous? They certainly can be. School age children like to hang around outside and demand you buy them alcohol, threatening to egg your car if you refuse.
	9:26am annie: i know it's geeky, but i love that there all those capital As in the tracklist..
	♥ 9:27am The Oscar: This is terrific.
	9:27am Morphe: just got in... missed Clay ... only in for a bit ....glad to catch you for a bit!!! Thanks for spinning!!!!
	♥ 9:27am Krys O.: Excellent show, Joe!
	♥ 9:28am steveo: Elemeno The word that comes between "k" and "p." In advanced cultures, it replaces the letters "l," "m," "n," and "o." [urban dictionary]
	9:28am Brendan: Morning Joe and friends, Anyone remember that 80s song by Ēbn-Ōzn called ‘A E I O U and sometimes Y’?
	♥ 9:28am WFMU listener WADE: oh god...high school marching band drumming exercises.
	♥ 9:29am The Oscar: Welp, I know what will be stuck in my head all day.
	9:30am themutante: You're funny! @NARD
	9:30am SueAdynamo: O jesus! i switched from the news to feeling like someone was beating my head in. uh, i gott see what drummer is up to for a bit. :-)
	9:30am themutante: And insightful. @NARD
	9:31am themutante: None of Ravi's work makes sense unless you hear this one first.
	♥ 9:32am steveo: only google result for the charlie tucker track is a newspaper archive site from 1967 from.... hazleton PA
	♥ 9:32am steveo: joe, what else is on that record?
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: This set sponsored by Campbell's alphabet soup.
	♥ 9:33am Joe McG: @steveo: Wow! Just more time signatures and note practice in the same breathless voice! Hey everybody, sorry for saying hello so late, I was having playlist problems, as you may have noticed earlier on.
	♥ 9:34am N.A.R.D.: I used to be a stand-up comedian, but then my legs got tired so I became a sit-down comedian.
	9:34am themutante: Had to undo my trouser top button. The best Monday ever? Possibly. #Carlsberg
	9:35am themutante: Yikes! @NARD
	♥ 9:35am N.A.R.D.: Playlist problems, Joe? I hadn't noticed. I thought it was an artistic choice to hide the tracks from us, thus demonstrating the transient nature of the accu-playlist.
	9:36am Diezel Tea: Good morning from the sunny foothills of Mt. Ararat. Deliciously wacky set Joe.
	9:37am Brendan: I want to hold your Hindi
	9:37am themutante: I've never had the ear-palate for the high pitched Indian female vocal. I try though.
	♥ 9:38am N.A.R.D.: @Diezel Tea, I forget the name of the town, but there is a statue of my great grandfather somewhere in the foothills of Mt Ararat. I hope one day to visit it.
	♥ 9:38am N.A.R.D.: I suppose I should likely have to remember the name of the town to visit it, though.
	9:39am themutante: Ha! @NARD
	♥ 9:40am steveo: thanks joe. i love note practice!
	9:43am Lixiviated Life: @NARD Just up and go. Fortune favors the bold!
	9:43am Brendan: Flute Loops - yum
	♥ 9:43am The Oscar: Man, I slept not getting this premium. This is so good.
	9:44am themutante: I could go some Beastie Fruit Loop.
	9:45am themutante: I'll just about go any Ill Communication.
	♥ 9:46am N.A.R.D.: @Lixiviated Life, it's wonderful to say, and I could certainly afford a ticket there and back, but I may well have to sleep on the streets and beg for food while I'm there. I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
	9:46am rw: Good morning! Premium marathon day!
	9:47am themutante: Hello, Joe!
	9:47am Brendan: Hello I love this show. Won’t you tell me it’s name? Say perhaps at the top of the hour?
	9:49am annie: are people getting their swag? my bit is becoming very champed..
	9:53am themutante: Who knew?!
	♥ 9:54am karlward: I have frequently wondered whether Single File is devout on the 45 RPM 7 inch large hole format, or if variations (like 45 RPM 7 inch but with a small hole, 12 inch 45, etc.) would be permitted.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @annie: We haven't started sending yet, but this is the week when we are starting!
	♥ 9:57am The Oscar: Can't wait! Swag day is basically Christmas in summer.
	♥ 9:58am jillydg: Ravi is in today's Crossword puzzle. Cosmic!
	10:01am KP in DC: Real Mac is the only Mac, thanks Joe
	10:02am northguineahills: Nice one, Brendan!
	♥ 10:02am Summer and Michael: Great show, Joe, as ever! Tuned in just in time for Ravi and loving the interesting covers, too. Happy Monday!
	10:03am annie: wonderful, joe, thanks.. !!
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @S&M: Glad you're on the mend!
	10:06am wendy del formaggio: Good morning, Joe! I tuned in a few songs ago. This Fleetwood Mac set is just what I need. Thank you.
	♥ 10:07am Krys O.: Thanks for the Danny tribute.
	10:10am Diezel Tea: SABBATH
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Glad you guys liked the Danny Kirwin. I always liked that he brought that introspective aspect to FM.
	♥ 10:11am The Oscar: Ha-- going out to Clay?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: See, I found some Black Sabbath songs I like! :)
	10:12am Vincent Nifigance: They didn't ruin a lot of music, just some!
	10:13am PKNY: BILL SABBATH!
	10:15am wendy del formaggio: I like Buckingham-Nicks just fine, but I love the Danny era the best, and I've only recently discovered it. Probably through Bob Brainen, in fact.
	♥ 10:15am The Oscar: During the Great Celebrity Cull of 2016, it occurred to me how mind-boggling it is that we still have all four original members of Black Sabbath.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Isn't Bill Ward the guy they tossed out of the group?
	♥ 10:15am karlward: No relation.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @karlward: Ha ha! It's alright.
	♥ 10:18am Brian C.: LOVE The Damnation of Adam Blessing. A college buddy found this LP at a flea market c 1984. Ohio psych rock!
	♥ 10:19am Brian C.: or whatever genre this is
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: All I care about is that there's another "Morning Dew" for me to love! :)
	10:29am themutante: There's a clicky.
	10:33am themutante: I was swimming deep in sin, far from Morning Dew.
	10:33am sphere: hello peops.
	10:34am melinda: Hi friends
	10:34am themutante: Hi, how are you?
	10:36am themutante: Dead air is a crime. Still.
	10:37am themutante: 12" leap year.
	10:39am djsheilab: I BLOODY LOVE THIS SONG!!! Thank you Joe!!!!!!
	♥ 10:40am The Oscar: Somewhere, a chair is being thrown.
	♥ 10:41am Bas NL: At the time, having heard it on radio, i ran to the record store to buy this 12". Fantastic!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: Sheila B.! A fave of mine, too! :)
	10:41am melinda: This reminds me of early U2 sort of.
	10:42am Lixiviated Life: This song playing driving across the Nevada desert windows open cooler open in the back seat
	10:42am northguineahills: @Lixiviated Life: You're full of good ideas!
	10:44am Listener Alexandra: Nice way to wake up...thanks, Joe!
	10:44am Lixiviated Life: "No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough"
	♥ 10:44am karlward: Elementary school me is rocking out extremely hard right now.
	10:44am herb.nyc: as MELINDA said U2, they're at the apollo theater tonight. out of curiosity i chk'd stubhub, but it's not listed. their phila show is, with $20 tix available behind the stage.
	10:47am Diezel Tea: Is there a relationship between Brian Brain and Go4?
	♥ 10:48am Mick: This show is killing it - if this is what 12" single file sounds like, I'm all for it. The Cult - LOVE (pun totally intended)
	10:49am Cheri Pi: YES!
	10:49am thriftstoreleather: I loved that song! Brian Brain
	♥ 10:50am karlward: By the way, the 12 inch 45 RPM is my favorite single format, by a lot. It may be because a friend gave me his older sister's 12 inch collection back in middle school--Cure, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, just a goldmine.
	10:51am thriftstoreleather: thats awesome karlward. good stuff!
	♥ 10:52am karlward: Oh, and I forgot to mention, so much New Order. Changed my life.
	10:52am paul: I had a 12" single of This Corrosion by Sisters of Mercy. Would fit nicely into this set.
	10:54am David in London: My 12in of ‘Hollow Horse’ by The Icicle Works was always a favourite.
	♥ 10:54am karlward: Some of the 12 inch sleeve have things like "good for cardio" written on them in pen. It doesn't even bother me, it's like looking at cave paintings.
	10:55am herb.nyc: FYI, the Archive of Contemptible Music has its biannual sale NOW (for another 2wks?), in tribeca. my friend wrote this: I got an X 12" ("Wild Thing") and Camera Obscura 7" ("The Sweetest Thing") with a Springsteen cover on the B-side for $6 total. I'm always glad to go.
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Diezel: Not that I know of, but he was in PiL for a while. @paul: Wish I had that. BTW, my set of 12" singles will be unapologetically 70s and 80s. I know there are great ones from later decades, but I didn't bring any. :)
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I love the Belle Stars
	♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Tony-award winner Bruce Springsteen.
	11:01am paul: Oh, the English Beat :)
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Ken: I would have liked to have seen him on Broadway. Did he really win a Tony?
	11:02am herb.nyc: i've entered the Bruce lottery about 20x. have lost about 20x. this serves to remind me to enter again. excuse me... i think Bruce got a Special tony award.
	11:04am herb.nyc: big winner at the Tonys was The Band's Visit, which stars Tony Shalhoub, friend of Andy Breckman. (when wfmu re-aired the 7SD with a drunk ken interviewing tony shalhoub, i taped it. i think the show is not archived. pretty fun stuff.)
	11:04am northguineahills: Haven't heard this Beat before!
	11:07am themutante: The Beat - Which Side of the Bed
	♥ 11:07am The Oscar: Alice the Seal!
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: @ngh: A great, kind of forgotten one!
	11:07am themutante: An unfindable one with that spelling.
	11:08am northguineahills: Now, I want to hear Fuxa's cover!
	11:08am herb.nyc: Fun Boy Three reminds me of John Doe's LA PUNK book "under the big black sun", and jane weidlin mentions her boy friend, terry hall.
	11:08am themutante: Title more than spelling, really.
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: @mutante: Fixed!
	11:10am themutante: Cool, @Joe. I had trouble finding it for a minute.
	11:12am Dean: A vote for best 12" from the early '80s: Bauhaus, "Ziggy Stardust"/"Third Uncle".
	♥ 11:13am jillydg: The rhythms on that Fun Boy!
	♥ 11:15am Jeff "closet goth" Golick: @Dean: You just reminded me I had the EP with Ziggy on it. (And the Bela Legosi 12".)
	♥ 11:15am Hughie Considine: Love it, Joe. Soca party! First encountered soca on WLIB in New York during the '80s -- only thing my AM car radio would pick up, but time well spent.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @HC: I need to buy more soca! It makes me so happy!
	11:17am Dean: Oh, yes, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is quite the charmer, too. I never got deep into Bauhaus, saw them live once at the Roxy in Hollywood, but I really love those two EPs.
	♥ 11:17am tadpoles: @Dean...Bauhaus "Telegram Sam" 12" pretty good too.
	11:17am Dean: True, @tadpoles, true.
	11:17am northguineahills: Wow, a 1980 Mighty Swallow 12"!!!
	♥ 11:17am Sem: Oh, the mighty, mighty Swallow. Wonderful, Joe!
	11:21am themutante: She's in Parties!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: I hope you guys got Marcel's shirt this year, it's a Bauhaus-related image.
	♥ 11:23am pantz: I did! Can't wait to sport it at the discoteque
	11:23am northguineahills: I once through a rave at an abandoned railroad depot the the town was trying to rehabilitate (that is now a park), and in one room I found hundreds of T.K. Disco and Casablanca records. I took quite a bit w/ me.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @ngh: Wow!
	11:25am Dean: Aw, nuts. Just saw the Kirwan news.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Edwin Starr really covered the gamut of human experience.
	11:28am northguineahills: proto-acid!
	11:29am northguineahills: errr, I once threw a rave (darn english language!)
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: I don't know if you guys are diggin' this, but I really am, so I'm going to roll 12"ers until the end of the show. They sound fantastic in the studio!
	♥ 11:32am Sem: @NGH: once had an upscale used clothing store called: Experienced Clothing, Too Good to be Through.
	11:38am Dean: Another '77 12" EP worth a spin: the first Motörhead with "City Kids."
	11:38am Readie Righteous: I’m home sick today, and I tell you Joe McG, this is pure medicine for the soul! Wooooo!
	11:39am peter scibetta: perfect!!
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: So glad to hear that, Readie! :)
	♥ 11:40am The Oscar: WHOA-- I somehow always forget this exists!
	11:41am Readie Righteous: ❤️!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Never heard this before -- plotzing
	♥ 11:43am Goyim in the AM: Devo (actually just Mark and Jerry) are responsible only for the "GOOD GOD". They still showed up on Solid God to mime the song.
	♥ 11:44am Goyim in the AM: Solid Gold, I mean. Worth looking up the clip.
	11:47am Lixiviated Life: hmmm... "Solid God" New teen idol band?
	♥ 11:47am Michael 98145: cool - the dub version
	11:48am northguineahills: One of the most solid single files! (and that says a lot!)
	♥ 11:49am The Oscar: TUUUUUUBES!
	♥ 11:50am Planet Tyler: Whatta great song this is - great video too!
	♥ 11:50am Goyim in the AM: Solid God = The Bug's dance team.
	11:52am Listener Alexandra: This might be the best single file in four years :-)
	11:52am howard in nyc: W P O D
	♥ 11:53am Michael 98145: whoa
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Alex: Ha ha ha. Thanks for listening, everybody! Got carried away, but had a lot of fun today. Have a great week and I promise to play some new music next time.
	♥ 11:54am BarbR: Awesome Single File, Joe!
	11:55am the Butterman: go Welnick, grateful dead last keyboard player!
	11:56am Morphe: 1755 here here.. Just in again for the last tunes...Thanks again...

	♥ 9:07am Mike D.: Where Dead Air Lives!
	9:07am Vincent Nifigance: Is this FMU's emergency Broadcast System?
	♥ 9:08am steveo: that young guy on this seems talented
	9:08am Lixiviated Life: It's not dead. It's only "mostly dead"
	9:08am annie: i prefer the pop-up from this page rather than the splash page...
	♥ 9:09am Sem: Morning, Joe, McGaskoes, those who identify as either, and all.
	♥ 9:09am Amanda: Only a flesh wound
	9:10am ben abs: Morning Joe & all
	9:11am Lixiviated Life: @Amanda as you wish
	9:11am annie: i got better!!
	♥ 9:11am Amanda Nazario: Oh shoot, I mixed up my Princess Bride and Python that is mortifying
	9:12am Lixiviated Life: @annie inconceivable !
	9:12am annie: i thought they were interchangable
	9:12am themutante: Didn't this show used to have a tracklisting?
	♥ 9:13am The Oscar: Enjoying the new educational format.
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Morning Joe!
	9:14am Lixiviated Life: ok @annie listen, I'm an affable guy. very liberal compared to most. but "interchangeable" really? THAT I cannot abide.
	9:15am themutante: I'm taking names and stealing pinky toes!
	9:15am annie: i follow a FB page for Douglas Adams, they switch those puppies up all the time. and i was going to come on and ask, "Que?"
	♥ 9:16am The Oscar: Judge Dread has conditioned me to expect filthy lyrics in any reggae nursery rhymes.
	♥ 9:16am N.A.R.D.: But what are you doing with the pinky toes?
	9:16am annie: @ LL: as you wish
	9:16am themutante: Playlist!
	9:17am themutante: Necklace, of course! @NARD
	♥ 9:17am The Oscar: If you've never seen it, there's a clip of Prince doing "Starfish and Coffee" in a classroom on some '90s kids show, and it's adorable.
	♥ 9:18am N.A.R.D.: Terrific idea, themutante! Way better than this stupid macaroni necklace I've been working on.
	♥ 9:18am karlward: Welcome to the McGasko School for Applied Rotation.
	9:19am northguineahills: @The Osar: My younger brothers grew out of kids shows by the early 90s, so, I unfortunately missed it. (I also didn't fall in love w/ Prince until the late 90s)
	9:20am Lixiviated Life: @Annie :)
	9:21am themutante: Little piggies > Pasta Doodles! @NARD
	♥ 9:21am N.A.R.D.: In Virginia you can't just go buy liquor at the grocery store or the drug store like you can in most places. If you want liquor you have to go to an Alphabet Store.
	9:22am themutante: Sounds dangerous. @NARD
	9:23am annie: some places are called "Package Stores" so they can avoid those who fear school?
	9:23am queems: what
	♥ 9:24am N.A.R.D.: True, but I like to live dangerously. I'll be making macaroni necklaces until one of them finally bursts into flames taking my whole arts and crafts studio with me.
	9:24am themutante: I'm beginning to think this is a concept mix. Don't know if you lot picked up on that one.
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Didn't Weird Al Yankovic parody a Peter Tosh song with "Alphabetize It"?
	9:25am annie: oh, joe!! are the swag deliveries on schedule? i usually get mine in mid-august..
	♥ 9:26am N.A.R.D.: Oh wait, did you mean alphabet stores sound dangerous? They certainly can be. School age children like to hang around outside and demand you buy them alcohol, threatening to egg your car if you refuse.
	9:26am annie: i know it's geeky, but i love that there all those capital As in the tracklist..
	♥ 9:27am The Oscar: This is terrific.
	9:27am Morphe: just got in... missed Clay ... only in for a bit ....glad to catch you for a bit!!! Thanks for spinning!!!!
	♥ 9:27am Krys O.: Excellent show, Joe!
	♥ 9:28am steveo: Elemeno The word that comes between "k" and "p." In advanced cultures, it replaces the letters "l," "m," "n," and "o." [urban dictionary]
	9:28am Brendan: Morning Joe and friends, Anyone remember that 80s song by Ēbn-Ōzn called ‘A E I O U and sometimes Y’?
	♥ 9:28am WFMU listener WADE: oh god...high school marching band drumming exercises.
	♥ 9:29am The Oscar: Welp, I know what will be stuck in my head all day.
	9:30am themutante: You're funny! @NARD
	9:30am SueAdynamo: O jesus! i switched from the news to feeling like someone was beating my head in. uh, i gott see what drummer is up to for a bit. :-)
	9:30am themutante: And insightful. @NARD
	9:31am themutante: None of Ravi's work makes sense unless you hear this one first.
	♥ 9:32am steveo: only google result for the charlie tucker track is a newspaper archive site from 1967 from.... hazleton PA
	♥ 9:32am steveo: joe, what else is on that record?
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: This set sponsored by Campbell's alphabet soup.
	♥ 9:33am Joe McG: @steveo: Wow! Just more time signatures and note practice in the same breathless voice! Hey everybody, sorry for saying hello so late, I was having playlist problems, as you may have noticed earlier on.
	♥ 9:34am N.A.R.D.: I used to be a stand-up comedian, but then my legs got tired so I became a sit-down comedian.
	9:34am themutante: Had to undo my trouser top button. The best Monday ever? Possibly. #Carlsberg
	9:35am themutante: Yikes! @NARD
	♥ 9:35am N.A.R.D.: Playlist problems, Joe? I hadn't noticed. I thought it was an artistic choice to hide the tracks from us, thus demonstrating the transient nature of the accu-playlist.
	9:36am Diezel Tea: Good morning from the sunny foothills of Mt. Ararat. Deliciously wacky set Joe.
	9:37am Brendan: I want to hold your Hindi
	9:37am themutante: I've never had the ear-palate for the high pitched Indian female vocal. I try though.
	♥ 9:38am N.A.R.D.: @Diezel Tea, I forget the name of the town, but there is a statue of my great grandfather somewhere in the foothills of Mt Ararat. I hope one day to visit it.
	♥ 9:38am N.A.R.D.: I suppose I should likely have to remember the name of the town to visit it, though.
	9:39am themutante: Ha! @NARD
	♥ 9:40am steveo: thanks joe. i love note practice!
	9:43am Lixiviated Life: @NARD Just up and go. Fortune favors the bold!
	9:43am Brendan: Flute Loops - yum
	♥ 9:43am The Oscar: Man, I slept not getting this premium. This is so good.
	9:44am themutante: I could go some Beastie Fruit Loop.
	9:45am themutante: I'll just about go any Ill Communication.
	♥ 9:46am N.A.R.D.: @Lixiviated Life, it's wonderful to say, and I could certainly afford a ticket there and back, but I may well have to sleep on the streets and beg for food while I'm there. I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
	9:46am rw: Good morning! Premium marathon day!
	9:47am themutante: Hello, Joe!
	9:47am Brendan: Hello I love this show. Won’t you tell me it’s name? Say perhaps at the top of the hour?
	9:49am annie: are people getting their swag? my bit is becoming very champed..
	9:53am themutante: Who knew?!
	♥ 9:54am karlward: I have frequently wondered whether Single File is devout on the 45 RPM 7 inch large hole format, or if variations (like 45 RPM 7 inch but with a small hole, 12 inch 45, etc.) would be permitted.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @annie: We haven't started sending yet, but this is the week when we are starting!
	♥ 9:57am The Oscar: Can't wait! Swag day is basically Christmas in summer.
	♥ 9:58am jillydg: Ravi is in today's Crossword puzzle. Cosmic!
	10:01am KP in DC: Real Mac is the only Mac, thanks Joe
	10:02am northguineahills: Nice one, Brendan!
	♥ 10:02am Summer and Michael: Great show, Joe, as ever! Tuned in just in time for Ravi and loving the interesting covers, too. Happy Monday!
	10:03am annie: wonderful, joe, thanks.. !!
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @S&M: Glad you're on the mend!
	10:06am wendy del formaggio: Good morning, Joe! I tuned in a few songs ago. This Fleetwood Mac set is just what I need. Thank you.
	♥ 10:07am Krys O.: Thanks for the Danny tribute.
	10:10am Diezel Tea: SABBATH
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Glad you guys liked the Danny Kirwin. I always liked that he brought that introspective aspect to FM.
	♥ 10:11am The Oscar: Ha-- going out to Clay?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: See, I found some Black Sabbath songs I like! :)
	10:12am Vincent Nifigance: They didn't ruin a lot of music, just some!
	10:13am PKNY: BILL SABBATH!
	10:15am wendy del formaggio: I like Buckingham-Nicks just fine, but I love the Danny era the best, and I've only recently discovered it. Probably through Bob Brainen, in fact.
	♥ 10:15am The Oscar: During the Great Celebrity Cull of 2016, it occurred to me how mind-boggling it is that we still have all four original members of Black Sabbath.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Isn't Bill Ward the guy they tossed out of the group?
	♥ 10:15am karlward: No relation.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @karlward: Ha ha! It's alright.
	♥ 10:18am Brian C.: LOVE The Damnation of Adam Blessing. A college buddy found this LP at a flea market c 1984. Ohio psych rock!
	♥ 10:19am Brian C.: or whatever genre this is
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: All I care about is that there's another "Morning Dew" for me to love! :)
	10:29am themutante: There's a clicky.
	10:33am themutante: I was swimming deep in sin, far from Morning Dew.
	10:33am sphere: hello peops.
	10:34am melinda: Hi friends
	10:34am themutante: Hi, how are you?
	10:36am themutante: Dead air is a crime. Still.
	10:37am themutante: 12" leap year.
	10:39am djsheilab: I BLOODY LOVE THIS SONG!!! Thank you Joe!!!!!!
	♥ 10:40am The Oscar: Somewhere, a chair is being thrown.
	♥ 10:41am Bas NL: At the time, having heard it on radio, i ran to the record store to buy this 12". Fantastic!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: Sheila B.! A fave of mine, too! :)
	10:41am melinda: This reminds me of early U2 sort of.
	10:42am Lixiviated Life: This song playing driving across the Nevada desert windows open cooler open in the back seat
	10:42am northguineahills: @Lixiviated Life: You're full of good ideas!
	10:44am Listener Alexandra: Nice way to wake up...thanks, Joe!
	10:44am Lixiviated Life: "No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough"
	♥ 10:44am karlward: Elementary school me is rocking out extremely hard right now.
	10:44am herb.nyc: as MELINDA said U2, they're at the apollo theater tonight. out of curiosity i chk'd stubhub, but it's not listed. their phila show is, with $20 tix available behind the stage.
	10:47am Diezel Tea: Is there a relationship between Brian Brain and Go4?
	♥ 10:48am Mick: This show is killing it - if this is what 12" single file sounds like, I'm all for it. The Cult - LOVE (pun totally intended)
	10:49am Cheri Pi: YES!
	10:49am thriftstoreleather: I loved that song! Brian Brain
	♥ 10:50am karlward: By the way, the 12 inch 45 RPM is my favorite single format, by a lot. It may be because a friend gave me his older sister's 12 inch collection back in middle school--Cure, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, just a goldmine.
	10:51am thriftstoreleather: thats awesome karlward. good stuff!
	♥ 10:52am karlward: Oh, and I forgot to mention, so much New Order. Changed my life.
	10:52am paul: I had a 12" single of This Corrosion by Sisters of Mercy. Would fit nicely into this set.
	10:54am David in London: My 12in of ‘Hollow Horse’ by The Icicle Works was always a favourite.
	♥ 10:54am karlward: Some of the 12 inch sleeve have things like "good for cardio" written on them in pen. It doesn't even bother me, it's like looking at cave paintings.
	10:55am herb.nyc: FYI, the Archive of Contemptible Music has its biannual sale NOW (for another 2wks?), in tribeca. my friend wrote this: I got an X 12" ("Wild Thing") and Camera Obscura 7" ("The Sweetest Thing") with a Springsteen cover on the B-side for $6 total. I'm always glad to go.
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Diezel: Not that I know of, but he was in PiL for a while. @paul: Wish I had that. BTW, my set of 12" singles will be unapologetically 70s and 80s. I know there are great ones from later decades, but I didn't bring any. :)
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I love the Belle Stars
	♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Tony-award winner Bruce Springsteen.
	11:01am paul: Oh, the English Beat :)
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Ken: I would have liked to have seen him on Broadway. Did he really win a Tony?
	11:02am herb.nyc: i've entered the Bruce lottery about 20x. have lost about 20x. this serves to remind me to enter again. excuse me... i think Bruce got a Special tony award.
	11:04am herb.nyc: big winner at the Tonys was The Band's Visit, which stars Tony Shalhoub, friend of Andy Breckman. (when wfmu re-aired the 7SD with a drunk ken interviewing tony shalhoub, i taped it. i think the show is not archived. pretty fun stuff.)
	11:04am northguineahills: Haven't heard this Beat before!
	11:07am themutante: The Beat - Which Side of the Bed
	♥ 11:07am The Oscar: Alice the Seal!
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: @ngh: A great, kind of forgotten one!
	11:07am themutante: An unfindable one with that spelling.
	11:08am northguineahills: Now, I want to hear Fuxa's cover!
	11:08am herb.nyc: Fun Boy Three reminds me of John Doe's LA PUNK book "under the big black sun", and jane weidlin mentions her boy friend, terry hall.
	11:08am themutante: Title more than spelling, really.
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: @mutante: Fixed!
	11:10am themutante: Cool, @Joe. I had trouble finding it for a minute.
	11:12am Dean: A vote for best 12" from the early '80s: Bauhaus, "Ziggy Stardust"/"Third Uncle".
	♥ 11:13am jillydg: The rhythms on that Fun Boy!
	♥ 11:15am Jeff "closet goth" Golick: @Dean: You just reminded me I had the EP with Ziggy on it. (And the Bela Legosi 12".)
	♥ 11:15am Hughie Considine: Love it, Joe. Soca party! First encountered soca on WLIB in New York during the '80s -- only thing my AM car radio would pick up, but time well spent.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @HC: I need to buy more soca! It makes me so happy!
	11:17am Dean: Oh, yes, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is quite the charmer, too. I never got deep into Bauhaus, saw them live once at the Roxy in Hollywood, but I really love those two EPs.
	♥ 11:17am tadpoles: @Dean...Bauhaus "Telegram Sam" 12" pretty good too.
	11:17am Dean: True, @tadpoles, true.
	11:17am northguineahills: Wow, a 1980 Mighty Swallow 12"!!!
	♥ 11:17am Sem: Oh, the mighty, mighty Swallow. Wonderful, Joe!
	11:21am themutante: She's in Parties!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: I hope you guys got Marcel's shirt this year, it's a Bauhaus-related image.
	♥ 11:23am pantz: I did! Can't wait to sport it at the discoteque
	11:23am northguineahills: I once through a rave at an abandoned railroad depot the the town was trying to rehabilitate (that is now a park), and in one room I found hundreds of T.K. Disco and Casablanca records. I took quite a bit w/ me.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @ngh: Wow!
	11:25am Dean: Aw, nuts. Just saw the Kirwan news.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Edwin Starr really covered the gamut of human experience.
	11:28am northguineahills: proto-acid!
	11:29am northguineahills: errr, I once threw a rave (darn english language!)
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: I don't know if you guys are diggin' this, but I really am, so I'm going to roll 12"ers until the end of the show. They sound fantastic in the studio!
	♥ 11:32am Sem: @NGH: once had an upscale used clothing store called: Experienced Clothing, Too Good to be Through.
	11:38am Dean: Another '77 12" EP worth a spin: the first Motörhead with "City Kids."
	11:38am Readie Righteous: I’m home sick today, and I tell you Joe McG, this is pure medicine for the soul! Wooooo!
	11:39am peter scibetta: perfect!!
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: So glad to hear that, Readie! :)
	♥ 11:40am The Oscar: WHOA-- I somehow always forget this exists!
	11:41am Readie Righteous: ❤️!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Never heard this before -- plotzing
	♥ 11:43am Goyim in the AM: Devo (actually just Mark and Jerry) are responsible only for the "GOOD GOD". They still showed up on Solid God to mime the song.
	♥ 11:44am Goyim in the AM: Solid Gold, I mean. Worth looking up the clip.
	11:47am Lixiviated Life: hmmm... "Solid God" New teen idol band?
	♥ 11:47am Michael 98145: cool - the dub version
	11:48am northguineahills: One of the most solid single files! (and that says a lot!)
	♥ 11:49am The Oscar: TUUUUUUBES!
	♥ 11:50am Planet Tyler: Whatta great song this is - great video too!
	♥ 11:50am Goyim in the AM: Solid God = The Bug's dance team.
	11:52am Listener Alexandra: This might be the best single file in four years :-)
	11:52am howard in nyc: W P O D
	♥ 11:53am Michael 98145: whoa
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Alex: Ha ha ha. Thanks for listening, everybody! Got carried away, but had a lot of fun today. Have a great week and I promise to play some new music next time.
