	♥ 9:38am pantz: Good for you! I have a run in with that dreaded age in August. Thinking of getting a Hoverround and riding it exclusively in my neighborhood, yelling at people to pick up after their dogs.
	9:39am Zydeco Phil: Nice, a study in “Wayfaring Stranger” versions, love it man
	9:39am highlowe: Oh I like where this is going..: ) is the next track called "stranger"? The label is called double feature...nice play, intended or not
	♥ 9:40am Joe McG: @Monk: I don't think so, at least not that I recall.
	♥ 9:41am steveo: Vincent, we think it was a mini theme.
	9:41am TDK60: Hello Joe.
	9:41am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM yeah, just search engined it, but didn't get any hits. another hallucination?
	♥ 9:43am tadpoles: That Dean Wareham & Cheval Sombre record sounds very interesting thanks Joe.

	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: @glenn: If the library weren't so far away, I'd get some Cowboy Junkies. They would suit the mood!
	9:50am annie: sorry i'm late! taking a seat in the back. jag-wise, i'm on a madeleine peryroux thing, i've been missing her voice on the tubes.
	9:50am VincentNifigance: @steveo Joe saw you were on to him and changed course!
	9:51am TDK60: Joe, you need an eager librarian on hand.
	9:51am glenn: don't put yourself out on my account. no, really.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @TDK60: Yes, I need a runner today. Not feeling up to a library run.
	♥ 9:53am Mike Sin: Off from work for the day, bundled up , brewing the coffee, and listening to all this great new music! Good morning, Joe.

	9:54am highlowe: i think you can save your energy...you are creating some magic here.
	9:54am Cal Zone!: beautiful set this morning. perfect segue into MTH. The Mental Train box is really great. Especially the extra tracks and live stuff.
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @Mike: Hey, Mike! Glad you have the day off and can join me. @Cal: Thanks! I was wondering if I should splurge for that. You're making me think I need to!
	9:54am TDK60: Mott! crank those amps..
	9:55am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM well, please don't pull any zimmerman out of the trick bag if you run low on discs, joe. even dead air or cartoon sound effects are better
	♥ 9:57am The Oscar: @TLM I'd actually love a weekly show of all cartoon sound effects!
	10:01am TheLoneliestMonk: @OSCAR well, there is a new kiddy show on sat mornings, joe mac even filled in once!
	10:01am TDK60: ..that 1st Mott is sorta forgotten.

	♥ 10:07am Cmurtha: The weather has been improving here, sorry ya'll are getting it bad.
	10:08am TheLoneliestMonk: oh man, none of you guys have ever experienced a north vermont winter, have you??
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: I think it's going to be back in the 40s in a couple of days, so I'm going to try to feel it. @zpulpa: Ha ha! @Michele: But we're alive and it IS beautiful! :)
	♥ 10:09am queems: i feel the wind from inside my freaking house
	10:10am TheLoneliestMonk: even a catskills winter is way more intense than what we experience in NYC
	♥ 10:10am pantz: Having grown up in Wyoming, this winter is more like spring.
	♥ 10:10am Sem: A good morning to you, Joe, and attending McGaskoes, and god bless Stevie Wonder.
	10:11am zpulpa: It is beautiful and kind of jarring, for some reason I walked to work instead of biking, i guess id rather have less wind and a longer trip, but wow, tears on my cheeks are rosey and dry, im alive! dreaming of the summer absolutely!
	10:12am glenn: i haven'y experienced north vermont winter, but i've experienced thunder bay and calgary winter. you have no idea, believe me.
	10:12am jake6573: Hello room
	10:13am Lewis: @Glenn - heading up to Grand Marias later this week; should I bring my heavy coat? ;-)
	10:13am glenn: two words - block heater.
	10:13am annie: aaahhh, but is it cold out if there are no thermometers and 24-7 info on our phones exclaiming how cold it is?
	10:14am glenn: oh, ottawa winter's nothing to sneeze at either.
	10:16am glenn: i had to google grand marais. yep, i'd recommend the big coat. and long johns.
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Been slow to appreciate how good William Bell is as a performer and writer.
	10:16am TheLoneliestMonk: who knew we had so many proper northmen here today? the NORTH remembers!
	10:17am Lewis: right - other side of the border - cheers!
	10:17am glenn: but which one? it seems there's a grand marais in michigan as well as one in minnesota
	10:18am Lewis: the one in minnesota - just down the road from Thunder Bay...
	10:19am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn like ss marie in michigan/CA ?
	10:21am emily: Thanks for taking a song (that has been used as a joke for so long) and returning to it's poignancy.
	10:21am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Joe, and thanks for the wonderful program so far. Glad to be able to listen today. Happy MLK Day!
	10:22am TheLoneliestMonk: ever ski banff or lake louise?
	♥ 10:23am pantz: What a beautiful song. It's giving me goose bumps.
	10:23am glenn: i don't ski. i figured there was enough chance for debilitating injuries playing hockey.
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: Happy MLK Day, Itzall and everyone!
	10:26am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn haha, just ask the lindros brothers
	♥ 10:26am Granny Spicy Tuna: i'm about 16 miles from the Canadian border, as the crow flies
	10:28am melinda: Hi Joe and all!
	10:29am glenn: or the sutters. there's six of them, and they all played in the n.h.l.
	10:29am fleep: Greetings
	10:30am Ven: This time last year I was x-country skiing in Finse ... for all you Star Wars fans. Now THAT is cold!
	10:30am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn, yeah but they all kinda retired on their own terms...and only one was really a standout
	10:36am glenn: i feel kinda sorry for the sutter's parents. it costs a couple grand a year for one kid to play hockey . multiply that by six, for 15 years, and it adds up.
	10:36am TheLoneliestMonk: and MY shitty team had the twins. more bad drafting by the flyers!
	10:37am TheLoneliestMonk: what state is that, GST?
	10:39am testingwithfire: Loving the Funk of Uplift on MLK Jr's Day. Thank you Joe!
	10:39am TDK60: Gladys K.
	10:40am TheLoneliestMonk: is gladys TRYING to sound like tina turner on this cut?
	10:41am glenn: oooh. the flyers. i'd give you condolences, but i hate them too much.
	♥ 10:41am coelacanth∅: 'Morning Joe & all
	10:42am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Joe! Beautiful show today.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Thanks, Jeff, and thanks for dropping by!
	10:43am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn you a flames guy?
	10:45am glenn: no, i'm a maple leafs fan, for my sins. i live in toronto.
	10:46am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn aargh! up until recently i wouldn't have cared, but all the intentional tanking made me hate your team. plus, i have couple of friends in van city, who DESPISE the leafs!
	10:46am glenn: a perfect follow up would be johnny cash, by fred eaglesmith.
	10:47am Brendan: Your show is radiating positive vibes, Joe. The stream is definitely warm. And thanks for being here for so many holidays.
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: Man, I love them Crickets!
	10:47am glenn: yeah, that's okay. we're used to it.
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: @glenn, without the 'jokes'.
	♥ 10:47am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, i am in Washington State, in the San Juan Islands. I say, "as the crow flies" because the way i would get to Canada would be by car and ferry—a three-hour commute at best.
	10:47am TDK60: Glad to see Not Fade Away climbing the charts once again!
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Shout out to Toronto, where it was a balmy -21C/-6F this morning.
	10:48am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn altho, the sadies are from your area, and i like them VERY much!
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Thanks, Brendan! And thanks for being right along here with me. BTW, I think "Not Fade Away" is a PERFECT record.
	10:49am TDK60: ..that is a correct observation, DJ JM.
	♥ 10:49am The Oscar: According to Radio Rethink, this one's off the classic album "Black Blood Vomitorium."
	10:50am glenn: the sadies are great, and very good guys to boot.
	10:51am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac ever read the book by jim dodge? it has nothing to do with buddy holly... a good little road novel tho
	10:51am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn you know 'em?
	♥ 10:52am pantz: Like this Killjoys track. Not enough xylophone in music anymore.
	10:53am Ven: The Crickets in the 60s should have been ... can you imagine?!
	10:53am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST jesus H! you must've wanted to get away from ppl as much as i do!
	10:53am glenn: we've howdied, but not shook, as they say.
	10:54am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn ever hear of a little combo from vancouver called 'lions in the street'?
	10:55am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn i read a great little article about the sadies a while back; about how their parents let them build a recording studio in the basement of their home...to save on studio fees
	10:55am Ven: I often have that same thought experiment with Marvin in later days ... what a loss to the world.
	10:55am glenn: no, i haven't. i've heard of cub. and loverboy.
	♥ 10:55am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, ha ha!!! Obviously, we enjoy this virtual socializing.
	10:56am TheLoneliestMonk: loverboy, ha!
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: Whoooaaaa...
	10:57am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST indeed, shades of 'snowcrash'?
	♥ 10:57am dale: andrew lloyd webbers sarah brightman?
	10:57am David in London: Oh my lord, Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip. I’m instantly back at the school disco.
	10:57am glenn: that doesn't surprise me. their dad was one of the good brothers. i'm sure he would have been pretty involved in building the studio.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @dale: The same! Look up the video on Youtube, you will not be sorry.
	♥ 10:58am The Oscar: Has anyone ever made a comp of '70s "StarWarsploitation" singles? That's a premium I'd definitely pledge for...
	10:58am Johnzon: how have I never heard this before
	10:58am Bill W: wow, I am unfamiliar with this one. Screams '78.
	10:58am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn LITS has some buzz coming out of SxSW about ten years back. unfortunately, they got done in by TVT records, but so did a lot of ppl. they're on permanent hiatus now.
	♥ 10:59am The Oscar: AND it's a CB-fad song too!
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: Marbles! Nice! One band that always gets overlooked whenever the late'70s CBGB/Ork records history gets dragged out for praise.
	10:59am Jeff formerly from Rahway: OMG 8 year-old me would have loved this disco tune
	10:59am Brendan: Pew pew pew! Watch those lasers. You could put an eye out in your Star Wars fueled disco fervor....
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Wake up and smell the polyester!
	11:00am David in London: @The Oscar, check the ‘Turkish Star Wars’ if you’re not familiar with it. StarWarsploitation comes no nuttier!
	11:00am heyitschris: Had to open up the playlist to see what this song was. And @The Oscar, that would be such a cool compilation.
	11:00am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn huh. did not know that. this is why i log onto the chat room. folkies/country?
	♥ 11:00am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, i know not this "snowcrash'
	11:00am TDK60: turntables in Space; it's gonna be so fun.
	11:01am glenn: thegoodbrothers.com
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: @David One of my fave bootlegs! Right alongside "Turkish Exorcist" and "Filipino Batman!"
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Ah, surface noise. Let us say Grace.
	11:01am Lewis: @tdk60 - getting the tracking right on those things is gonna be a bitch...
	11:01am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST one of the early cyberpunk novels. a little too early to cash in on hollywood optioning it
	11:02am Johnzon: oh man I thought this sounded like volunteers for america for a sec
	11:02am TDK60: heh heh Lewis.
	11:02am David in London: @The Oscar, I can see the Turkish Force is strong with you.
	11:03am V Priceless: Yay JA! Hey Joe! Fun show!
	11:03am TDK60: well, this volunteer is bundled up for a trek in the outdoors...see ya.
	♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: These lyrics!
	11:03am heyitschris: If you search for Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam aka The Man Who Saved The World it'll be easier to find. That's the title for the Turkish Star Wars movie. There's also a Turkish E.T., Wizard of Oz and many, many more.
	♥ 11:03am Joe McG: Thanks, VP! The nice thing is that I can play this song from the single since they cut out the "motherfucker."
	♥ 11:03am Cmurtha: Turkish Spiderman is a classic too
	♥ 11:04am dale: EXCELLENT notion oscar.... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:04am Granny Spicy Tuna: Joe McG, wow, that Starship Trooper video is just perfectly over-the-top! Glittery sheer unitards and handfuls of glitter!!!
	♥ 11:04am Cmurtha: If ya'll want to watch a not b-movie style Turkish movie Kış Uykusu is pretty good.
	11:05am Ven: 'A' for intention
	♥ 11:05am dale: we'll all be in glittery sheer unitards in the new year.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Yes, tear down the WALL.
	♥ 11:06am coelacanth∅: hey trump, up against the wall, motherfucker. ...such a great song
	11:07am heyitschris: Cmurtha - I don't know that one! I'll have to find it.
	♥ 11:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: dale, oh PLEASE yes. The robot dancing, the well-placed maracas! The sexy sexy choreography with people who are not actually sexually attracted to each other. OH YES.
	11:07am V Priceless: hey fish - yes! one of the greatest anthems of all time, that!
	♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅: it was in there. just very toned down
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: Caroline is a beautiful song.
	♥ 11:09am coelacanth∅: Veep! good to see you!
	11:09am Mark in Toronto: @thelonliestmonk: yeah Neal Stephenson. Snow Crash is great, but I love Cryptonomicon, amazing book.
	♥ 11:09am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Monday, Joe! Great hearing Jefferson Airplane and loved the Gladys Knight, too. Great show, as ever!
	♥ 11:10am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: All time greatest . agreed!!
	11:11am Brendan: For glittery, kitschy, techno space disco videos, Zlad from Molvania’s Elektronik Supersonik is a groundbreaking piece of art. https://youtu.be/kKO9h-gG4Qg
	11:11am glenn: agree on neal stephenson.
	11:12am glenn: also agree on zlad. brilliant stuff.
	♥ 11:13am Granny Spicy Tuna: I can't get enough of that spacccce madnessssss
	♥ 11:13am Cmurtha: The Sarah Brightman song really reminded me of this east-german band that did like Soviet futurism disco, and I cannot recall their name at the moment.
	11:14am V Priceless: @ fish - u 2!
	11:16am Mark in Toronto: Joe, it's probably "bar-be-cuties"
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: @Cmurtha Thought you might be thinking of Droids, but it seems they were French. Awesome, though: youtu.be...
	11:18am TheLoneliestMonk: @mark i was using snowcrash specifically tho as an example of avatars and things like virtual coffee shops, to replace actually leaving your house. 'ready player one' was basically YA ripoff of it
	♥ 11:18am The Oscar: Also just found this rabbit hole, which is how I'm probably going to spend my lunch break: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:18am Davee: @Granny - your GIF is keeping time with the music
	11:20am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac do you mean to tell us you have 62 y/o vinyl 45 of 'not fade away' and it's still playable...and you're just mentioning that?
	♥ 11:20am Granny Spicy Tuna: Davee— this dancer seems to go with everything, except it's usually a bit on the brisk side for Shrunken Planet
	♥ 11:20am Cmurtha: @Oscar, not them but I am loving this, and it made me remember the band!
	♥ 11:20am steveo: I love the low brass, winds and string! Cello & bassoons plus the brass you mentioned. I also like the color blue, so I guess I'm a low wavelength kind of guy.
	11:21am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac you should do a single file of your oldest, best conditioned vinyl 45s, let us try and spot the difference
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Mark: I'm sure you're right! @Monk: Cool, right? $1! I feel like I play good condition and bad condition 45s all the time, old and new. @steveo: Agree with all!
	♥ 11:22am Cmurtha: The band is the Zodiaks btw @oscar. The song in particular I was thinking of is "Provincial Disco"
	♥ 11:23am The Oscar: @Cmurtha Good to know-- will definitely check them out!
	11:23am annie: movin'on out for some cribbage... thanks joe!!
	11:24am Mark in Toronto: @Monk: Agree totally. So prescient, that is society today.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: Annie, that's the best departure I've seen on my board ever. Enjoy the cribbage game!
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I played the wrong track from the Turkish CD, but this violin player is certainly smokin'.
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth∅: i'm digging it
	11:26am Mark in Toronto: @Glenn: Ever been to the Monarch tavern, Clinton and College? I'm the host of Bring Your Own Vinyl, tuesday nights. 10 to 1am. Bring records and I'll play them.
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Trusty Topic Records from North London.
	♥ 11:27am Cmurtha: I'd love to see him playing this knowing how he's holding the instrument if this was recorded in the 60s and this is an actual dude and not a studio musician.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: they have byov nights in my pub but i've never been. i wouldn't bring anything too precious.
	11:29am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac as bob ross would say, "a happy little accident"!
	11:30am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM upload.wikimedia.org...
	♥ 11:30am Cmurtha: I think the horn is called Zurna
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: This is the "zuma oboe" and this guy plays it so aggressively it's like folk punk rock.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: Yes, zurna, sorry! Thanks, Cmurtha.
	♥ 11:31am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Zuma Oboe solo!
	♥ 11:31am Sem: Pass the raki, this is rockin' the wedding.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @sem: ha ha ha!
	♥ 11:32am Cmurtha: Joe you should listen to some Mehter (old, well 17th-18th century) Ottoman military music, its loaded with this kind of shrill horn playing, and really intense drum beats.
	♥ 11:32am Rob W: Spectacular inadvertant Black Sea kemenche fiddle action - but it's true, you can't beat the piercing double-reed zurna, great to hear both!
	11:32am glenn: in fact, i was in the monarch friday night. a friend of mine had a c.d. release party.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: i had someone play zurna on a song of mine, in a style kind of like this, but i called it "punk jazz".
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Hey Rob! How was Golden Fest? The weather held out!
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: Sem pass that bottle!
	11:34am glenn: if you did an early show, i'd show up. i'm in bed by 10 p.m. pretty much every night of the week.
	♥ 11:35am Sem: coel: but you drink like a fish...
	♥ 11:36am Rob W: Thanks Joe, yes, it was great and there were zurnas and zurlas in abundance! The weather turned out to be just wet, not icy or snowy - so it wasn't so bad after all...
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: hahaha ....true but i don't drink what the other fishes drink
	11:38am Lewis: most excellent...
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: @Rob: Great! Wish I'd made it!
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth∅: i'm big into this set!
	11:40am yippie: cold morning in downtown Harlem
	11:40am TheLoneliestMonk: re:Tu eglute, tu zaliogi why do i suddenly have visions of middle earth dwarves preparing for battle?
	♥ 11:41am Rob W: That last track, from Evritiki Zygia from Greece - was great too and they're very much on the scene right now - they showcased at WOMEX in Spain this year.
	♥ 11:42am coelacanth∅: okay then ouzo it is!
	11:43am Brendan: This is like an even better version of Dust in the Wind
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: the wizard's got a badass guitar
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everybody! Have a happy MLK Day and I'll see you next week!
	♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:54am TheLoneliestMonk: some unexpected, interesting stuff today. have a good week, joe!
	♥ 11:55am Cmurtha: Great set Joe,and same to you! Also hot take: Hair the Film's soundtrack > Hair The Original Broadway cast recording.
	11:55am zpulpa: anyone else feel the potential to become a Hare Krishna? or felt the possibility linger in them and brought out with the music
	11:55am Brendan: Hairy Rama Joe. And Muchas GrassyAss
	♥ 11:58am tadpoles: Just watched the doc. on the making of "Man on the Moon" where Jim Carrey gives Milos Foreman a run for his money. Ha! "Hair" reference there. Thanks for the morning Joe...helps us keep warm.
	♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe take care

	♥ 10:10am pantz: Having grown up in Wyoming, this winter is more like spring.
	♥ 10:10am Sem: A good morning to you, Joe, and attending McGaskoes, and god bless Stevie Wonder.
	10:11am zpulpa: It is beautiful and kind of jarring, for some reason I walked to work instead of biking, i guess id rather have less wind and a longer trip, but wow, tears on my cheeks are rosey and dry, im alive! dreaming of the summer absolutely!
	10:12am glenn: i haven'y experienced north vermont winter, but i've experienced thunder bay and calgary winter. you have no idea, believe me.
	10:12am jake6573: Hello room
	10:13am Lewis: @Glenn - heading up to Grand Marias later this week; should I bring my heavy coat? ;-)
	10:13am glenn: two words - block heater.
	10:13am annie: aaahhh, but is it cold out if there are no thermometers and 24-7 info on our phones exclaiming how cold it is?
	10:14am glenn: oh, ottawa winter's nothing to sneeze at either.
	10:16am glenn: i had to google grand marais. yep, i'd recommend the big coat. and long johns.
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Been slow to appreciate how good William Bell is as a performer and writer.

	10:18am Lewis: the one in minnesota - just down the road from Thunder Bay...
	10:19am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn like ss marie in michigan/CA ?

	10:22am TheLoneliestMonk: ever ski banff or lake louise?
	♥ 10:23am pantz: What a beautiful song. It's giving me goose bumps.
	10:23am glenn: i don't ski. i figured there was enough chance for debilitating injuries playing hockey.
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: Happy MLK Day, Itzall and everyone!
	10:26am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn haha, just ask the lindros brothers

	10:29am fleep: Greetings
	10:30am Ven: This time last year I was x-country skiing in Finse ... for all you Star Wars fans. Now THAT is cold!
	10:30am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn, yeah but they all kinda retired on their own terms...and only one was really a standout
	10:36am glenn: i feel kinda sorry for the sutter's parents. it costs a couple grand a year for one kid to play hockey . multiply that by six, for 15 years, and it adds up.
	10:36am TheLoneliestMonk: and MY shitty team had the twins. more bad drafting by the flyers!
	10:37am TheLoneliestMonk: what state is that, GST?
	10:39am testingwithfire: Loving the Funk of Uplift on MLK Jr's Day. Thank you Joe!
	10:39am TDK60: Gladys K.
	10:40am TheLoneliestMonk: is gladys TRYING to sound like tina turner on this cut?

	♥ 10:41am coelacanth∅: 'Morning Joe & all
	10:42am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Joe! Beautiful show today.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Thanks, Jeff, and thanks for dropping by!
	10:43am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn you a flames guy?
	10:45am glenn: no, i'm a maple leafs fan, for my sins. i live in toronto.
	10:46am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn aargh! up until recently i wouldn't have cared, but all the intentional tanking made me hate your team. plus, i have couple of friends in van city, who DESPISE the leafs!
	10:46am glenn: a perfect follow up would be johnny cash, by fred eaglesmith.
	10:47am Brendan: Your show is radiating positive vibes, Joe. The stream is definitely warm. And thanks for being here for so many holidays.
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: Man, I love them Crickets!
	10:47am glenn: yeah, that's okay. we're used to it.
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: @glenn, without the 'jokes'.
	♥ 10:47am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, i am in Washington State, in the San Juan Islands. I say, "as the crow flies" because the way i would get to Canada would be by car and ferry—a three-hour commute at best.
	10:47am TDK60: Glad to see Not Fade Away climbing the charts once again!
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Shout out to Toronto, where it was a balmy -21C/-6F this morning.
	10:48am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn altho, the sadies are from your area, and i like them VERY much!
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Thanks, Brendan! And thanks for being right along here with me. BTW, I think "Not Fade Away" is a PERFECT record.
	10:49am TDK60: ..that is a correct observation, DJ JM.
	♥ 10:49am The Oscar: According to Radio Rethink, this one's off the classic album "Black Blood Vomitorium."
	10:50am glenn: the sadies are great, and very good guys to boot.
	10:51am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac ever read the book by jim dodge? it has nothing to do with buddy holly... a good little road novel tho
	10:51am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn you know 'em?
	♥ 10:52am pantz: Like this Killjoys track. Not enough xylophone in music anymore.
	10:53am Ven: The Crickets in the 60s should have been ... can you imagine?!
	10:53am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST jesus H! you must've wanted to get away from ppl as much as i do!
	10:53am glenn: we've howdied, but not shook, as they say.
	10:54am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn ever hear of a little combo from vancouver called 'lions in the street'?
	10:55am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn i read a great little article about the sadies a while back; about how their parents let them build a recording studio in the basement of their home...to save on studio fees
	10:55am Ven: I often have that same thought experiment with Marvin in later days ... what a loss to the world.
	10:55am glenn: no, i haven't. i've heard of cub. and loverboy.
	♥ 10:55am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, ha ha!!! Obviously, we enjoy this virtual socializing.
	10:56am TheLoneliestMonk: loverboy, ha!
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: Whoooaaaa...
	10:57am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST indeed, shades of 'snowcrash'?
	♥ 10:57am dale: andrew lloyd webbers sarah brightman?
	10:57am David in London: Oh my lord, Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip. I’m instantly back at the school disco.
	10:57am glenn: that doesn't surprise me. their dad was one of the good brothers. i'm sure he would have been pretty involved in building the studio.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @dale: The same! Look up the video on Youtube, you will not be sorry.
	♥ 10:58am The Oscar: Has anyone ever made a comp of '70s "StarWarsploitation" singles? That's a premium I'd definitely pledge for...
	10:58am Johnzon: how have I never heard this before
	10:58am Bill W: wow, I am unfamiliar with this one. Screams '78.
	10:58am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn LITS has some buzz coming out of SxSW about ten years back. unfortunately, they got done in by TVT records, but so did a lot of ppl. they're on permanent hiatus now.
	♥ 10:59am The Oscar: AND it's a CB-fad song too!
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: Marbles! Nice! One band that always gets overlooked whenever the late'70s CBGB/Ork records history gets dragged out for praise.
	10:59am Jeff formerly from Rahway: OMG 8 year-old me would have loved this disco tune
	10:59am Brendan: Pew pew pew! Watch those lasers. You could put an eye out in your Star Wars fueled disco fervor....
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Wake up and smell the polyester!
	11:00am David in London: @The Oscar, check the ‘Turkish Star Wars’ if you’re not familiar with it. StarWarsploitation comes no nuttier!
	11:00am heyitschris: Had to open up the playlist to see what this song was. And @The Oscar, that would be such a cool compilation.
	11:00am TheLoneliestMonk: @glenn huh. did not know that. this is why i log onto the chat room. folkies/country?
	♥ 11:00am Granny Spicy Tuna: TheLoneliestMonk, i know not this "snowcrash'
	11:00am TDK60: turntables in Space; it's gonna be so fun.
	11:01am glenn: thegoodbrothers.com
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: @David One of my fave bootlegs! Right alongside "Turkish Exorcist" and "Filipino Batman!"
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Ah, surface noise. Let us say Grace.
	11:01am Lewis: @tdk60 - getting the tracking right on those things is gonna be a bitch...
	11:01am TheLoneliestMonk: @GST one of the early cyberpunk novels. a little too early to cash in on hollywood optioning it
	11:02am Johnzon: oh man I thought this sounded like volunteers for america for a sec
	11:02am TDK60: heh heh Lewis.
	11:02am David in London: @The Oscar, I can see the Turkish Force is strong with you.
	11:03am V Priceless: Yay JA! Hey Joe! Fun show!
	11:03am TDK60: well, this volunteer is bundled up for a trek in the outdoors...see ya.
	♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: These lyrics!
	11:03am heyitschris: If you search for Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam aka The Man Who Saved The World it'll be easier to find. That's the title for the Turkish Star Wars movie. There's also a Turkish E.T., Wizard of Oz and many, many more.
	♥ 11:03am Joe McG: Thanks, VP! The nice thing is that I can play this song from the single since they cut out the "motherfucker."
	♥ 11:03am Cmurtha: Turkish Spiderman is a classic too
	♥ 11:04am dale: EXCELLENT notion oscar.... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:04am Granny Spicy Tuna: Joe McG, wow, that Starship Trooper video is just perfectly over-the-top! Glittery sheer unitards and handfuls of glitter!!!
	♥ 11:04am Cmurtha: If ya'll want to watch a not b-movie style Turkish movie Kış Uykusu is pretty good.
	11:05am Ven: 'A' for intention
	♥ 11:05am dale: we'll all be in glittery sheer unitards in the new year.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Yes, tear down the WALL.
	♥ 11:06am coelacanth∅: hey trump, up against the wall, motherfucker. ...such a great song
	11:07am heyitschris: Cmurtha - I don't know that one! I'll have to find it.
	♥ 11:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: dale, oh PLEASE yes. The robot dancing, the well-placed maracas! The sexy sexy choreography with people who are not actually sexually attracted to each other. OH YES.
	11:07am V Priceless: hey fish - yes! one of the greatest anthems of all time, that!
	♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅: it was in there. just very toned down
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: Caroline is a beautiful song.
	♥ 11:09am coelacanth∅: Veep! good to see you!
	11:09am Mark in Toronto: @thelonliestmonk: yeah Neal Stephenson. Snow Crash is great, but I love Cryptonomicon, amazing book.
	♥ 11:09am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Monday, Joe! Great hearing Jefferson Airplane and loved the Gladys Knight, too. Great show, as ever!
	♥ 11:10am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: All time greatest . agreed!!
	11:11am Brendan: For glittery, kitschy, techno space disco videos, Zlad from Molvania’s Elektronik Supersonik is a groundbreaking piece of art. https://youtu.be/kKO9h-gG4Qg
	11:11am glenn: agree on neal stephenson.
	11:12am glenn: also agree on zlad. brilliant stuff.
	♥ 11:13am Granny Spicy Tuna: I can't get enough of that spacccce madnessssss
	♥ 11:13am Cmurtha: The Sarah Brightman song really reminded me of this east-german band that did like Soviet futurism disco, and I cannot recall their name at the moment.
	11:14am V Priceless: @ fish - u 2!
	11:16am Mark in Toronto: Joe, it's probably "bar-be-cuties"
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: @Cmurtha Thought you might be thinking of Droids, but it seems they were French. Awesome, though: youtu.be...
	11:18am TheLoneliestMonk: @mark i was using snowcrash specifically tho as an example of avatars and things like virtual coffee shops, to replace actually leaving your house. 'ready player one' was basically YA ripoff of it
	♥ 11:18am The Oscar: Also just found this rabbit hole, which is how I'm probably going to spend my lunch break: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:18am Davee: @Granny - your GIF is keeping time with the music
	11:20am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac do you mean to tell us you have 62 y/o vinyl 45 of 'not fade away' and it's still playable...and you're just mentioning that?
	♥ 11:20am Granny Spicy Tuna: Davee— this dancer seems to go with everything, except it's usually a bit on the brisk side for Shrunken Planet
	♥ 11:20am Cmurtha: @Oscar, not them but I am loving this, and it made me remember the band!
	♥ 11:20am steveo: I love the low brass, winds and string! Cello & bassoons plus the brass you mentioned. I also like the color blue, so I guess I'm a low wavelength kind of guy.
	11:21am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac you should do a single file of your oldest, best conditioned vinyl 45s, let us try and spot the difference
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Mark: I'm sure you're right! @Monk: Cool, right? $1! I feel like I play good condition and bad condition 45s all the time, old and new. @steveo: Agree with all!
	♥ 11:22am Cmurtha: The band is the Zodiaks btw @oscar. The song in particular I was thinking of is "Provincial Disco"
	♥ 11:23am The Oscar: @Cmurtha Good to know-- will definitely check them out!
	11:23am annie: movin'on out for some cribbage... thanks joe!!
	11:24am Mark in Toronto: @Monk: Agree totally. So prescient, that is society today.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: Annie, that's the best departure I've seen on my board ever. Enjoy the cribbage game!
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I played the wrong track from the Turkish CD, but this violin player is certainly smokin'.
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth∅: i'm digging it
	11:26am Mark in Toronto: @Glenn: Ever been to the Monarch tavern, Clinton and College? I'm the host of Bring Your Own Vinyl, tuesday nights. 10 to 1am. Bring records and I'll play them.
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Trusty Topic Records from North London.
	♥ 11:27am Cmurtha: I'd love to see him playing this knowing how he's holding the instrument if this was recorded in the 60s and this is an actual dude and not a studio musician.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: they have byov nights in my pub but i've never been. i wouldn't bring anything too precious.
	11:29am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac as bob ross would say, "a happy little accident"!
	11:30am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM upload.wikimedia.org...
	♥ 11:30am Cmurtha: I think the horn is called Zurna
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: This is the "zuma oboe" and this guy plays it so aggressively it's like folk punk rock.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: Yes, zurna, sorry! Thanks, Cmurtha.
	♥ 11:31am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Zuma Oboe solo!
	♥ 11:31am Sem: Pass the raki, this is rockin' the wedding.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @sem: ha ha ha!
	♥ 11:32am Cmurtha: Joe you should listen to some Mehter (old, well 17th-18th century) Ottoman military music, its loaded with this kind of shrill horn playing, and really intense drum beats.
	♥ 11:32am Rob W: Spectacular inadvertant Black Sea kemenche fiddle action - but it's true, you can't beat the piercing double-reed zurna, great to hear both!
	11:32am glenn: in fact, i was in the monarch friday night. a friend of mine had a c.d. release party.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: i had someone play zurna on a song of mine, in a style kind of like this, but i called it "punk jazz".
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Hey Rob! How was Golden Fest? The weather held out!
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: Sem pass that bottle!
	11:34am glenn: if you did an early show, i'd show up. i'm in bed by 10 p.m. pretty much every night of the week.
	♥ 11:35am Sem: coel: but you drink like a fish...
	♥ 11:36am Rob W: Thanks Joe, yes, it was great and there were zurnas and zurlas in abundance! The weather turned out to be just wet, not icy or snowy - so it wasn't so bad after all...
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: hahaha ....true but i don't drink what the other fishes drink
	11:38am Lewis: most excellent...
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: @Rob: Great! Wish I'd made it!
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth∅: i'm big into this set!
	11:40am yippie: cold morning in downtown Harlem
	11:40am TheLoneliestMonk: re:Tu eglute, tu zaliogi why do i suddenly have visions of middle earth dwarves preparing for battle?
	♥ 11:41am Rob W: That last track, from Evritiki Zygia from Greece - was great too and they're very much on the scene right now - they showcased at WOMEX in Spain this year.
	♥ 11:42am coelacanth∅: okay then ouzo it is!
