	♥ 9:25am The Oscar: The question becomes, how shooby will this set get?
	♥ 9:25am Andrew Waterloo: 6 out of 10 Shoobies
	♥ 9:29am Andrew Waterloo: Unless she's playing air saxophone. Then 7 our of 10.
	♥ 9:30am The Oscar: Ha, THERE HE IS!!!
	♥ 9:30am MD: "CAN YOU DIG IT!?" immortal WFMU words to live by! GOOD MORNING FREEFORM ARMY!!!
	♥ 9:31am Webhamster Henry: Paging Dan Bodah!
	♥ 9:35am Granny Spicy Tuna: I can dig it. But, drat! I missed the whole scat set?!?!?
	9:38am listener Rey: Gotta admit I’m not so crazy about scatting but love vocalese
	♥ 9:38am MD: I am all scat---tered now! SHADOOBEY!!!
	♥ 9:39am karlward: +1 on whittling down Sandanista.
	♥ 9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Throat singing scat — that's where it's at!
	9:39am MplsCoco: I never knew scat was a love language... hmmmm. No wonder I'm a natural scatter.
	9:40am randyfrommichigan: I listened to last week's White Album discussion last night, loved it. Anyone else hear it?
	9:40am davefromtoronto: yeah i did!
	♥ 9:41am Granny Spicy Tuna: It's taboo to speak of the White Album in this program.
	♥ 9:41am kuchen: More weird noises that people make with their mouths? There's also tomorrow's Garbage Time show.
	♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park: Throat singing scat auctioneer yodeling, actually, but I digress.
	9:41am glenn: i listened to white album hijinks yesterday. fabuloso.
	9:41am randyfrommichigan: LOL was hoping you'd be there bro :)
	♥ 9:41am The Oscar: I would actually love a whittled-down Sandinista. Great album, but there's just so much of it!
	9:42am davefromtoronto: ha - i'll be sending you the CORRECT version of the one sided white album soon...
	♥ 9:42am Webhamster Henry: Dead Dog's Eyeball was WFMU staple in the 90s!
	♥ 9:42am MD: MOO!
	♥ 9:43am pantz: Great Johnstyon cover! It rivals fIREHOSE
	♥ 9:43am Rich in Washington: I love this album!
	9:43am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto thanks for recommending it, really enjoyed it, and can't believe Amanda participated with me! She actually said there are only 5 songs that should have been released, and should have just put them on other albums and not released the White Album!
	♥ 9:43am MD: GREAT RECK-ID!!!
	♥ 9:44am Granny Spicy Tuna: I've seen suggestions in other chat parades that the whittling of Sandanista! should happen during the spring fundraiser. Listeners can pay/bribe the DJs for their picks!
	9:44am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto great look forward to seeing your ahem "corrected" version :)
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: Several years ago, I came across a working pump organ on the sidewalk and dragged it back to my apartment. Naturally, this was the song I used to christen it :)
	9:44am Mikey_B: wow this is good
	9:44am davefromtoronto: can't say i disagree - probably my least fave bottles album.
	♥ 9:46am Granny Spicy Tuna: I still have wild fantasies of a Daniel Johnston cover album by Nick Cave and the Badseeds.
	9:46am prudy: vintage FM. Thanks Joe!
	♥ 9:46am MD: Sandanista it Perfect! It goes on and on...just like War!
	9:47am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto yeah I think I agree with Amanda, White Album has a few great songs, a bunch of okay songs, and a bunch of garbage
	♥ 9:47am karlward: Fleetwood Mac covering Daniel Johnston.
	♥ 9:47am karlward: Scratch that. I meant Hall & Oates covering Daniel Johnston.
	♥ 9:48am MD: @ karlward....YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND!!!!
	♥ 9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: ONJ covering H&O covering FM covering DJ.
	♥ 9:48am MD: There is now a Pain Between my ears!!!
	9:49am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto I told Amanda she needs to help me tackle editing EJ's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road into a single album ... I think that would be much tougher at least for me ... I think most of the songs are good if not great
	♥ 9:49am The Oscar: It's too bad the stars didn't align for Bowie to participate in the DJ covers album some time back. That would've been something to hear.
	♥ 9:49am MD: MORE SNARE DRUM!!!
	♥ 9:50am Krys O.: THANK YOU FOR THE ROBERT PALMER!
	9:50am Andrew in Etobicoke: Thanks for the Robert P!
	♥ 9:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: OK, for the fundraiser, every show can whittle a different multi-record album. Who'll tackle "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?"
	♥ 9:51am MD: I am so glad the use of the Gated Reverb on the Snare went away!!! Not to put this song down...Great POP...
	♥ 9:52am Rich in Washington: This is Robert Palmer's most Prince sounding song ever. I love this album. It's got his excellent cover of Gary Numan's I Dream of Wires on it.
	9:53am Andrew in Etobicoke: Check out the Woke Up Laughing cd.
	♥ 9:53am melinda: I remember RP hopping around on a giant keyboard in the video for this.
	♥ 9:54am karlward: Descloux, it must be super dance hit time.
	♥ 9:55am queems: what a party i just walked into
	9:56am McGreivey: EASY.... Love Lies Bleeding, Bennie and the Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Jamaica Jerk-Off, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. DONE
	♥ 9:56am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'm dancing! And now my cats are glaring at me.
	♥ 9:57am Granny Spicy Tuna: queems! You have been summoned by this excellent disco beat!
	♥ 9:59am queems: @granny it's the best way to face the world on a monday
	10:00am βrian: I've found that cats love to dance.
	♥ 10:00am Granny Spicy Tuna: At a Redd Kross show in the early 90s they blew my mind by performing "Funeral For A friend/Love Lies Bleeding." It was one of the highlights of my entire life.
	10:00am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:01am Rev. Turnip Druid: Missed my spirit animal (cab calloway)! Punching self extravagantly INNAFACE!
	10:03am randyfrommichigan: @McGreivey wow you are missing a few great songs: Harmony, Ballad Of Danny Bailey, Sweet Painted Lady, Roy Rogers, All The Young Girls Love Alice, and only cuz it's short and sweet - This Song Has No Title
	10:04am randyfrommichigan: @granny wow that's cool. I saw EJ perform FFAF/LLB several times live, starting in '74 in Toronto, mostly recently this fall in Detroit, I never get tired of it performed live!
	♥ 10:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: Never seen EJ live, nor most of the big names. Huge venues don't work well for my taste. Only Prince was able to make it work for me in that regard.
	10:09am Marc Francis: A Certain Ratio getting into the acid house scene. Love it.
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe and everybody!
	10:13am randyfrommichigan: never heard of A Certain Ratio ... that was a great song, reminds me of Depeche Mode, just added it to my Spotify
	10:16am randyfrommichigan: @granny I agree about smaller venues but not often possible for the big names. I did get to see EJ play a small venue in '79, just him on piano plus Ray Cooper on percussion. Lucky you got to see Prince, me too, Purple Rain tour. My wife was able to see Prince at a small venue in Detroit around '81 before he got big, Vanity 6 and The Time opened up!
	♥ 10:17am mcgreivey: @randyfrommichigan maybe. But I don't know those songs. I haven't listen to the whole album since I was 12. Sometimes it helps to have an editor who has no sentimental attachment, like a sociopathic president, or a driver's ed instructor.
	♥ 10:19am Granny Spicy Tuna: Biggest name/smallest venue for me was when Stevie Wonder came out during a George Clinton show at Bimbo's in San Francisco. I think the whole building lifted off the ground.
	♥ 10:20am Sem: Hello and good morning, Joe, McGaskoes everywhere, and those keen on noise, surface and otherwise.
	♥ 10:21am queems: oh this one is excellent
	10:23am randyfrommichigan: @mcgreivey great comment! Yes my 13 year old daughter was my editor for the White Album. She has no sentimental attachment for the old stuff unlike me, that's why I want her to do EJ's GYBR with me. I've heard every song probably hundreds of times since I got the album when I was 14. But seriously check out the songs I mentioned, they are really good, sentimentality aside!!
	♥ 10:23am queems: i was thinking that the last one sounded like kings of convenience!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @queems: I knew they reminded me of somebody, and I remembered who!
	10:24am ignatatus666: Love this. I always hear music on WFMU that I never discovered before.
	10:25am randyfrommichigan: @granny wow that must have been amazing! I have seen Stevie Wonder in concert four times, what a talent he is.
	10:25am KP in DC: Hello Joe from washed out Washington DC
	♥ 10:27am queems: @joe i checked the accu to make sure it wasn't actually them. i love all of these whispery dudes today
	10:29am Fernando P: Hi Joe! This set has touched me in so many places. Great one!
	♥ 10:30am Granny Spicy Tuna: Freeform radio: where not even the DJ knows what's gonna happen next!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Fernando! Good to see you! And ignatatus, GST, KP, Sem, all you nice folks. Thanks for joining me today.
	10:37am randyfrommichigan: @granny yes i agree re freeform radio! My brother turned me on to WFMU recently, it's my first experience with freeform.
	♥ 10:39am Granny Spicy Tuna: @randyfrommichigan welcome to the madness! Seems like you're enjoying it aplenty.
	10:39am Brian in New Orleans: was that Ozzy Osbourne on lead vocals?
	♥ 10:41am The Oscar: !!!!!!
	10:41am randyfrommichigan: oops I take that back, WFMU is my second experience with freeform radio, I have been listening to www.radioparadise.com occasionally for over 15 years, it's also excellent.
	♥ 10:41am queems: WOW
	♥ 10:41am Planet Tyler: Did she pogo out on him?
	♥ 10:42am Dominick: what the what?
	♥ 10:42am queems: what a jam
	10:42am Andrew in Etobicoke: No kidding!!! 1978?
	♥ 10:42am Stevel: She pogoed my heart and... er...
	♥ 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Are these your records or from the WFMU library?
	♥ 10:42am Matt Fiveash: Wow. I'm not easily flabbergasted, but wow.
	10:43am PKNY: More like Sheena is a Yacht Rocker!
	10:43am randyfrommichigan: @granny thanks! yes i'm enjoying it ... some of the music I find hard to tolerate and have to avoid my typical urge to switch away ... is helping me increase my patience and open my mind to new things.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @PKNY: Ha ha! @Matt: The B-side is "Pretty Vacant." @Harry: All MINE!
	♥ 10:43am Sem: @PKNY: spot on.
	♥ 10:43am tim from champaign: Hi everyone. How did you find this Joe?!?! And how did punk get co-opted to disco so quickly?
	10:44am randyfrommichigan: I've never heard Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, I'm assuming this isn't the original, I'm guessing originally was by The Ramones or some other punk band?
	♥ 10:44am Maggie B.: I'm just tuning in but I think I'm having a stroke!
	♥ 10:44am Stevel: PKNY FTW!
	♥ 10:44am tadpoles: Always loved this Paul Jones...thanks Joe.
	♥ 10:44am The Oscar: This is OUTSTANDING.
	10:44am davefromtoronto: wow the castrated version!
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: @Joe McG good taste!
	♥ 10:44am Dominick: Koko approves
	10:45am randyfrommichigan: @PKNY LOL!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Maggie: Ha ha ha! I love that Manfred Mann's singer felt the need to cover the Ramones. Produced by Tim Rice!
	10:46am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto LOL! I'll have to find and listen to the original (once Sly is done) so I have a point of reference.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: i just listened to it on spotify and came back to the show and THAT was playing - no s**t!
	♥ 10:47am The Oscar: Sly Stone has outlived multiple generations of his followers. At this point it almost feels like a clerical error.
	♥ 10:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: OK, for the fundraiser, Sheila B will whittle Sandanista!, Fabio will jackhammer Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Matt Warwick will chop down The Wall. What else? And, @randyfrommichigan, please stick around and keep commenting, you're briliant.
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @The Oscar: Must be preservatives.
	10:48am Irene: Two extremes! That version of Sheena is as ridiculous as the Wizzard song was sublime. Always loved Roy Wood’s voice and find it surprising that he isn’t as big a deal as former ELO bandmate Jeff Lynn. Great song that I wasn’t familiar with.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @irene: I hope to do an all Roy Wood single file one of these days!
	♥ 10:52am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:52am randyfrommichigan: @granny thanks for your very kind welcome :)
	10:52am David in London: Master Meters. The Zig was truly awesome behind the drum kit.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @David: A Monster! In the best way.
	10:54am davefromtoronto: randyfrommichigan if you haven't seen the ramones doc "end of the century" check it out it's really good.
	10:54am randyfrommichigan: Saturday Night Fever, but I think it's a simple job for a saw, just cut off Album 1 Side 1, save that, throw the rest away, maybe could make a side 2 out of a few of the other songs that didn't suck?
	♥ 10:55am Stevel: "Ess-key mo"
	♥ 10:56am pantz: That's George Jones for Eskimo Pies. A treat so nice even George shows up for em!
	10:56am Lewis: for some reason, I always think that George Jones is Buck Owens... must be that Bakersfield Sound...
	10:57am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto OK I don't like the Ramones at all but will I will check it out if you say it's good. I just watched the 2 part HBO doc on Elvis, Rachel asked me to watch with her, I never liked Elvis but it was an excellent doc and now I have a new found appreciation for him. You should watch it if you haven't seen it.
	♥ 10:57am Asheville Jon: ha, haven't heard this in a few lifetimes. nice
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @pantz: Hilarious! Definite lost opportunity for the Eskimo Pie people.
	10:57am melinda: 80s blast!
	10:58am randyfrommichigan: I love The Meters, that song was most excellent
	♥ 10:58am Granny Spicy Tuna: Joe McG: in all sincerity, that White Out Massacree last week is one of the Top 10 radio highlights of my entire life. I haven't laughed so hard since i can't remember when. Thank you forever and ever.
	10:58am KP in DC: Is Ten Pole Tudor a Wun Hit Wonder?
	♥ 10:58am steveo: Hey speaking of the White Album: inspired by your hijinks last week, I discovered Uncle Michael's all-cover version from earlier this year. Some real gems & a lot of fun. Playlist: wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @GST: Wow, Granny, that's so cool. I'm so glad so many people enjoyed it! Jim and I had a blast doing it.
	11:00am randyfrommichigan: @granny The Wall is a great choice to edit, a few great songs and lots of sub-par stuff.
	11:01am Brendan: RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Good morning.
	♥ 11:01am Webhamster Henry: and it's good to get Jim Price on the air for more than a minute at a time.
	11:01am Listener Alexandra: Happy last full week of 2018, Joe! And can't wait to see you take The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway down to a five song EP ;-)
	♥ 11:01am Webhamster Henry: WFMU co-hosting is always a treat!
	11:02am randyfrommichigan: @Joe McG my brother and I had been debating how to edit the White Album back in August, so he called me yesterday and said I needed to listen to your show, so my daughter and I listened to it last night and we sent our comments to my brother via email. Loved your show!
	♥ 11:02am Matt Fiveash: Haha!
	♥ 11:02am The Oscar: Man, I would have put this on every single mix disc I made in high school if I'd known about it.
	11:02am PKNY: Pretty Yachty!
	♥ 11:03am Asheville Jon: wow, ultra-cheese Pretty Vacant. is there a Muzak version?
	♥ 11:03am rsj: No way this is random
	11:03am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Alexandra I totally agree re Lamb Lies Down On Broadway! :)
	♥ 11:03am Krys O.: Laid back Paul Jones reminds me of Mike Flowers Pop.
	♥ 11:03am tim from champaign: Oh wow!
	11:03am prudy: this is ..hate to say it... awesome cover.
	♥ 11:03am tadpoles: Thanks Joe..."We know what we feel."
	11:03am David in London: Joe, you’re killing me me softly (with Paul Jones’ song).
	♥ 11:04am Granny Spicy Tuna: @steveo, thanks! Gotta check that out. Uncle Michael's "chain" was a mindblowing radio experience for me, too.
	♥ 11:04am Dominick: Smooth
	♥ 11:04am Maggie B.: My office mates don't understand why I'm hysterical. This stuff is AWESOME Joe!!
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign: Joe, you need to do an all schlocky punk covers Single File!
	11:04am Lewis: In the Paul Jones vein (sort of), Tracy Thornton did a thing call Pan for Punks -> Ramones on Steel Drum
	♥ 11:04am Planet Tyler: This is...some sort of treat?
	♥ 11:04am Stevel: Tim makes a strong point.
	♥ 11:05am The Oscar: The Making Love Pistols
	11:05am Listener Alexandra: @randyfrommichigan @JoeMcG it's that or Sandinista ;-)
	11:05am zopa: Nuts! I missed Tenpole Tudor.
	11:05am PKNY: @Oscar - I think 'whoopie' matches the sonics better!
	♥ 11:06am The Oscar: @PKNY Dammit, you're right-- this is punk for the Match Game set!
	11:06am Switchblade Batman: I really want to know if Paul Jones was being ironic or if he was sincere in those covers
	11:07am randyfrommichigan: never heard of Paul Jones, very smooth and yachty, he's not on Spotify, will Google him
	11:08am βrian: Whenever somebody says Yacht Rock, I hear Yat-Kha.
	♥ 11:08am Asheville Jon: post a pic of this cover!
	♥ 11:09am Asheville Jon: found a pic: images.45cat.com...
	11:10am randyfrommichigan: @asheville jon thanks for sharing the cover, I was just going to search for it
	11:10am Listener Scott: Just coming here to acknowledge @PKNY's superbly executed Sheena/yacht rock joke.
	11:12am KP in DC: There’s a 101 Strings type Ramones record
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: KAMIKAZEEEEEEEE!
	11:15am Parq: Aw, Christmas Eve with Matt and Amanda. What could be more romantic?
	11:16am P-90: Cool fill-ins coming up
	11:16am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Scott great catch about @PKNY's Sheena/yacht rock joke, totally went over my head when first posted, had to think about it!
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: Whoa! What is this?
	11:21am randyfrommichigan: @Switchblade Batman I was thinking the same thing
	11:22am Brendan: That was either Portron Portron Lopez , Boutros Boutros Ghali,or Sirhan Sirhan. I’m going with A.
	♥ 11:24am The Oscar: Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam next?
	11:25am BonjourHi: That is a very a propos song being feeling lonely in my office!
	♥ 11:25am Granny Spicy Tuna: Folx, Paul Jones was the singer on "Doo Wah Diddy," so my guess is he's quite capable of belting it out when he wants.
	11:26am David in London: @Brendan, I think you missed Yo Yo Ma as answer D.
	11:27am ami ad: Good day D.J. Joe,good day all.Hope all is well and warm at the magic factory. Thanks for the music.
	♥ 11:28am Granny Spicy Tuna: Apparently (according to interwebs), Paul Jones was also asked to be the singer for a band being formed by Keith Richards and Brian Jones, but he turned it down.
	♥ 11:28am Krys O.: Paul Jones was also an actor in the film Privilege, an allegorical story of a rock star's life. Crikey, the man sang Pretty Flamingo and so much other stuff. Mike d'Abo is also excellent in his own right.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Hey ami! Great to see you! Hope you have a great end of year.
	11:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: YAY THIS HERE THING.
	11:30am Andrew in Etobicoke: d`Abo is great Krys.
	♥ 11:31am The Oscar: Ironically, I'm pretty sure I've accidentally referred to at least two Sex Pistols members as "Paul Jones" in the past.
	11:31am Andrew in Etobicoke: He wrote Handbags and Gladrags.
	11:34am Brendan: Nice Dr. Who synth
	♥ 11:36am pantz: This has some very Rick Wakeman-like vibes.
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @pantz: Except for the angry French lady.
	♥ 11:38am pantz: HA! Mon Dieu!
	11:39am Brendan: Okay okay I wasn’t stealing your baguette. I’ll pay - really!
	11:39am βrian: Elle porte un gilet jaune.
	11:40am randyfrommichigan: @Brendan LOL!
	11:40am David in London: I think she was actually Portuguese.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @David: That's true!
	11:41am David in London: My mistake, French of Portuguese extraction.
	11:41am randyfrommichigan: she sounds really pissed off
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @randy: She is. Pissed at the government, at industry, at the war machine.
	11:42am Fashion Tashjian: Hot damn, loving this. Just what I needed to prepare for a conference call.
	11:42am Brendan: I think we all better disperse. She said she’s calling the cops.
	11:43am heyitschris: I may play this next time i want my guests to leave. ;^)
	11:44am BonjourHi: gosh I always thought she was unbearable
	11:44am rw: Good morning! Was going to comment about the angry woman here but you guys all beat me to it with much better senses of humor.
	11:44am βrian: She had an earlier incarnation as a yéyé singer.
	11:44am David in London: She’s about to tear gas us.
	11:44am Parq: To paraphrase the 2000 year old man, what is she hollering??
	♥ 11:45am The Oscar: @heyitschris I used to have a particularly extreme unaccompanied Yoko track on hand in college for that exact purpose-- and it worked many times!
	♥ 11:45am pantz: Le meow. Le purrrrr
	11:45am Brendan: Definitely not in the hospitality industry.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: this is scary.
	♥ 11:46am Devin B.: Also a later incarnation doing Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel tunes
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Parq: She just finished descrying the unholy trio heading the French government circa 1975.
	11:47am jayjay in MTL: Plus capable. Elle augmente mon niveau de stress.
	11:47am ami ad: Thank you thank you. Same to you D.J. Joe. Keep it Freedom...
	11:47am randyfrommichigan: doing her french yoko ono impression now
	11:47am Parq: Joe -- oh, that again?
	11:48am Mike Wolf: Even the name Ribeiro is a killing weapon
	11:48am rw: I like it, it's just not your typical Surface Noise.
	♥ 11:49am steveo: seems about right for a Monday
	♥ 11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna: She's pissed because Joe and Jim cut "Savoy Truffle."
	11:50am Brendan: Wow hell hath no fury like a constituent scorned. Sounds like she could reenact Bastille Day as a one woman show w/ a meat cleaver.
	♥ 11:50am pantz: Nice Dune reference @Mike Wolf
	♥ 11:50am Krys O.: Elle crie super fort!
	11:50am chapelhillina: I'm reminded of Toussaint L'Ouverture by the Swans
	11:50am David in London: Ah, she’s now doing the ‘dentist drill’ vocal.
	11:50am randyfrommichigan: @Brendan good one!
	♥ 11:51am tim from champaign: This is sooo goood. Was it Numero or Superior Viaduct that re-issued a Ribeiro + Alpes record?
	11:51am randyfrommichigan: @Granny LOL!!!!
	11:51am jayjay in MTL: as they say 'ça fait du bien quand ça s'arrete'
	11:53am randyfrommichigan: @jayjay exactement - je suis d'accord :)
	11:53am David in London: Joe, we need Kenneth Williams doing ‘Ma Crepe Suzette.’

	♥ 9:29am Andrew Waterloo: Unless she's playing air saxophone. Then 7 our of 10.
	♥ 9:30am The Oscar: Ha, THERE HE IS!!!
	♥ 9:30am MD: "CAN YOU DIG IT!?" immortal WFMU words to live by! GOOD MORNING FREEFORM ARMY!!!
	♥ 9:31am Webhamster Henry: Paging Dan Bodah!
	♥ 9:35am Granny Spicy Tuna: I can dig it. But, drat! I missed the whole scat set?!?!?
	9:38am listener Rey: Gotta admit I’m not so crazy about scatting but love vocalese
	♥ 9:38am MD: I am all scat---tered now! SHADOOBEY!!!
	♥ 9:39am karlward: +1 on whittling down Sandanista.
	♥ 9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Throat singing scat — that's where it's at!
	9:39am MplsCoco: I never knew scat was a love language... hmmmm. No wonder I'm a natural scatter.
	9:40am randyfrommichigan: I listened to last week's White Album discussion last night, loved it. Anyone else hear it?
	9:40am davefromtoronto: yeah i did!
	♥ 9:41am Granny Spicy Tuna: It's taboo to speak of the White Album in this program.
	♥ 9:41am kuchen: More weird noises that people make with their mouths? There's also tomorrow's Garbage Time show.
	♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park: Throat singing scat auctioneer yodeling, actually, but I digress.
	9:41am glenn: i listened to white album hijinks yesterday. fabuloso.
	9:41am randyfrommichigan: LOL was hoping you'd be there bro :)
	♥ 9:41am The Oscar: I would actually love a whittled-down Sandinista. Great album, but there's just so much of it!
	9:42am davefromtoronto: ha - i'll be sending you the CORRECT version of the one sided white album soon...
	♥ 9:42am Webhamster Henry: Dead Dog's Eyeball was WFMU staple in the 90s!
	♥ 9:42am MD: MOO!
	♥ 9:43am pantz: Great Johnstyon cover! It rivals fIREHOSE
	♥ 9:43am Rich in Washington: I love this album!
	9:43am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto thanks for recommending it, really enjoyed it, and can't believe Amanda participated with me! She actually said there are only 5 songs that should have been released, and should have just put them on other albums and not released the White Album!
	♥ 9:43am MD: GREAT RECK-ID!!!
	♥ 9:44am Granny Spicy Tuna: I've seen suggestions in other chat parades that the whittling of Sandanista! should happen during the spring fundraiser. Listeners can pay/bribe the DJs for their picks!
	9:44am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto great look forward to seeing your ahem "corrected" version :)
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: Several years ago, I came across a working pump organ on the sidewalk and dragged it back to my apartment. Naturally, this was the song I used to christen it :)
	9:44am Mikey_B: wow this is good
	9:44am davefromtoronto: can't say i disagree - probably my least fave bottles album.
	♥ 9:46am Granny Spicy Tuna: I still have wild fantasies of a Daniel Johnston cover album by Nick Cave and the Badseeds.
	9:46am prudy: vintage FM. Thanks Joe!
	♥ 9:46am MD: Sandanista it Perfect! It goes on and on...just like War!
	9:47am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto yeah I think I agree with Amanda, White Album has a few great songs, a bunch of okay songs, and a bunch of garbage
	♥ 9:47am karlward: Fleetwood Mac covering Daniel Johnston.
	♥ 9:47am karlward: Scratch that. I meant Hall & Oates covering Daniel Johnston.
	♥ 9:48am MD: @ karlward....YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND!!!!
	♥ 9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: ONJ covering H&O covering FM covering DJ.
	♥ 9:48am MD: There is now a Pain Between my ears!!!
	9:49am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto I told Amanda she needs to help me tackle editing EJ's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road into a single album ... I think that would be much tougher at least for me ... I think most of the songs are good if not great
	♥ 9:49am The Oscar: It's too bad the stars didn't align for Bowie to participate in the DJ covers album some time back. That would've been something to hear.
	♥ 9:49am MD: MORE SNARE DRUM!!!
	♥ 9:50am Krys O.: THANK YOU FOR THE ROBERT PALMER!
	9:50am Andrew in Etobicoke: Thanks for the Robert P!
	♥ 9:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: OK, for the fundraiser, every show can whittle a different multi-record album. Who'll tackle "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?"
	♥ 9:51am MD: I am so glad the use of the Gated Reverb on the Snare went away!!! Not to put this song down...Great POP...
	♥ 9:52am Rich in Washington: This is Robert Palmer's most Prince sounding song ever. I love this album. It's got his excellent cover of Gary Numan's I Dream of Wires on it.
	9:53am Andrew in Etobicoke: Check out the Woke Up Laughing cd.
	♥ 9:53am melinda: I remember RP hopping around on a giant keyboard in the video for this.
	♥ 9:54am karlward: Descloux, it must be super dance hit time.
	♥ 9:55am queems: what a party i just walked into
	9:56am McGreivey: EASY.... Love Lies Bleeding, Bennie and the Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Jamaica Jerk-Off, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. DONE
	♥ 9:56am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'm dancing! And now my cats are glaring at me.
	♥ 9:57am Granny Spicy Tuna: queems! You have been summoned by this excellent disco beat!
	♥ 9:59am queems: @granny it's the best way to face the world on a monday
	10:00am βrian: I've found that cats love to dance.
	♥ 10:00am Granny Spicy Tuna: At a Redd Kross show in the early 90s they blew my mind by performing "Funeral For A friend/Love Lies Bleeding." It was one of the highlights of my entire life.
	10:00am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:01am Rev. Turnip Druid: Missed my spirit animal (cab calloway)! Punching self extravagantly INNAFACE!
	10:03am randyfrommichigan: @McGreivey wow you are missing a few great songs: Harmony, Ballad Of Danny Bailey, Sweet Painted Lady, Roy Rogers, All The Young Girls Love Alice, and only cuz it's short and sweet - This Song Has No Title
	10:04am randyfrommichigan: @granny wow that's cool. I saw EJ perform FFAF/LLB several times live, starting in '74 in Toronto, mostly recently this fall in Detroit, I never get tired of it performed live!
	♥ 10:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: Never seen EJ live, nor most of the big names. Huge venues don't work well for my taste. Only Prince was able to make it work for me in that regard.
	10:09am Marc Francis: A Certain Ratio getting into the acid house scene. Love it.
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe and everybody!
	10:13am randyfrommichigan: never heard of A Certain Ratio ... that was a great song, reminds me of Depeche Mode, just added it to my Spotify
	10:16am randyfrommichigan: @granny I agree about smaller venues but not often possible for the big names. I did get to see EJ play a small venue in '79, just him on piano plus Ray Cooper on percussion. Lucky you got to see Prince, me too, Purple Rain tour. My wife was able to see Prince at a small venue in Detroit around '81 before he got big, Vanity 6 and The Time opened up!
	♥ 10:17am mcgreivey: @randyfrommichigan maybe. But I don't know those songs. I haven't listen to the whole album since I was 12. Sometimes it helps to have an editor who has no sentimental attachment, like a sociopathic president, or a driver's ed instructor.
	♥ 10:19am Granny Spicy Tuna: Biggest name/smallest venue for me was when Stevie Wonder came out during a George Clinton show at Bimbo's in San Francisco. I think the whole building lifted off the ground.
	♥ 10:20am Sem: Hello and good morning, Joe, McGaskoes everywhere, and those keen on noise, surface and otherwise.
	♥ 10:21am queems: oh this one is excellent
	10:23am randyfrommichigan: @mcgreivey great comment! Yes my 13 year old daughter was my editor for the White Album. She has no sentimental attachment for the old stuff unlike me, that's why I want her to do EJ's GYBR with me. I've heard every song probably hundreds of times since I got the album when I was 14. But seriously check out the songs I mentioned, they are really good, sentimentality aside!!
	♥ 10:23am queems: i was thinking that the last one sounded like kings of convenience!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @queems: I knew they reminded me of somebody, and I remembered who!
	10:24am ignatatus666: Love this. I always hear music on WFMU that I never discovered before.
	10:25am randyfrommichigan: @granny wow that must have been amazing! I have seen Stevie Wonder in concert four times, what a talent he is.
	10:25am KP in DC: Hello Joe from washed out Washington DC
	♥ 10:27am queems: @joe i checked the accu to make sure it wasn't actually them. i love all of these whispery dudes today
	10:29am Fernando P: Hi Joe! This set has touched me in so many places. Great one!
	♥ 10:30am Granny Spicy Tuna: Freeform radio: where not even the DJ knows what's gonna happen next!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Fernando! Good to see you! And ignatatus, GST, KP, Sem, all you nice folks. Thanks for joining me today.
	10:37am randyfrommichigan: @granny yes i agree re freeform radio! My brother turned me on to WFMU recently, it's my first experience with freeform.
	♥ 10:39am Granny Spicy Tuna: @randyfrommichigan welcome to the madness! Seems like you're enjoying it aplenty.
	10:39am Brian in New Orleans: was that Ozzy Osbourne on lead vocals?
	♥ 10:41am The Oscar: !!!!!!
	10:41am randyfrommichigan: oops I take that back, WFMU is my second experience with freeform radio, I have been listening to www.radioparadise.com occasionally for over 15 years, it's also excellent.
	♥ 10:41am queems: WOW
	♥ 10:41am Planet Tyler: Did she pogo out on him?
	♥ 10:42am Dominick: what the what?
	♥ 10:42am queems: what a jam
	10:42am Andrew in Etobicoke: No kidding!!! 1978?
	♥ 10:42am Stevel: She pogoed my heart and... er...
	♥ 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Are these your records or from the WFMU library?
	♥ 10:42am Matt Fiveash: Wow. I'm not easily flabbergasted, but wow.
	10:43am PKNY: More like Sheena is a Yacht Rocker!
	10:43am randyfrommichigan: @granny thanks! yes i'm enjoying it ... some of the music I find hard to tolerate and have to avoid my typical urge to switch away ... is helping me increase my patience and open my mind to new things.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @PKNY: Ha ha! @Matt: The B-side is "Pretty Vacant." @Harry: All MINE!
	♥ 10:43am Sem: @PKNY: spot on.
	♥ 10:43am tim from champaign: Hi everyone. How did you find this Joe?!?! And how did punk get co-opted to disco so quickly?
	10:44am randyfrommichigan: I've never heard Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, I'm assuming this isn't the original, I'm guessing originally was by The Ramones or some other punk band?
	♥ 10:44am Maggie B.: I'm just tuning in but I think I'm having a stroke!
	♥ 10:44am Stevel: PKNY FTW!
	♥ 10:44am tadpoles: Always loved this Paul Jones...thanks Joe.
	♥ 10:44am The Oscar: This is OUTSTANDING.
	10:44am davefromtoronto: wow the castrated version!
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: @Joe McG good taste!
	♥ 10:44am Dominick: Koko approves
	10:45am randyfrommichigan: @PKNY LOL!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Maggie: Ha ha ha! I love that Manfred Mann's singer felt the need to cover the Ramones. Produced by Tim Rice!
	10:46am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto LOL! I'll have to find and listen to the original (once Sly is done) so I have a point of reference.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: i just listened to it on spotify and came back to the show and THAT was playing - no s**t!
	♥ 10:47am The Oscar: Sly Stone has outlived multiple generations of his followers. At this point it almost feels like a clerical error.
	♥ 10:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: OK, for the fundraiser, Sheila B will whittle Sandanista!, Fabio will jackhammer Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Matt Warwick will chop down The Wall. What else? And, @randyfrommichigan, please stick around and keep commenting, you're briliant.
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @The Oscar: Must be preservatives.
	10:48am Irene: Two extremes! That version of Sheena is as ridiculous as the Wizzard song was sublime. Always loved Roy Wood’s voice and find it surprising that he isn’t as big a deal as former ELO bandmate Jeff Lynn. Great song that I wasn’t familiar with.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @irene: I hope to do an all Roy Wood single file one of these days!
	♥ 10:52am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:52am randyfrommichigan: @granny thanks for your very kind welcome :)
	10:52am David in London: Master Meters. The Zig was truly awesome behind the drum kit.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @David: A Monster! In the best way.
	10:54am davefromtoronto: randyfrommichigan if you haven't seen the ramones doc "end of the century" check it out it's really good.
	10:54am randyfrommichigan: Saturday Night Fever, but I think it's a simple job for a saw, just cut off Album 1 Side 1, save that, throw the rest away, maybe could make a side 2 out of a few of the other songs that didn't suck?
	♥ 10:55am Stevel: "Ess-key mo"
	♥ 10:56am pantz: That's George Jones for Eskimo Pies. A treat so nice even George shows up for em!
	10:56am Lewis: for some reason, I always think that George Jones is Buck Owens... must be that Bakersfield Sound...
	10:57am randyfrommichigan: @davefromtoronto OK I don't like the Ramones at all but will I will check it out if you say it's good. I just watched the 2 part HBO doc on Elvis, Rachel asked me to watch with her, I never liked Elvis but it was an excellent doc and now I have a new found appreciation for him. You should watch it if you haven't seen it.
	♥ 10:57am Asheville Jon: ha, haven't heard this in a few lifetimes. nice
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @pantz: Hilarious! Definite lost opportunity for the Eskimo Pie people.
	10:57am melinda: 80s blast!
	10:58am randyfrommichigan: I love The Meters, that song was most excellent
	♥ 10:58am Granny Spicy Tuna: Joe McG: in all sincerity, that White Out Massacree last week is one of the Top 10 radio highlights of my entire life. I haven't laughed so hard since i can't remember when. Thank you forever and ever.
	10:58am KP in DC: Is Ten Pole Tudor a Wun Hit Wonder?
	♥ 10:58am steveo: Hey speaking of the White Album: inspired by your hijinks last week, I discovered Uncle Michael's all-cover version from earlier this year. Some real gems & a lot of fun. Playlist: wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @GST: Wow, Granny, that's so cool. I'm so glad so many people enjoyed it! Jim and I had a blast doing it.
	11:00am randyfrommichigan: @granny The Wall is a great choice to edit, a few great songs and lots of sub-par stuff.
	11:01am Brendan: RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Good morning.
	♥ 11:01am Webhamster Henry: and it's good to get Jim Price on the air for more than a minute at a time.
	11:01am Listener Alexandra: Happy last full week of 2018, Joe! And can't wait to see you take The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway down to a five song EP ;-)
	♥ 11:01am Webhamster Henry: WFMU co-hosting is always a treat!
	11:02am randyfrommichigan: @Joe McG my brother and I had been debating how to edit the White Album back in August, so he called me yesterday and said I needed to listen to your show, so my daughter and I listened to it last night and we sent our comments to my brother via email. Loved your show!
	♥ 11:02am Matt Fiveash: Haha!
	♥ 11:02am The Oscar: Man, I would have put this on every single mix disc I made in high school if I'd known about it.
	11:02am PKNY: Pretty Yachty!
	♥ 11:03am Asheville Jon: wow, ultra-cheese Pretty Vacant. is there a Muzak version?
	♥ 11:03am rsj: No way this is random
	11:03am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Alexandra I totally agree re Lamb Lies Down On Broadway! :)
	♥ 11:03am Krys O.: Laid back Paul Jones reminds me of Mike Flowers Pop.
	♥ 11:03am tim from champaign: Oh wow!
	11:03am prudy: this is ..hate to say it... awesome cover.
	♥ 11:03am tadpoles: Thanks Joe..."We know what we feel."
	11:03am David in London: Joe, you’re killing me me softly (with Paul Jones’ song).
	♥ 11:04am Granny Spicy Tuna: @steveo, thanks! Gotta check that out. Uncle Michael's "chain" was a mindblowing radio experience for me, too.
	♥ 11:04am Dominick: Smooth
	♥ 11:04am Maggie B.: My office mates don't understand why I'm hysterical. This stuff is AWESOME Joe!!
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign: Joe, you need to do an all schlocky punk covers Single File!
	11:04am Lewis: In the Paul Jones vein (sort of), Tracy Thornton did a thing call Pan for Punks -> Ramones on Steel Drum
	♥ 11:04am Planet Tyler: This is...some sort of treat?
	♥ 11:04am Stevel: Tim makes a strong point.
	♥ 11:05am The Oscar: The Making Love Pistols
	11:05am Listener Alexandra: @randyfrommichigan @JoeMcG it's that or Sandinista ;-)
	11:05am zopa: Nuts! I missed Tenpole Tudor.
	11:05am PKNY: @Oscar - I think 'whoopie' matches the sonics better!
	♥ 11:06am The Oscar: @PKNY Dammit, you're right-- this is punk for the Match Game set!
	11:06am Switchblade Batman: I really want to know if Paul Jones was being ironic or if he was sincere in those covers
	11:07am randyfrommichigan: never heard of Paul Jones, very smooth and yachty, he's not on Spotify, will Google him
	11:08am βrian: Whenever somebody says Yacht Rock, I hear Yat-Kha.
	♥ 11:08am Asheville Jon: post a pic of this cover!
	♥ 11:09am Asheville Jon: found a pic: images.45cat.com...
	11:10am randyfrommichigan: @asheville jon thanks for sharing the cover, I was just going to search for it
	11:10am Listener Scott: Just coming here to acknowledge @PKNY's superbly executed Sheena/yacht rock joke.
	11:12am KP in DC: There’s a 101 Strings type Ramones record
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: KAMIKAZEEEEEEEE!
	11:15am Parq: Aw, Christmas Eve with Matt and Amanda. What could be more romantic?
	11:16am P-90: Cool fill-ins coming up
	11:16am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Scott great catch about @PKNY's Sheena/yacht rock joke, totally went over my head when first posted, had to think about it!
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: Whoa! What is this?
	11:21am randyfrommichigan: @Switchblade Batman I was thinking the same thing
	11:22am Brendan: That was either Portron Portron Lopez , Boutros Boutros Ghali,or Sirhan Sirhan. I’m going with A.
	♥ 11:24am The Oscar: Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam next?
	11:25am BonjourHi: That is a very a propos song being feeling lonely in my office!
	♥ 11:25am Granny Spicy Tuna: Folx, Paul Jones was the singer on "Doo Wah Diddy," so my guess is he's quite capable of belting it out when he wants.
	11:26am David in London: @Brendan, I think you missed Yo Yo Ma as answer D.
	11:27am ami ad: Good day D.J. Joe,good day all.Hope all is well and warm at the magic factory. Thanks for the music.
	♥ 11:28am Granny Spicy Tuna: Apparently (according to interwebs), Paul Jones was also asked to be the singer for a band being formed by Keith Richards and Brian Jones, but he turned it down.
	♥ 11:28am Krys O.: Paul Jones was also an actor in the film Privilege, an allegorical story of a rock star's life. Crikey, the man sang Pretty Flamingo and so much other stuff. Mike d'Abo is also excellent in his own right.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Hey ami! Great to see you! Hope you have a great end of year.
	11:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: YAY THIS HERE THING.
	11:30am Andrew in Etobicoke: d`Abo is great Krys.
	♥ 11:31am The Oscar: Ironically, I'm pretty sure I've accidentally referred to at least two Sex Pistols members as "Paul Jones" in the past.
	11:31am Andrew in Etobicoke: He wrote Handbags and Gladrags.
	11:34am Brendan: Nice Dr. Who synth
	♥ 11:36am pantz: This has some very Rick Wakeman-like vibes.
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @pantz: Except for the angry French lady.
	♥ 11:38am pantz: HA! Mon Dieu!
	11:39am Brendan: Okay okay I wasn’t stealing your baguette. I’ll pay - really!
	11:39am βrian: Elle porte un gilet jaune.
	11:40am randyfrommichigan: @Brendan LOL!
	11:40am David in London: I think she was actually Portuguese.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @David: That's true!
	11:41am David in London: My mistake, French of Portuguese extraction.
	11:41am randyfrommichigan: she sounds really pissed off
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @randy: She is. Pissed at the government, at industry, at the war machine.
	11:42am Fashion Tashjian: Hot damn, loving this. Just what I needed to prepare for a conference call.
	11:42am Brendan: I think we all better disperse. She said she’s calling the cops.
	11:43am heyitschris: I may play this next time i want my guests to leave. ;^)
	11:44am BonjourHi: gosh I always thought she was unbearable
	11:44am rw: Good morning! Was going to comment about the angry woman here but you guys all beat me to it with much better senses of humor.
	11:44am βrian: She had an earlier incarnation as a yéyé singer.
	11:44am David in London: She’s about to tear gas us.
	11:44am Parq: To paraphrase the 2000 year old man, what is she hollering??
	♥ 11:45am The Oscar: @heyitschris I used to have a particularly extreme unaccompanied Yoko track on hand in college for that exact purpose-- and it worked many times!
	♥ 11:45am pantz: Le meow. Le purrrrr
	11:45am Brendan: Definitely not in the hospitality industry.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: this is scary.
	♥ 11:46am Devin B.: Also a later incarnation doing Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel tunes
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Parq: She just finished descrying the unholy trio heading the French government circa 1975.
	11:47am jayjay in MTL: Plus capable. Elle augmente mon niveau de stress.
	11:47am ami ad: Thank you thank you. Same to you D.J. Joe. Keep it Freedom...
	11:47am randyfrommichigan: doing her french yoko ono impression now
	11:47am Parq: Joe -- oh, that again?
	11:48am Mike Wolf: Even the name Ribeiro is a killing weapon
	11:48am rw: I like it, it's just not your typical Surface Noise.
	♥ 11:49am steveo: seems about right for a Monday
	♥ 11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna: She's pissed because Joe and Jim cut "Savoy Truffle."
	11:50am Brendan: Wow hell hath no fury like a constituent scorned. Sounds like she could reenact Bastille Day as a one woman show w/ a meat cleaver.
	♥ 11:50am pantz: Nice Dune reference @Mike Wolf
	♥ 11:50am Krys O.: Elle crie super fort!
	11:50am chapelhillina: I'm reminded of Toussaint L'Ouverture by the Swans
	11:50am David in London: Ah, she’s now doing the ‘dentist drill’ vocal.
	11:50am randyfrommichigan: @Brendan good one!
	♥ 11:51am tim from champaign: This is sooo goood. Was it Numero or Superior Viaduct that re-issued a Ribeiro + Alpes record?
	11:51am randyfrommichigan: @Granny LOL!!!!
	11:51am jayjay in MTL: as they say 'ça fait du bien quand ça s'arrete'
	11:53am randyfrommichigan: @jayjay exactement - je suis d'accord :)
	11:53am David in London: Joe, we need Kenneth Williams doing ‘Ma Crepe Suzette.’

	♥ 11:56am Krys O.: Au revoir, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am Rich in Washington: The doc about Laibach performing in North Korea is pretty amusing. It probably helps to be somewhat familiar with the band's ouvre or M.O.
	11:56am randyfrommichigan: @tim from champaign Shazam says it's Laibach
	♥ 11:56am tadpoles: Sounds like Laibach singer. Cheers Joe.

	11:57am rw: Joe! Thanks, man.
	11:57am David in London: Great show Joe.
	11:58am melinda: Great reinterpretation of Sound of Music! The line about champagne takes in a distinct creepy vibe.
	♥ 11:58am Mick: Great show today Joe - thanks!
