	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: @Asheville Jon: Cool! Go over and get one! :)
	♥ 9:29am Krys O.: And Annette Peacock is still doing it.
	9:29am annie: i got a huge kick out of his announcng the DJs' upciming shows ... a huge blast from the past! HI asheville jon! i'm not crazy about the new "storefront" location of that Jon..
	9:29am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ yes. that's why they keep getting money i really don't have :-)
	♥ 9:30am Asheville Jon: hey Annie! how's it going? haven't been past Moog in a few weeks, something has changed?
	♥ 9:30am Asheville Jon: sure Joe, I can do that. send me paypal and I'll get whatever you want!
	♥ 9:31am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, noisy surface dwellers. Just ten Satan-level pledges to reach the goal!
	9:32am Linda Lee: where's the factory? has it always been there? why don't i know this?
	9:32am annie: they opened a showy stand-alone-type walk-in store thing. downtown somewhere, away from the factory. such an icon,huh??
	9:34am Linda Lee: oh gosh! right on Broadway!
	♥ 9:34am Asheville Jon: well ya know Annie, gotta have a fancy store in the tourist zone ya know
	9:34am annie: it's located about a block from apartment, it's such a wonderful sight! huge big warehouse..a keyboard painted on one side for all to gaze lovingly at!
	9:35am annie: i know, jon, i just smh in sadness.
	♥ 9:35am melinda: Why did the Moogfest move from Asheville to Durham? @Annie cool!
	9:36am davefromtoronto: this has all the ingredients to sound dated but doesn't...
	9:37am annie: i'mnot sure why melinda,i have my suspicions that the CoA wasnotable to "obtain" the party rights for festivals..i'm kind-of glad... asheville ruins clebrations many times..
	♥ 9:37am Asheville Jon: Annie, it's probably the main reason i am really sick of living here. the whole plasticity it's becoming. well, has become
	9:38am Linda Lee: jesus, i lived in the area for 8 years & didn't even know the factory was there! too much time in the woods, apparently!
	♥ 9:39am Brian in UK: Cannot get Young Girl by Union Gap out of my head today. Bought it when it came out, nowadays the lyrics sound quite dodgy.
	♥ 9:39am Asheville Jon: here's a pic of the Moog factory, taken last spring flic.kr...
	♥ 9:39am Cmurtha: İts okay Joe saying Moo-g instead of Moe-g is the true way even if it is wrong.
	9:39am annie: yes.... and i drove down by the Block area this weekend.. such a shame!!...i hate this fast-paced growth, all for the sake of a dollar.
	9:41am Linda Lee: ah of course! never knew what that building was about! no murals in the 90s. :-)
	♥ 9:43am Asheville Jon: well, i gotta get back to work, and stop fuming about this 'town'
	9:45am Linda Lee: Jon, believe it or not, gentrification is changing these rugged mountains too. it's pushing me right the hell out! i don't know who's got all this money, but someone does..
	♥ 9:48am Irene Trudel: Thanks for the shout out to Frank, Joe! Still hard to believe. "Judy Get Down" might be a song I first heard him play. How about some XTC in FXO's honor?
	9:49am annie: where do you live now,linda?
	9:49am Listener Scott: I totally love that you're doing a FXO tribute set Joe. I never knew Frank, only enjoyed his shows. But he was one of the first DJs whose shows I'd listen to on archive if I missed.
	9:50am Linda Lee: i'm in the catskills, annie!
	♥ 9:50am Krys O.: Wooot! This A. More tune was on our Hit Parade back in the day. <3
	9:50am V Priceless: Wow - forgot all about how great this cut is! Thanks Joe. RIP Frank
	♥ 9:50am Irene Trudel: Yes, XTC!!!
	9:51am annie: oohh, yeah,it's hit there, too..sadly.. ilived in oneonta, called it home for close to 20 years.
	9:51am Linda Lee: Irene! good morning!
	9:52am Linda Lee: wow. how long are you in western nc now?
	9:52am Roberto: I "discovered" Black Sea during my senior year in college ('87-'88) on cassette. I wore that mofo out while chilling on the back porch of my house.
	9:52am John in Bklyn: One of my fave XTC tunes! Black Sea is a mini masterpiece.
	♥ 9:52am Irene Trudel: Good morning Linda!
	9:54am Linda Lee: miss hearing you, i must say. :-)
	9:54am annie: i moved here 7 years ago... some hartwick college friends invited me down...i love the mountains.... magical place for sure
	♥ 9:54am Irene Trudel: I was lucky enough to see XTC at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ on the tour supporting Black Sea. A life-changing experience.
	9:54am prudy: once had XTC Black Sea on vinyl purchased in the UK!
	♥ 9:54am Irene Trudel: Hope to be back soon, Linda!
	♥ 9:55am steveo: great tribute; sorry for your loss, Joe & everyone
	9:55am John in Bklyn: Joe, don't know if you remember "Rock 107" in Scranton, PA. They actually used to play XTC, Gary Numan, et al. for a brief period mixed in with classic rock. c.1979-80
	9:55am Linda Lee: wonderful.
	9:56am Roberto: My friend had bought Black Sea on vinyl based on the chorus of "Respectable Street" alone. He was somewhat disappointed with the remainder of its content but I was not.
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @John: I do. I grew up with Rock 107. They weren't bad for a spell!
	9:57am John in Bklyn: @Irene: Wow! They didn't tour very much after Andy's stage fright break down. That show might me on YT. There are a bunch of Capitol concerts posted.
	9:57am Linda Lee: @Roberto ~ & so one of you became an fmu listener & the other did not. right?
	9:59am Roberto: I'm not sure if he listens. He lives in Alabama now.
	9:59am John in Bklyn: @Joe: It was a little oasis in a sea of Top 40 stations! Thanks to that and WRKC I was introduced to a lot of interesting new music back in the day.
	9:59am Linda Lee: @annie ~ yes. indeed. nourishing & magical. i hope to stay in the chain if i can.
	♥ 10:00am steveo: smiling
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @John: I did my first radio show on WRKC. I won a contest and they let me come and do a show!
	10:01am Linda Lee: really lovely set, Joe. what a sweet tribute!
	10:02am Peter in tappan: Marco playing a new venue at industry city in sunset park in June, he’s always great with lots of surprises
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @Linda Lee: Frank was always a great guy, super welcoming to me even when I was all green. He used to call me "McG."
	10:03am Roberto: Oh, and I was delighted last weekend when I was shopping at an H-Mart on Long Island and "Senses Working Overtime" came over the P.A.
	♥ 10:04am Irene Trudel: @John, I haven't found the video yet but did find the concert program for XTC, April 11th 1981. I didn't remember that both Joan Jett and Jools Holland were also on the bill.
	10:06am John in Bklyn: @Joe: That's great! I had a friend who worked there c. 1985. She let me sub a few shifts It was a blast. But I later got in trouble for played a NAQ Butthole Surfers song. I don't think you could even SAY "Butthole Surfers" on radio back then!
	♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: Oh yes the Beach Boys.
	10:07am davefromtoronto: this might be BW's greatest tune. IMHO...
	10:08am John in Bklyn: @Irene: Wow, you got to see the Haley's Comet of rock! What a line-up!
	10:08am Jack: Frank O'Toole was on Saturday evenings for a long while. He was one of the few DJ's on FMU who would play the Dead. I have many of his premiums.
	10:09am frenchee: awesome tribute so far, Joe. I just hope I don't start bawling at work....
	10:11am Linda Lee: what a fine memory to keep, Joe!
	♥ 10:12am officina: Beautiful tribute, Joe...thanks !
	10:13am Linda Lee: as always, kids: live well. time is short.
	♥ 10:15am Sem: Good morning, Joe, McGaskos everywhere, and strangers stumbing upon this show for the first time. You always remember your first time.
	10:17am elwyn: I really love the song "Fearless" but the only versions I own are by Low and by Mary Lou Lord.
	♥ 10:30am frozen_peas: this is a nice version
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: I agree! :)
	♥ 10:34am karlward: Aw shucks
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Oh, good, you're still out there! Thanks for sending the EP, Karl, I like it!
	10:39am emily: I've had a lot of interrupted listening. Did I hear correctly: did Frank O'Toole die? I'm very sorry if this is true. His mixes were mind blowing. I loved his opening music. Very sad if this is true.
	♥ 10:40am Irene Trudel: @John, can't find a recording or video of that XTC concert but did find a recording from few nights later from Emerald City for WMMR. youtu.be...
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @emily: Yes, sadly true. :(
	10:40am Linda Lee: too true, emily
	♥ 10:41am Irene Trudel: Yes, Emily, it's unfortunately true.
	10:43am emily: Sad in Brooklyn. I used to listen to his Saturday night slot. I have missed him over the years.
	10:44am Z-pulpa: I am loving the show this morning Joe! Thank You, goodmorning everyone!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @z-pulpa: I hope you're doing the French twist!
	10:46am John in Bklyn: Thanks for the link @Irene! I completely forgot about that station WMMR in Philly. btw Irene: Big fan of your show since around 2005. Thanks for hipping me to so much great music!
	10:47am emily: love Kajagoogoo (or shy to shy)
	10:47am Z-pulpa: Joe McG:just the coffee sip sip, perhaps a french roast.
	10:48am Roberto: Gajakookoo!
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @z-pulpa: And a baguette. Indulge me.
	10:48am KP in DC: Good morning, Joe!
	10:48am John in Bklyn: That early MTV video! I could never figure out if the woman who worked at the venue was too shy or the rock star guy was too shy? They never got together. Alas, they were both too shy.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: 1982, sigh
	♥ 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: 2 Shy
	10:50am Colleen: Lovin this...Great show Joe
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Thanks, Colleen! :)
	10:52am John in Bklyn: Delayed response form earlier comment: "New venue in Sunset Park." Eesh. Sign-O-the-Times for Nü Brooklyn™
	10:54am randyfrommichigan: hi @davefromtoronto I've been working and missed the tunes of the past hour plus. I don't know that Beach Boys song you said was one of BW's best, I will listen on Spotify since I missed it on this show.
	♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: Oh lawks another bluddy royal for us to feed. We are importing them from America now.
	♥ 10:55am tim from champaign: Hi Joe and friends. I love these two songs made most famous by Elvis. Joe the Selector!
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: Been busy working this morning, but this seems like a good moment to share my baffling impulse purchase of the weekend: microcosmpublishing.com...
	♥ 10:57am Planet Tyler: Alas, then Mick Harevy and Blixa left and Nick Cave went full on humorless schmaltz
	10:57am judy from croton: Hey joe and all I missed lots today. Archiving listening later. Frank was a lighthouse searchlight for me starting in 1979. And he will continue to be.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @tim: I'd picked out the Mark James and when I saw the Nick Cave, I couldn't resist a bit of programming.
	10:59am judy from croton: He knew how to do friendship, too. I loved him a lot.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @judy: Yes, it's a great loss to us and to radio.
	♥ 11:04am holland oats: night cheese
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign: Hahahaha - I have Bob Seger and Stereolab records. I never thought to play them next to each other. Nice "move" Joe!
	11:05am prudy: this morning on Wake we were just talking about how Seger's Silver Bullet era sucked compared to his earlier blues era.
	♥ 11:05am tim from champaign: Being a Michigander, Bob Seger is never to far away. www.mlive.com...
	♥ 11:06am Ike: Ew, Bob Seger. Gross. :P ;)
	11:06am queems: i enjoyed that
	11:07am jess: i think I've reached my Bob Seger limit today
	♥ 11:07am steveo: great surface noise on that seger
	11:07am randyfrommichigan: One of my friends that moved from Canada to Michigan (like me) has become a big Bob Seger fan and she wanted to see his farewell tour this summer so I joined the fan club and managed to snag two tickets - he sold out 5-10 shows at Pine Knob Music Theater. I think he's trying to beat Kid Rock's record cuz Kid Rock beat Bob Seger's record for sold out shows at Pine Knob, right next to where I live in Clarkston Michigan.
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: 73?
	♥ 11:08am steveo: having heard seger's earlier work (thanks to Joe McG) my appreciation for his hits has somehow grown
	♥ 11:09am frozen_peas: wait when does anyone ever disparage Elvis?
	11:09am randyfrommichigan: @Tim one of Bob Seger's houses (the one with the recording studio) is about a 1/4 mile from my house in Clarkston MI ... I see him occasionally in his Mustang or on his motorcycle.
	11:09am RomanDogBird: i love limahl
	11:09am emily: I will always love a little Bob Seger. I can forgive him anything for "night moves" and "nutbush city limits"
	11:10am HarktheUmpire: spinvis > elvis
	♥ 11:11am Ike: @steveo, I thought the great surface noise could get me through it, but about 70% of the way through I started to get REALLY sleazed out. What a grodey song! But the sleaze really sneaks up on you. It started out sounding a lot less offensive and slimy and then suddenly at the end it snowballs! UGH! I need a shower! You people who think his earlier work is better are all nuts! His early stuff blows goats too! UGH. [shudders]
	♥ 11:11am Gaylord Fields: Joe, I was in transit during the FXO tribute set, but if it plays half as well as it reads, it is a fitting encomium indeed to our fallen comrade in the ongoing battle against anodyne radio!
	11:12am queems: “boy are they loud” made me lol
	♥ 11:12am tim from champaign: @randy - wow! so cool! I'm a recovering Bob Seger hater. I came around with the Seger System and the solo records prior to the Silver Bullet Band.I still can't get with most of the SBB but I do like Feel Like A Number and Hollywood Nights though.
	11:12am prudy: Ike, tell us how you really feel...
	♥ 11:13am steveo: @ike what's wrong with blowing goats?
	♥ 11:13am Gaylord Fields: @frozen_peas: youtu.be...
	♥ 11:13am Ike: ROTFL
	♥ 11:14am tim from champaign: Bob Seger is to Michigan as The Boss is to The Jerse.
	11:14am HarktheUmpire: who's talking about Bob Seger? I thought were having a Spinvis vs Elvis debate here
	11:14am randyfrommichigan: @tim I'm a medium fan of Seger, my wife lived in Detroit in the '70's and saw him in his prime ... she dragged me to see him about 10 years ago ... I enjoyed his concert more than I thought I would ... since it's his final tour I thought it would be worth going.
	11:14am John in Bklyn: @Gaylord: That was my first thought, too!! haha
	11:15am HarktheUmpire: Spinvis is to 30-something-year-old Dutch folks as Elvis is to their mothers
	11:15am Roberto: Oh wow noo Broose. Presumably my wife, noted doctor of Springsteenology, will be acquiring.
	11:15am randyfrommichigan: @Tim and I do like Hollywood Nights a lot too ... can't get into Old Time Rock and Roll or a lot of his other hits
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Gaylord: Thanks, Gaylord! I only knew Frank a short time, comparatively, but I really liked him and we always had fun talks. I liked your internal tribute very much.
	11:16am zopa: For a second there I thought I was listening to Tom Waits...
	11:16am prudy: who's playing lap steel on this? Would have liked more of it...
	♥ 11:16am Matt Fiveash: Bruce sounds like Everybody's Talkin' at him!
	♥ 11:16am Ike: @steveo, one time I was more specific about something that blew goats. Maybe it was Don Felder's Tuesday Morning Atrocity. I think I said, "He not only blows goats, he's also terrible at it! The goats don't even enjoy it!" That didn't seem to get any traction in the comments though. Or maybe it was just too gross. So I went back to just plain straight-up accusations of goat-blowing.
	11:16am Listener Scott: Harry Nilsson's Everybody's talking at Bruce. (not throwing shade at all, I like this)
	11:17am John in Bklyn: Seger, The Boss and Lamal. What's not to love about SN with J McG?? Springsteen's voice sounds really different on this new stuff. This sounds like Midnight Cowboy.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign: OK, who's better Fat Elvis or Skinny Elvis. I'm lukewarm about Skinny Elvis but Fat Elvis is where it's at. The songs Joe played, Burning Love, Kentucky Rain. Those are gems.
	11:17am randyfrommichigan: sorry I am not a Bruce fan ... only songs I like are Brilliant Disguise and Born to Run - IMO an amazing though overplayed classic
	11:17am dez: I feel like this one is right up your alley, joe!
	11:17am annie: i thought it was waylon jennings..
	11:17am randyfrommichigan: actually the Bruce song Joe just played was pretty good
	11:18am Listener Scott: *Honored to have come up with the same thought as Matt, albeit seconds later
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: @Randy - I'm with you on the Seger my Michigan brother.
	11:18am Lewis: not Glenn Campbell, not Kris Kristoferson... hmmm....
	11:18am mauri: real good joe!
	11:19am randyfrommichigan: @Matt @ListenerScott that must be why I liked that Bruce song
	11:19am passiflora: gentle on my mind
	11:19am annie: this is a song i've always loved
	♥ 11:19am Matt Fiveash: Scott, someone owes someone a coke. I'll leave it to you to determine how that works, since you are the sharper legal mind here...
	11:20am KP in DC: Irene, I saw XTC at CBGBs. It was a packed and pretty cool show until they did Dot Dash as an encore and tore the place down.
	♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: Great song. You just don't hear enough references to soup in pop songs.
	11:20am robot rattle: Thanks for playing John Hartford.
	11:20am SKI THE POLOCK: REALY GREAT SHOW BRO
	11:21am Lewis: did hartford write that one?
	♥ 11:21am Hughie Considine: I envy those who saw XTC live.
	♥ 11:21am Ike: That Bruce song was pretty decent! But "Gentle on My Mind"... IDK, it's never 100% clear his partner is totally cool with this whole non-monogamous thing. HE says she is, but is he really a reliable narrator? LOL.
	11:22am Listener Scott: Matt. I'll gladly settle anything for a Coke. If only child custody was this easy.
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: I think of the guy in "Gentle on My Mind" as the flip side of the guy in "Wichita Lineman."
	♥ 11:23am Gaylord Fields: @KP in DC: The Wire song "Dot Dash"? I wish I was there!
	11:23am annie: those travelin' people... i just don't know..i can commiserate.
	♥ 11:23am Hughie Considine: I prefer Joanne Worley's solo album.
	♥ 11:24am karlward: Jes call him Country Joe
	11:25am judy from croton: Encomium. Cheers, Gaylord. You gave me a new word today!
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Hughie: I love her cover of "MacArthur Park."
	11:27am Listener Scott: On paper, a Goldie Hawn country song sounds like a far worse idea than it turned out to be
	♥ 11:29am Gaylord Fields: @judy from croton: My card reads "Pedagogy From a Pedant Done Dirt Cheap."
	♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: I'd kill to hear that, @Joe! My favorite was her take on "Hava Nagila": "Have one, nagila have two, nagila have three/ nagila -- they're pretty small...."
	11:30am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Scott I agree Goldie didn't sound bad at all
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha ha ha
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: Del Reeves was in a fab Grade Z movie, Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar. EVERYONE who wasn't anyone was in it: www.imdb.com...
	11:33am SeanG: Yee Haw!
	♥ 11:33am Stevel: Hush cover. Wow.
	11:34am annie: ys, another set i'd love to clicky-star
	11:34am Roberto: Y'all hush now, ya hear?
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Imagine Bobbie Gentry lurking somewhere.
	11:35am listener monica: jeez. hi!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Brian: Can't believe I forgot my box set, what a dummy!
	11:36am John in Bklyn: I hope that Goldie tune doesn't give Kate Hudson any ideas.
	♥ 11:38am tim from champaign: Is this thee Ricky Nelson (minus the y)?
	♥ 11:39am tim from champaign: Joe, this set is unstoppable!
	♥ 11:39am Krys O.: Tim, it's Garden Party era Rick.
	11:39am judy from croton: Oh Gaylord. Quite right
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: That intro sounded like Peter Frampton choking on his talk box.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @tim: Having fun, but I'll shut it down one way or the other! Maybe some more classic rock?
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe, especially the tribute. Guess there will be few this week. See Gaylord showed respect.
	♥ 11:44am Ike: For a sec there I thought Joe typed, "Can't believe I forgot my sex bot, what a dummy!" I was like, what the heck did I wander into here?!?!?
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, I see Gaylord did a very nice tribute to open his show. I rarely get to hear Gaylord in real time since I'm prepping my show when he's on the air. :(
	11:45am John in Bklyn: Great show and tribute, Joe. Have a good one, Noisers!
	♥ 11:45am tim from champaign: Country boogie!
	11:48am SeanG: hell yeah
	♥ 11:48am tim from champaign: Hahaha - oh man, Joe! You out did yourself.

	♥ 9:35am melinda: Why did the Moogfest move from Asheville to Durham? @Annie cool!
	9:36am davefromtoronto: this has all the ingredients to sound dated but doesn't...
	9:37am annie: i'mnot sure why melinda,i have my suspicions that the CoA wasnotable to "obtain" the party rights for festivals..i'm kind-of glad... asheville ruins clebrations many times..
	♥ 9:37am Asheville Jon: Annie, it's probably the main reason i am really sick of living here. the whole plasticity it's becoming. well, has become

	♥ 9:48am Irene Trudel: Thanks for the shout out to Frank, Joe! Still hard to believe. "Judy Get Down" might be a song I first heard him play. How about some XTC in FXO's honor?
	9:49am annie: where do you live now,linda?
	9:49am Listener Scott: I totally love that you're doing a FXO tribute set Joe. I never knew Frank, only enjoyed his shows. But he was one of the first DJs whose shows I'd listen to on archive if I missed.

	9:52am Roberto: I "discovered" Black Sea during my senior year in college ('87-'88) on cassette. I wore that mofo out while chilling on the back porch of my house.
	9:52am John in Bklyn: One of my fave XTC tunes! Black Sea is a mini masterpiece.
	♥ 9:52am Irene Trudel: Good morning Linda!
	9:54am Linda Lee: miss hearing you, i must say. :-)
	9:54am annie: i moved here 7 years ago... some hartwick college friends invited me down...i love the mountains.... magical place for sure

	♥ 9:54am Irene Trudel: Hope to be back soon, Linda!
	♥ 9:55am steveo: great tribute; sorry for your loss, Joe & everyone
	9:55am John in Bklyn: Joe, don't know if you remember "Rock 107" in Scranton, PA. They actually used to play XTC, Gary Numan, et al. for a brief period mixed in with classic rock. c.1979-80
	9:55am Linda Lee: wonderful.
	9:56am Roberto: My friend had bought Black Sea on vinyl based on the chorus of "Respectable Street" alone. He was somewhat disappointed with the remainder of its content but I was not.
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @John: I do. I grew up with Rock 107. They weren't bad for a spell!
	9:57am John in Bklyn: @Irene: Wow! They didn't tour very much after Andy's stage fright break down. That show might me on YT. There are a bunch of Capitol concerts posted.
	9:57am Linda Lee: @Roberto ~ & so one of you became an fmu listener & the other did not. right?
	9:59am Roberto: I'm not sure if he listens. He lives in Alabama now.
	9:59am John in Bklyn: @Joe: It was a little oasis in a sea of Top 40 stations! Thanks to that and WRKC I was introduced to a lot of interesting new music back in the day.
	9:59am Linda Lee: @annie ~ yes. indeed. nourishing & magical. i hope to stay in the chain if i can.
	♥ 10:00am steveo: smiling
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @John: I did my first radio show on WRKC. I won a contest and they let me come and do a show!
	10:01am Linda Lee: really lovely set, Joe. what a sweet tribute!
	10:02am Peter in tappan: Marco playing a new venue at industry city in sunset park in June, he’s always great with lots of surprises
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @Linda Lee: Frank was always a great guy, super welcoming to me even when I was all green. He used to call me "McG."
	10:03am Roberto: Oh, and I was delighted last weekend when I was shopping at an H-Mart on Long Island and "Senses Working Overtime" came over the P.A.
	♥ 10:04am Irene Trudel: @John, I haven't found the video yet but did find the concert program for XTC, April 11th 1981. I didn't remember that both Joan Jett and Jools Holland were also on the bill.
	10:06am John in Bklyn: @Joe: That's great! I had a friend who worked there c. 1985. She let me sub a few shifts It was a blast. But I later got in trouble for played a NAQ Butthole Surfers song. I don't think you could even SAY "Butthole Surfers" on radio back then!
	♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: Oh yes the Beach Boys.
	10:07am davefromtoronto: this might be BW's greatest tune. IMHO...
	10:08am John in Bklyn: @Irene: Wow, you got to see the Haley's Comet of rock! What a line-up!
	10:08am Jack: Frank O'Toole was on Saturday evenings for a long while. He was one of the few DJ's on FMU who would play the Dead. I have many of his premiums.
	10:09am frenchee: awesome tribute so far, Joe. I just hope I don't start bawling at work....
	10:11am Linda Lee: what a fine memory to keep, Joe!

	10:13am Linda Lee: as always, kids: live well. time is short.
	♥ 10:15am Sem: Good morning, Joe, McGaskos everywhere, and strangers stumbing upon this show for the first time. You always remember your first time.
	10:17am elwyn: I really love the song "Fearless" but the only versions I own are by Low and by Mary Lou Lord.
	♥ 10:30am frozen_peas: this is a nice version
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: I agree! :)
	♥ 10:34am karlward: Aw shucks
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Oh, good, you're still out there! Thanks for sending the EP, Karl, I like it!
	10:39am emily: I've had a lot of interrupted listening. Did I hear correctly: did Frank O'Toole die? I'm very sorry if this is true. His mixes were mind blowing. I loved his opening music. Very sad if this is true.
	♥ 10:40am Irene Trudel: @John, can't find a recording or video of that XTC concert but did find a recording from few nights later from Emerald City for WMMR. youtu.be...
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @emily: Yes, sadly true. :(
	10:40am Linda Lee: too true, emily

	10:47am emily: love Kajagoogoo (or shy to shy)
	10:47am Z-pulpa: Joe McG:just the coffee sip sip, perhaps a french roast.
	10:48am Roberto: Gajakookoo!
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @z-pulpa: And a baguette. Indulge me.
	10:48am KP in DC: Good morning, Joe!
	10:48am John in Bklyn: That early MTV video! I could never figure out if the woman who worked at the venue was too shy or the rock star guy was too shy? They never got together. Alas, they were both too shy.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: 1982, sigh
	♥ 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: 2 Shy
	10:50am Colleen: Lovin this...Great show Joe
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Thanks, Colleen! :)
	10:52am John in Bklyn: Delayed response form earlier comment: "New venue in Sunset Park." Eesh. Sign-O-the-Times for Nü Brooklyn™
	10:54am randyfrommichigan: hi @davefromtoronto I've been working and missed the tunes of the past hour plus. I don't know that Beach Boys song you said was one of BW's best, I will listen on Spotify since I missed it on this show.
	♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: Oh lawks another bluddy royal for us to feed. We are importing them from America now.
	♥ 10:55am tim from champaign: Hi Joe and friends. I love these two songs made most famous by Elvis. Joe the Selector!
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: Been busy working this morning, but this seems like a good moment to share my baffling impulse purchase of the weekend: microcosmpublishing.com...
	♥ 10:57am Planet Tyler: Alas, then Mick Harevy and Blixa left and Nick Cave went full on humorless schmaltz
	10:57am judy from croton: Hey joe and all I missed lots today. Archiving listening later. Frank was a lighthouse searchlight for me starting in 1979. And he will continue to be.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @tim: I'd picked out the Mark James and when I saw the Nick Cave, I couldn't resist a bit of programming.
	10:59am judy from croton: He knew how to do friendship, too. I loved him a lot.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @judy: Yes, it's a great loss to us and to radio.
	♥ 11:04am holland oats: night cheese
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign: Hahahaha - I have Bob Seger and Stereolab records. I never thought to play them next to each other. Nice "move" Joe!
	11:05am prudy: this morning on Wake we were just talking about how Seger's Silver Bullet era sucked compared to his earlier blues era.
	♥ 11:05am tim from champaign: Being a Michigander, Bob Seger is never to far away. www.mlive.com...
	♥ 11:06am Ike: Ew, Bob Seger. Gross. :P ;)
	11:06am queems: i enjoyed that
	11:07am jess: i think I've reached my Bob Seger limit today
	♥ 11:07am steveo: great surface noise on that seger
	11:07am randyfrommichigan: One of my friends that moved from Canada to Michigan (like me) has become a big Bob Seger fan and she wanted to see his farewell tour this summer so I joined the fan club and managed to snag two tickets - he sold out 5-10 shows at Pine Knob Music Theater. I think he's trying to beat Kid Rock's record cuz Kid Rock beat Bob Seger's record for sold out shows at Pine Knob, right next to where I live in Clarkston Michigan.
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: 73?
	♥ 11:08am steveo: having heard seger's earlier work (thanks to Joe McG) my appreciation for his hits has somehow grown
	♥ 11:09am frozen_peas: wait when does anyone ever disparage Elvis?
	11:09am randyfrommichigan: @Tim one of Bob Seger's houses (the one with the recording studio) is about a 1/4 mile from my house in Clarkston MI ... I see him occasionally in his Mustang or on his motorcycle.
	11:09am RomanDogBird: i love limahl
	11:09am emily: I will always love a little Bob Seger. I can forgive him anything for "night moves" and "nutbush city limits"
	11:10am HarktheUmpire: spinvis > elvis
	♥ 11:11am Ike: @steveo, I thought the great surface noise could get me through it, but about 70% of the way through I started to get REALLY sleazed out. What a grodey song! But the sleaze really sneaks up on you. It started out sounding a lot less offensive and slimy and then suddenly at the end it snowballs! UGH! I need a shower! You people who think his earlier work is better are all nuts! His early stuff blows goats too! UGH. [shudders]
	♥ 11:11am Gaylord Fields: Joe, I was in transit during the FXO tribute set, but if it plays half as well as it reads, it is a fitting encomium indeed to our fallen comrade in the ongoing battle against anodyne radio!
	11:12am queems: “boy are they loud” made me lol
	♥ 11:12am tim from champaign: @randy - wow! so cool! I'm a recovering Bob Seger hater. I came around with the Seger System and the solo records prior to the Silver Bullet Band.I still can't get with most of the SBB but I do like Feel Like A Number and Hollywood Nights though.
	11:12am prudy: Ike, tell us how you really feel...
	♥ 11:13am steveo: @ike what's wrong with blowing goats?
	♥ 11:13am Gaylord Fields: @frozen_peas: youtu.be...
	♥ 11:13am Ike: ROTFL
	♥ 11:14am tim from champaign: Bob Seger is to Michigan as The Boss is to The Jerse.
	11:14am HarktheUmpire: who's talking about Bob Seger? I thought were having a Spinvis vs Elvis debate here
	11:14am randyfrommichigan: @tim I'm a medium fan of Seger, my wife lived in Detroit in the '70's and saw him in his prime ... she dragged me to see him about 10 years ago ... I enjoyed his concert more than I thought I would ... since it's his final tour I thought it would be worth going.
	11:14am John in Bklyn: @Gaylord: That was my first thought, too!! haha
	11:15am HarktheUmpire: Spinvis is to 30-something-year-old Dutch folks as Elvis is to their mothers
	11:15am Roberto: Oh wow noo Broose. Presumably my wife, noted doctor of Springsteenology, will be acquiring.
	11:15am randyfrommichigan: @Tim and I do like Hollywood Nights a lot too ... can't get into Old Time Rock and Roll or a lot of his other hits
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Gaylord: Thanks, Gaylord! I only knew Frank a short time, comparatively, but I really liked him and we always had fun talks. I liked your internal tribute very much.
	11:16am zopa: For a second there I thought I was listening to Tom Waits...
	11:16am prudy: who's playing lap steel on this? Would have liked more of it...
	♥ 11:16am Matt Fiveash: Bruce sounds like Everybody's Talkin' at him!
	♥ 11:16am Ike: @steveo, one time I was more specific about something that blew goats. Maybe it was Don Felder's Tuesday Morning Atrocity. I think I said, "He not only blows goats, he's also terrible at it! The goats don't even enjoy it!" That didn't seem to get any traction in the comments though. Or maybe it was just too gross. So I went back to just plain straight-up accusations of goat-blowing.
	11:16am Listener Scott: Harry Nilsson's Everybody's talking at Bruce. (not throwing shade at all, I like this)
	11:17am John in Bklyn: Seger, The Boss and Lamal. What's not to love about SN with J McG?? Springsteen's voice sounds really different on this new stuff. This sounds like Midnight Cowboy.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign: OK, who's better Fat Elvis or Skinny Elvis. I'm lukewarm about Skinny Elvis but Fat Elvis is where it's at. The songs Joe played, Burning Love, Kentucky Rain. Those are gems.
	11:17am randyfrommichigan: sorry I am not a Bruce fan ... only songs I like are Brilliant Disguise and Born to Run - IMO an amazing though overplayed classic
	11:17am dez: I feel like this one is right up your alley, joe!
	11:17am annie: i thought it was waylon jennings..
	11:17am randyfrommichigan: actually the Bruce song Joe just played was pretty good
	11:18am Listener Scott: *Honored to have come up with the same thought as Matt, albeit seconds later
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: @Randy - I'm with you on the Seger my Michigan brother.
	11:18am Lewis: not Glenn Campbell, not Kris Kristoferson... hmmm....
	11:18am mauri: real good joe!
	11:19am randyfrommichigan: @Matt @ListenerScott that must be why I liked that Bruce song
	11:19am passiflora: gentle on my mind
	11:19am annie: this is a song i've always loved
	♥ 11:19am Matt Fiveash: Scott, someone owes someone a coke. I'll leave it to you to determine how that works, since you are the sharper legal mind here...
	11:20am KP in DC: Irene, I saw XTC at CBGBs. It was a packed and pretty cool show until they did Dot Dash as an encore and tore the place down.
	♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: Great song. You just don't hear enough references to soup in pop songs.
	11:20am robot rattle: Thanks for playing John Hartford.
	11:20am SKI THE POLOCK: REALY GREAT SHOW BRO
	11:21am Lewis: did hartford write that one?
	♥ 11:21am Hughie Considine: I envy those who saw XTC live.
	♥ 11:21am Ike: That Bruce song was pretty decent! But "Gentle on My Mind"... IDK, it's never 100% clear his partner is totally cool with this whole non-monogamous thing. HE says she is, but is he really a reliable narrator? LOL.
	11:22am Listener Scott: Matt. I'll gladly settle anything for a Coke. If only child custody was this easy.
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: I think of the guy in "Gentle on My Mind" as the flip side of the guy in "Wichita Lineman."
	♥ 11:23am Gaylord Fields: @KP in DC: The Wire song "Dot Dash"? I wish I was there!
	11:23am annie: those travelin' people... i just don't know..i can commiserate.
	♥ 11:23am Hughie Considine: I prefer Joanne Worley's solo album.
	♥ 11:24am karlward: Jes call him Country Joe
	11:25am judy from croton: Encomium. Cheers, Gaylord. You gave me a new word today!
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Hughie: I love her cover of "MacArthur Park."
	11:27am Listener Scott: On paper, a Goldie Hawn country song sounds like a far worse idea than it turned out to be
	♥ 11:29am Gaylord Fields: @judy from croton: My card reads "Pedagogy From a Pedant Done Dirt Cheap."
	♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: I'd kill to hear that, @Joe! My favorite was her take on "Hava Nagila": "Have one, nagila have two, nagila have three/ nagila -- they're pretty small...."
	11:30am randyfrommichigan: @Listener Scott I agree Goldie didn't sound bad at all
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha ha ha
	♥ 11:33am Krys O.: Del Reeves was in a fab Grade Z movie, Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar. EVERYONE who wasn't anyone was in it: www.imdb.com...
	11:33am SeanG: Yee Haw!
	♥ 11:33am Stevel: Hush cover. Wow.
	11:34am annie: ys, another set i'd love to clicky-star
	11:34am Roberto: Y'all hush now, ya hear?
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Imagine Bobbie Gentry lurking somewhere.
	11:35am listener monica: jeez. hi!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Brian: Can't believe I forgot my box set, what a dummy!
	11:36am John in Bklyn: I hope that Goldie tune doesn't give Kate Hudson any ideas.
	♥ 11:38am tim from champaign: Is this thee Ricky Nelson (minus the y)?
	♥ 11:39am tim from champaign: Joe, this set is unstoppable!
	♥ 11:39am Krys O.: Tim, it's Garden Party era Rick.
	11:39am judy from croton: Oh Gaylord. Quite right
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: That intro sounded like Peter Frampton choking on his talk box.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @tim: Having fun, but I'll shut it down one way or the other! Maybe some more classic rock?
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe, especially the tribute. Guess there will be few this week. See Gaylord showed respect.
	♥ 11:44am Ike: For a sec there I thought Joe typed, "Can't believe I forgot my sex bot, what a dummy!" I was like, what the heck did I wander into here?!?!?
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, I see Gaylord did a very nice tribute to open his show. I rarely get to hear Gaylord in real time since I'm prepping my show when he's on the air. :(
	11:45am John in Bklyn: Great show and tribute, Joe. Have a good one, Noisers!
	♥ 11:45am tim from champaign: Country boogie!
	11:48am SeanG: hell yeah
	♥ 11:48am tim from champaign: Hahaha - oh man, Joe! You out did yourself.
	11:48am sim: Dazed and Confused.
	11:49am SKI THE POLOCK: O YEAH THE TOXIC TWINS
	♥ 11:49am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG: Thanks for the shout-out to my FXO tribute.
	11:49am listener monica: drivin' music.
	11:49am prudy: oy...the worst of Tyler and company
	11:49am RomanDogBird: I PULLED INTO TOWN IN A POLICE CAR
	♥ 11:50am tim from champaign: The only song that could finish off this set is DOA by Van Halen.
	11:52am annie: fantastic show joe!!
	♥ 11:54am Krys O.: Many thanks, Joe! Excellent show.
	♥ 11:54am G: Interesting. Wonder whose idea it was to have the Shirelles cover a Guess Who drug song?
	♥ 11:54am Phillippe Bastille: great show Joe!
	11:55am Brendan: Interesting covers today Joe. You however, are the original. We will accept no substitute.
	♥ 11:56am tim from champaign: Thanks for the inspired show today Joe.
	11:56am Brian in New Orleans: Aerosmith!!!!!!!!FUCK Yeah!!! Fabio NEVER plays them ...
	11:56am SeanG: thanks for the wide range of tunes Joe!
	11:58am sim: And that's why we love and respect Fabio.
	♥ 11:59am Sem: Thank you, Joe!
