	♥ 9:12am Irene Trudel: This Louis Prima is really a terrible song, mainly because of those backup singers. Yikes!

	♥ 9:15am pantz: Just the facts, ma'am.
	9:16am Brendan: It was Tuesday, February 9. It was raining in Los Angeles. We were working the late shift.
	♥ 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: On the subject of pledges: For tax or matching grant purposes, is there a year-end summary available to know how much a person has sent to the station? How does that work?
	9:16am Brendan: Some poor kid on bennies and booze was out on a ledge

	9:32am Vincent Nifigance: Unsurprising the hearts and radios are so commonplace in this show's chat. Bravo, Joe!
	♥ 9:34am ChrisB.: Worng Froggy, Joe. Billy "Froggy" Laughlin, of Our Gang, died in 1948.
	9:35am Brendan: Thurl also did ‘They’re Grrrrreat!’
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Thanks! I always thought it was THAT Froggy. @Brendan: Yes, Tony the Tiger!
	♥ 9:39am karlward: Joe, don't turn around, but David Lynch is literally right behind you. Be cool.
	9:42am Dances with Moomins: They don't make 'em like they used to! I remember Angel Baby wow ..holy smokes I was 7 in 1960!
	♥ 9:45am crateslinger: Used my woof moo lunch box today, or cooler or whatever it is. It worked very well. Yes, I already ate my lunch.
	9:45am Brendan: Baby it mid 50’s and raining outside.
	9:46am yobink: Baby it IS cold outside - 31 degrees in chilly Albuquerque NM this morning!
	♥ 9:46am tadpoles: It is still a wonder to me that all this magic is locked into these little slabs of plastic. Not quite the same feeling for mp3s I'm afraid.
	♥ 9:47am joe: You know I dont' know if I have ever heard this version of Baby I'ts Cold... or at least not to the extent of most other versoins
	9:47am Andrea in Jersey City: Wow this is the best version I have ever heard
	♥ 9:50am Krys O.: This Everly song is exquisite!
	♥ 9:51am Brian in UK: Hey Joe (adopts John Lennon voice "I think you've passed the audition)
	♥ 9:52am pantz: Ah, this reminds me of one of the best albums I ever went out on a limb with, "More Than Mambo". No better way to start a day than with Afro-Cuban jazz.
	♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: @tadpoles mp3s are not tactile. Last Saturday was National Album day. As if it needed validation. www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 9:55am drr: I keep waiting for the gunshot sounds in this Sharpees track.
	9:58am Vincent Nifigance: Remember when singers were great singers?
	♥ 10:00am steveo: hm, maybe play the rest at 78, so we can make it to 2018?
	♥ 10:00am steveo: (jk, of course; this is amazing; history in action!)
	♥ 10:02am joe: Sgt Pepper Killed Rock and Roll ;)
	♥ 10:02am steveo: after all, it was you and me
	♥ 10:03am Jay Goges: dig this cover
	10:03am Dan Bodah: Sounding great, Joe. Loving the history of the single, and that Martin Denny is a big fave.
	10:03am KP in DC: Is this the Rutles?
	♥ 10:04am Brian in UK: You might say that Sgt Pepper validated the album.
	♥ 10:04am joe: This seems to be their only release
	10:04am Brendan: The verse rhythm is Like a Rolling Stone
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: Thanks, Dan, great to see you!
	♥ 10:05am Sem: The drummer here does an excellent Ringo tribute.
	♥ 10:06am tadpoles: # KP...The Rutles never played Beatles' songs.
	10:06am jayjay: The Carole King demo of Porpoise Song is amazing (as well)

	♥ 10:10am Brian in UK: @steveo we have chickens,does that make me the eggman?
	♥ 10:11am Krys O.: Now Dion! Oof, I'm melting.....
	♥ 10:13am Tim 07030: Hi Joe, great show!
	♥ 10:15am steveo: @brian goo goo g'joob
	10:15am Kenny rotten: Enjoying the show Joe! thanks
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Think we might here more Brits in the 70s & 80s.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Tim and Kenny: Thanks! Having great fun going through the years!
	♥ 10:16am Summer and Michael: Great show, as ever, Joe!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Thanks, S&M!
	♥ 10:17am Irene Trudel: Lotta favorites in this set, Joe! Great alternate versions too. Lovin' it!
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Irene: Great to see you at the Mini Record Fair!
	♥ 10:19am pantz: Love this Faces cover. Where's my lighter?!
	10:20am Will: Joe, You just played two of my favorite songs of all time in one set(Porpoise Songs and Now Be Thankful). Uncanny. Please don't play the Rita Coolidge version of Superstar or I might flip out.
	♥ 10:20am Krys O.: Singing along at my desk in the office. My co-worker is off today and I can play FMU at a respectable volume AND sing along if needed.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Will: Ha ha, you're lucky I left my Rita Coolidge at home! Thanks, Krys!
	10:22am KP in DC: Tadpoles, all Rutles songs are credited to Innes/Lennon-McCartney. I met the former, BTW. Super nice guy
	10:24am Roberto: Buckwood Nac!
	♥ 10:25am Krys O.: KP, I met Neil Innes also. He is incredibly nice and such a joy to see him play live.
	♥ 10:25am Jay Goges: Joe you're a mad scientist! Loving this set!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Havin' so much fun spinning these singles, Jay!
	♥ 10:26am tadpoles: Excellent KP...Neil Innes wrote one of my all time favorite songs.."The Equestrian Statue". Jealous that you met him. Cheers.
	10:26am Beast of Boonton: Lindsey Buckingham suing Fleetwood Mac for 12 million dollars in today's news
	10:27am kevlicki: Joe McG, and other DJs, how different is the size of your singles going steady playlist, from an average show?
	♥ 10:27am The Oscar: I saw Innes back in the early 2000s, in what I think he said was his first solo US show ever. Terrific show, and one of my favorite songwriters ever.
	10:28am annie: i lerve ken boothe
	10:28am Roberto: Dr. Evil voice: twelve MEELEEON dollars!
	♥ 10:28am Krys O.: HA! Interesting lyric change there....
	♥ 10:30am Krys O.: KP & Oscar, I saw Innes at B.B. Kings and Maxwell's. Yo La Tengo backed him up at the latter.
	♥ 10:31am Krys O.: KP & Oscar: Here's a link to some pics of the Innes meeting. www.angelfire.com...
	10:31am Vincent Nifigance: Joe "elastic bladder" McGasko.
	10:33am Lixiviated Life: I am neither steady nor single.
	♥ 10:33am joe: I just remembered that as a very very young child I thought it was Fleetwood Max
	10:38am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! I just did the thing :-)
	10:38am JakeGould: Morning Joe!
	10:39am Lixiviated Life: joe, i don't see you as much of a talker.
	♥ 10:39am Krys O.: Yes!!!
	10:39am Roberto: I saw Robert Blake working out in a gym once. He was kind of being a putz.
	♥ 10:40am Sem: Thank you, Joe. Merry, Merry, Merry.
	♥ 10:40am The Oscar: It's impossible for me to imagine latter-day Robert Blake without his spooky Lost Highway makeup. Even at the gym.
	10:42am Brendan: Keep your eye one the sparrow - thats the name of that tune ( to use a Tony Barettaism)
	♥ 10:43am Little Danny: Howdy Joe and everybody
	♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: Robert Blake was also one of the most unappealing Our Gang characters: little Mickey Gubitosi.
	♥ 10:45am steveo: 2 in a row with the year in the title!
	♥ 10:46am karlward: No Elvis?
	10:47am Roberto: No Beatles?
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: If the Undertones' "78 RPM" came on next, that wouldn't completely shock me.
	♥ 10:47am karlward: They can't really mean it!
	10:47am Lixiviated Life: The Clash. a majestic band of punks if ever
	♥ 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: No Slim Whitman?
	♥ 10:47am Tim 07030: This song was not exactly The Clash's high-water mark lyric or (especially) rhymewise
	10:48am Lixiviated Life: ... and Television
	♥ 10:48am Krys O.: Excellent transition!
	♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: "Ain't That Nothin'" was the catchiest thing on Adventure. Richard LLoyd solo. Some people prefer Adventure to Marquee Moon, but I just can't see it.
	♥ 10:50am Hughie Considine: Hmm..different fadeout in the single version...
	10:52am Beast of Boonton: Joe - Have you visited televisiontunes.com? It is huge archive of 32,189 TV theme songs - amazing
	♥ 10:53am steveo: severe chair dancing
	♥ 10:55am Krys O.: Holy smokes!! Our Daughters Wedding played all the time a the Left Bank club in Mount Vernon back then.
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Beast: No, I'll have to check that out!
	10:55am Davee: GREAT SHOW Joe!
	10:56am northguineahills: Our Daughters Wedding, new to me!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Davee: All Sngle File today! :)
	10:57am whattawino: ODW! A staple on the Hurrah dancefloor! Yay!
	♥ 10:58am The Oscar: FOOOOOOD FIIIIIGHT!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe and everyone. Did I miss Album File?
	♥ 10:59am tim from champaign: Food Fight is blowing my mind! How did I ever miss this?
	♥ 11:00am tim from champaign: Holy shit! Nit only did Village People do fake disco but they do fake punk too!
	11:00am Vincent Nifigance: Sad to say I am a veteran of zero food fights.
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: I saw the Village People at a local street fair a couple years back. They did not play "Food Fight," but not for lack of me screaming for it.
	11:02am Roberto: I really need to take a closer look at New Wave Village People.
	11:05am Listener Alexandra: Oh wow...great choice, Joe!
	11:06am Lixiviated Life: Heaven 17???? Flashback to WNYU New Afternoon Show circa 1980 something. yikes
	11:07am jess: love this! great 80s song.
	11:08am KP in DC: WDRE to be Indifferent
	11:08am Colleen: I always enjoy your show Joe....Nicely done!
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: Thanks, Colleen!
	♥ 11:09am Matt Fiveash: Bob Plant!
	♥ 11:10am steveo: brilliant show joe! (i am SHOCKED to find that i like the singles from my childhood years best :)
	♥ 11:11am Hughie Considine: Was this written about his pants?
	11:11am emily: Hey Joe, you're having too much fun. Are you sure this is legal or you won't go blind?
	11:11am SeanG: love this tune
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: @hughie: Ha ha ha
	11:12am Roberto: Roberto Planta!
	11:12am jess: I loved this Robert Plant. so good.
	♥ 11:12am Krys O.: Es Paranza
	11:13am Roberto: Does this dedication imply something about Daniel Blumin?
	♥ 11:13am Matt Fiveash: Also, I was on the subway for the 60s portion of the show- the MTA was such a clusterfuck this morning that it felt like I was on the train for the entire decade of the 1960s- but anyway: you are not the first WFMU DJ to play "Porpoise Song" and "The Dolphins" back-to-back.
	11:14am Bobby: I just tuned in, was not ready for Big Log
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Roberto: It's a favorite of his, he often plays it during Singles Going Steady week.
	♥ 11:15am karlward: There oughta be a log.
	♥ 11:16am The Oscar: One time when I was 12 I was served a cheeseburger at McDonald's where the server failed to add a beef patty. Any disappointment I may have felt was outweighed by the thrill of getting to actually ask that.
	11:16am northguineahills: Ok, coworkers think I'm crazy, I'm Lultzing!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign: Between Food Fight and Where's The Beef, you have made it extremely difficult for the other DJs to top you, Joe!
	11:16am Davee: Thanks for the Robert Plant!
	♥ 11:16am Tim 07030: @Krys I saw Our Daughter's Wedding at the Left Bank! And I own that 45, Joe.
	11:17am northguineahills: Nice, The Oscar!
	11:17am Davee: I think Clay needs that sound bite
	11:17am northguineahills: Classic REM!
	11:17am SeanG: nice to hear these tunes in context
	♥ 11:17am Hughie Considine: Seriously, one of the most R.E.M. of R.E.M. songs.
	11:18am Beast of Boonton: Driver ate
	♥ 11:18am The Oscar: Also, holy shit, I just realized there were TWO "Where's the Beef?" novelty singles in the '80s (The other was by Ruth Buzzi!)
	11:18am SeanG: jangle baby
	♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: Love Ruth Buzzi's early punkier stuff
	♥ 11:19am Goyim in the AM: Is there any producer credit on that "Where's the Beef"? It is interestingly non-terrible -- but given that it probably was recorded in Nashville, God knows dude could get good musicians.
	11:19am Roberto: Is there a Favoriters Anonymous?
	11:19am Jeff Moore: Damn, that "Where's the Beef?" song is a cultural throwback! Was that Wendy's commercial really that long ago, 1984?
	11:19am Brendan: Enjoying this REM from Rockville
	♥ 11:19am Tim 07030: REM had a massive backlog of great songs back in the beginning, I saw them on the Murmur tour and they were already playing Driver 8.
	11:20am jess: it's a trip through my teens
	11:21am Jeff Moore: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:21am Stanley: Hello Joe and assembled listeners. I'm home early waiting for a repair fella to inspect my windows. Expecting sharp suck of air between his teeth and a "it's going to cost you, mate"!
	♥ 11:21am Krys O.: I saw R.E.M. at Radio City Music Hall in 1985. They did a meet 'n' greet after the show and I was about seven feet away from them.
	♥ 11:21am joe: Bummer I was hopig we were going to get the Rappin Duke for 1984 :)
	♥ 11:22am BLCKDGRD: Kate, still love.
	11:22am prudy: thanks for including Kate Bush. I played the entire album over and over again when it came out.
	♥ 11:22am ChrisB.: Oh, those 80's drums...
	11:22am jess: kate!
	11:22am kudubundu: And then Kate Bush! Bliss.
	♥ 11:23am Krys O.: Probably the best sounds ever produced by the Fairlight.
	♥ 11:23am Irene Trudel: Kate!!!
	♥ 11:24am Stevel: Wow. That last hanging chord on Hounds of Love might be the same chord that opens Let's Go Crazy.
	♥ 11:24am Irene Trudel: And Voice of the Beehive!!!
	11:25am Mark in Toronto: Talk about distilling an artists entire output to just one song. I mean that in a good way.
	♥ 11:25am BLCKDGRD: Great segue! into VoB.....
	♥ 11:27am lukavino: what a tune, "I Say Nothing". wow.
	♥ 11:28am joe: THis kids got something he might go somewhere.
	11:28am jayjay: Just wondering..Is gated Reverb a felony or a misdemeanor?
	♥ 11:29am The Oscar: Echoing Steveo's sentiment earlier-- I was not expecting to get so heavily into the portion after I came onto the scene!
	11:29am Mark in Toronto: What singles year is this going to stop at? Maybe 2000?
	11:30am SeanG: first Wire song I heard
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Mark: We'll see how far we get! But around there.
	♥ 11:31am The Oscar: @Joe Whatever you don't get to can always be next week's single file!
	♥ 11:32am joe: That Robert Plant track was re discovery for me a few years ago. I love the guitar on it.
	11:32am Listener Alexandra: Okay, I seriously just realized this show is in chronological order. Clearly it's early and I need more tea....
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: That should have been a Top 40 hit.
	♥ 11:33am Goyim in the AM: Grabbed my bass for that one. Boy, is it fun to play.
	11:34am northguineahills: Well, you're faster then I am, Alexandra, I've been here for 2.5 hours, and didn't notice until you pointed it out.
	11:36am Listener Alexandra: @northgineahills working on my second cup right now!
	11:36am Brendan: Uh huh huh... he said Big Log from Robert Plant .. yeah. Shut up Butthead.
	11:37am RomanDogBird: heh heh heh heh yeah yeah yeah yeah
	11:37am Bobby: Ha good call, Joe
	♥ 11:37am Sem: Singles going steady in single file by year. Joe, amazing.
	11:38am northguineahills: @Alexandra: still on my first cup of yerba mate....
	11:40am mb: Amazing display of singles from the 1900's DJ Joe McGasko. Very nice.
	11:40am northguineahills: Sugar!
	♥ 11:40am Brian in UK: Was playing Sugar the other day. It does not date.
	♥ 11:40am Stevel: Sugar=Sofa King good.
	11:40am northguineahills: already pre-clickied!
	11:40am rw: Good morning! We're only three songs in but so far I don't know any of the songs from the '90s. I knew all the '80s though!
	♥ 11:40am lukavino: ahhh the opening notes to "Changes" can melt steel.
	11:40am David in London: Oh man, this is Bob Mould at next level genius.
	11:41am northguineahills: Joe played it 53 weeks ago!
	11:41am SeanG: saw these dudes at the 40watt back then
	11:41am Roberto: This is the only sugar I'd put in my coffee...
	♥ 11:41am tim from champaign: Not being into Sugar when they were around was a 90s mistake for me. I don't remember anymore why I didn't listen.
	11:42am northguineahills: I'm a 80s/90s kid, and so far, only the first three tracks this show are new to me (minus Our Daughters Wedding).
	11:43am johnk77: great show:> seang/the old 40 watt?
	11:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Tim-I lived on the Lower East Side and always discounted Yo La Tengo because I thought they were just another crappy salsa band. I was SO dumb.
	11:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Lower East Side of Manhattan that is. Avenue B (Clinton Street) and Houston.
	11:44am SeanG: yeah man Athens GA! 1992
	11:44am northguineahills: recognized the Lab even at the wrong speed (done it many times myself).
	♥ 11:44am Hughie Considine: From Sugar to French creme
	11:44am Carmichael: Yes! Stereolab!
	♥ 11:45am The Oscar: Aw, Lo Boob! Good call :)
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: I'm going to run out of time today. Question: Should I finish it up next week or skip it?
	♥ 11:47am lukavino: please finish next week!!
	11:48am Listener Alexandra: More next week, please!
	11:48am yobink: I vote finish!
	11:48am jayjay: II second that motion
	11:48am David in London: Be a starter-finisher Joe. We need to see this sucker through.
	11:48am rw: Joe you should bleed into Joe B's show. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
	♥ 11:48am lukavino: maybe finish and just skip single file then?
	11:48am northguineahills: what David said....
	11:48am Carmichael: Don't cut and run, Joe.
	♥ 11:49am Krys O.: More next week, please!
	♥ 11:50am tim from champaign: Joe, finish up next week, then work your way back in time.
	♥ 11:50am tadpoles: Just a great show today Joe and thanks for all the effort you put into it. Not easy when a lot of singles don't put the date on them.
	11:50am Marc Francis: Yep. Keep it going next week!
	11:50am Carmichael: Kenzo would say that, Tim
	♥ 11:50am Irene Trudel: Joe is the Surface Noise King! You're keeping me from doing some mundane shopping, but I don't mind. Loving today's show (as always).
	♥ 11:51am The Oscar: Or continue with singles that have yet to be recorded.
	11:51am listener Rey: Hey Joe. I’m on the west coast this week and missed most of the show :( The playlist looks stellar and I’ll be downloading the program just as soon as it’s available
	♥ 11:51am joe: Great ghow Joe Thank you
	11:51am Carmichael: Where u at, Rey?
	11:51am northguineahills: Classic FSA!
	♥ 11:51am tim from champaign: @Wild Neil - I can relate! With YLT I picked up President YLT when in came out, then always intended to get their next album but didn't get around to it until like 2006.
	♥ 11:52am 12539: More next week! Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:52am Krys O.: Brilliant, just brilliant show, Joe. Thank you so much.
	11:52am rw: Still don't know any of these '90s singles. I must have skipped over the '90s more than I had thought.
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My 15 year old son and I watched the Roku app for WFMU this weekend. He was like "is this ALL videos of obscure bands?" and I said "well, some of them are REGIONALLY known and some are known nationwide on the college radio charts.
	♥ 11:52am tim from champaign: Man, Flying Saucer Attack is sooo good. Great follow up tp Stereolab.
	♥ 11:53am Summer and Michael: Loving this Flying Saucer Attack single, Joe! Not familiar with their work. Gorgeous stuff! Thanks!
	♥ 11:53am joe: @wild neil if you watch the Survive videos close enough you can see the fire alarms go off because of their fog machine :)
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: OK, I'll finish up next week!
	11:54am SeanG: sounds like richard butler
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks for playing the round things with the big holes Joe! Without you we’d all have a big hole in our lives.
	11:55am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Joe-it would be great if you try to predict which songs will be songs in the future. Can you do that? Does FMU have that kind of equipment?
	♥ 11:55am steveo: thank you thank you!

	9:46am yobink: Baby it IS cold outside - 31 degrees in chilly Albuquerque NM this morning!
	♥ 9:46am tadpoles: It is still a wonder to me that all this magic is locked into these little slabs of plastic. Not quite the same feeling for mp3s I'm afraid.
	♥ 9:47am joe: You know I dont' know if I have ever heard this version of Baby I'ts Cold... or at least not to the extent of most other versoins
	9:47am Andrea in Jersey City: Wow this is the best version I have ever heard

	♥ 9:51am Brian in UK: Hey Joe (adopts John Lennon voice "I think you've passed the audition)
	♥ 9:52am pantz: Ah, this reminds me of one of the best albums I ever went out on a limb with, "More Than Mambo". No better way to start a day than with Afro-Cuban jazz.
	♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: @tadpoles mp3s are not tactile. Last Saturday was National Album day. As if it needed validation. www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 9:55am drr: I keep waiting for the gunshot sounds in this Sharpees track.
	9:58am Vincent Nifigance: Remember when singers were great singers?

	10:03am Dan Bodah: Sounding great, Joe. Loving the history of the single, and that Martin Denny is a big fave.
	10:03am KP in DC: Is this the Rutles?
	♥ 10:04am Brian in UK: You might say that Sgt Pepper validated the album.
	♥ 10:04am joe: This seems to be their only release
	10:04am Brendan: The verse rhythm is Like a Rolling Stone
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: Thanks, Dan, great to see you!

	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Irene: Great to see you at the Mini Record Fair!
	♥ 10:19am pantz: Love this Faces cover. Where's my lighter?!
	10:20am Will: Joe, You just played two of my favorite songs of all time in one set(Porpoise Songs and Now Be Thankful). Uncanny. Please don't play the Rita Coolidge version of Superstar or I might flip out.
	♥ 10:20am Krys O.: Singing along at my desk in the office. My co-worker is off today and I can play FMU at a respectable volume AND sing along if needed.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Will: Ha ha, you're lucky I left my Rita Coolidge at home! Thanks, Krys!
	10:22am KP in DC: Tadpoles, all Rutles songs are credited to Innes/Lennon-McCartney. I met the former, BTW. Super nice guy

	♥ 10:25am Jay Goges: Joe you're a mad scientist! Loving this set!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Havin' so much fun spinning these singles, Jay!
	♥ 10:26am tadpoles: Excellent KP...Neil Innes wrote one of my all time favorite songs.."The Equestrian Statue". Jealous that you met him. Cheers.
	10:26am Beast of Boonton: Lindsey Buckingham suing Fleetwood Mac for 12 million dollars in today's news
	10:27am kevlicki: Joe McG, and other DJs, how different is the size of your singles going steady playlist, from an average show?
	♥ 10:27am The Oscar: I saw Innes back in the early 2000s, in what I think he said was his first solo US show ever. Terrific show, and one of my favorite songwriters ever.
	10:28am annie: i lerve ken boothe
	10:28am Roberto: Dr. Evil voice: twelve MEELEEON dollars!
	♥ 10:28am Krys O.: HA! Interesting lyric change there....
	♥ 10:30am Krys O.: KP & Oscar, I saw Innes at B.B. Kings and Maxwell's. Yo La Tengo backed him up at the latter.
	♥ 10:31am Krys O.: KP & Oscar: Here's a link to some pics of the Innes meeting. www.angelfire.com...
	10:31am Vincent Nifigance: Joe "elastic bladder" McGasko.

	10:38am JakeGould: Morning Joe!
	10:39am Lixiviated Life: joe, i don't see you as much of a talker.
	♥ 10:39am Krys O.: Yes!!!
	10:39am Roberto: I saw Robert Blake working out in a gym once. He was kind of being a putz.
	♥ 10:40am Sem: Thank you, Joe. Merry, Merry, Merry.
	♥ 10:40am The Oscar: It's impossible for me to imagine latter-day Robert Blake without his spooky Lost Highway makeup. Even at the gym.
	10:42am Brendan: Keep your eye one the sparrow - thats the name of that tune ( to use a Tony Barettaism)
	♥ 10:43am Little Danny: Howdy Joe and everybody
	♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: Robert Blake was also one of the most unappealing Our Gang characters: little Mickey Gubitosi.
	♥ 10:45am steveo: 2 in a row with the year in the title!
	♥ 10:46am karlward: No Elvis?
	10:47am Roberto: No Beatles?
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: If the Undertones' "78 RPM" came on next, that wouldn't completely shock me.
	♥ 10:47am karlward: They can't really mean it!
	10:47am Lixiviated Life: The Clash. a majestic band of punks if ever
	♥ 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: No Slim Whitman?
	♥ 10:47am Tim 07030: This song was not exactly The Clash's high-water mark lyric or (especially) rhymewise
	10:48am Lixiviated Life: ... and Television
	♥ 10:48am Krys O.: Excellent transition!
	♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: "Ain't That Nothin'" was the catchiest thing on Adventure. Richard LLoyd solo. Some people prefer Adventure to Marquee Moon, but I just can't see it.
	♥ 10:50am Hughie Considine: Hmm..different fadeout in the single version...
	10:52am Beast of Boonton: Joe - Have you visited televisiontunes.com? It is huge archive of 32,189 TV theme songs - amazing
	♥ 10:53am steveo: severe chair dancing
	♥ 10:55am Krys O.: Holy smokes!! Our Daughters Wedding played all the time a the Left Bank club in Mount Vernon back then.
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Beast: No, I'll have to check that out!
	10:55am Davee: GREAT SHOW Joe!
	10:56am northguineahills: Our Daughters Wedding, new to me!

	10:57am whattawino: ODW! A staple on the Hurrah dancefloor! Yay!
	♥ 10:58am The Oscar: FOOOOOOD FIIIIIGHT!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe and everyone. Did I miss Album File?
	♥ 10:59am tim from champaign: Food Fight is blowing my mind! How did I ever miss this?
	♥ 11:00am tim from champaign: Holy shit! Nit only did Village People do fake disco but they do fake punk too!
	11:00am Vincent Nifigance: Sad to say I am a veteran of zero food fights.
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: I saw the Village People at a local street fair a couple years back. They did not play "Food Fight," but not for lack of me screaming for it.
	11:02am Roberto: I really need to take a closer look at New Wave Village People.
	11:05am Listener Alexandra: Oh wow...great choice, Joe!
	11:06am Lixiviated Life: Heaven 17???? Flashback to WNYU New Afternoon Show circa 1980 something. yikes

	♥ 11:10am steveo: brilliant show joe! (i am SHOCKED to find that i like the singles from my childhood years best :)
	♥ 11:11am Hughie Considine: Was this written about his pants?
	11:11am emily: Hey Joe, you're having too much fun. Are you sure this is legal or you won't go blind?
	11:11am SeanG: love this tune
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: @hughie: Ha ha ha
	11:12am Roberto: Roberto Planta!
	11:12am jess: I loved this Robert Plant. so good.
	♥ 11:12am Krys O.: Es Paranza
	11:13am Roberto: Does this dedication imply something about Daniel Blumin?
	♥ 11:13am Matt Fiveash: Also, I was on the subway for the 60s portion of the show- the MTA was such a clusterfuck this morning that it felt like I was on the train for the entire decade of the 1960s- but anyway: you are not the first WFMU DJ to play "Porpoise Song" and "The Dolphins" back-to-back.
	11:14am Bobby: I just tuned in, was not ready for Big Log
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Roberto: It's a favorite of his, he often plays it during Singles Going Steady week.
	♥ 11:15am karlward: There oughta be a log.
	♥ 11:16am The Oscar: One time when I was 12 I was served a cheeseburger at McDonald's where the server failed to add a beef patty. Any disappointment I may have felt was outweighed by the thrill of getting to actually ask that.
	11:16am northguineahills: Ok, coworkers think I'm crazy, I'm Lultzing!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign: Between Food Fight and Where's The Beef, you have made it extremely difficult for the other DJs to top you, Joe!
	11:16am Davee: Thanks for the Robert Plant!
	♥ 11:16am Tim 07030: @Krys I saw Our Daughter's Wedding at the Left Bank! And I own that 45, Joe.
	11:17am northguineahills: Nice, The Oscar!
	11:17am Davee: I think Clay needs that sound bite
	11:17am northguineahills: Classic REM!
	11:17am SeanG: nice to hear these tunes in context
	♥ 11:17am Hughie Considine: Seriously, one of the most R.E.M. of R.E.M. songs.
	11:18am Beast of Boonton: Driver ate
	♥ 11:18am The Oscar: Also, holy shit, I just realized there were TWO "Where's the Beef?" novelty singles in the '80s (The other was by Ruth Buzzi!)
	11:18am SeanG: jangle baby
	♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: Love Ruth Buzzi's early punkier stuff
	♥ 11:19am Goyim in the AM: Is there any producer credit on that "Where's the Beef"? It is interestingly non-terrible -- but given that it probably was recorded in Nashville, God knows dude could get good musicians.
	11:19am Roberto: Is there a Favoriters Anonymous?
	11:19am Jeff Moore: Damn, that "Where's the Beef?" song is a cultural throwback! Was that Wendy's commercial really that long ago, 1984?
	11:19am Brendan: Enjoying this REM from Rockville

	♥ 11:21am Krys O.: I saw R.E.M. at Radio City Music Hall in 1985. They did a meet 'n' greet after the show and I was about seven feet away from them.

	♥ 11:24am Irene Trudel: And Voice of the Beehive!!!
	11:25am Mark in Toronto: Talk about distilling an artists entire output to just one song. I mean that in a good way.

	11:32am Listener Alexandra: Okay, I seriously just realized this show is in chronological order. Clearly it's early and I need more tea....
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: That should have been a Top 40 hit.

	11:41am Roberto: This is the only sugar I'd put in my coffee...

	11:42am northguineahills: I'm a 80s/90s kid, and so far, only the first three tracks this show are new to me (minus Our Daughters Wedding).

	11:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Tim-I lived on the Lower East Side and always discounted Yo La Tengo because I thought they were just another crappy salsa band. I was SO dumb.

	11:50am Carmichael: Kenzo would say that, Tim

	♥ 11:52am Krys O.: Brilliant, just brilliant show, Joe. Thank you so much.
	11:52am rw: Still don't know any of these '90s singles. I must have skipped over the '90s more than I had thought.
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My 15 year old son and I watched the Roku app for WFMU this weekend. He was like "is this ALL videos of obscure bands?" and I said "well, some of them are REGIONALLY known and some are known nationwide on the college radio charts.
	♥ 11:52am tim from champaign: Man, Flying Saucer Attack is sooo good. Great follow up tp Stereolab.

	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: OK, I'll finish up next week!
	11:54am SeanG: sounds like richard butler
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks for playing the round things with the big holes Joe! Without you we’d all have a big hole in our lives.
	11:55am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Joe-it would be great if you try to predict which songs will be songs in the future. Can you do that? Does FMU have that kind of equipment?
