	9:13am Joe McG: Welcome, fred!
	9:16am Snoochienucci: Theres something about Joe McG on a rainy day that just feels right
	9:22am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Nice to have you along. I thought today was going to be sunny so I threw out everything I planned to play at the last minute. @pantz: True.
	9:26am TDK60: Bruce bought some new cowboy boots; his Nebraska ones are shot.
	9:28am Brendan: Good moisting. Nice day to take the ark out.
	9:31am Mick: Oh man, Lee Marvin. Paint Your Wagon?
	9:31am prudy: wow...this Lee Marvin is great!
	9:31am Peter in tappan: Wow
	9:31am MD: I knew that voice!!!! Dirty Dozen!!
	9:31am Tim 07030: Good morning Joe! That Bruce was nice. And check out the pipes on Lee Marvin!
	9:31am MD: Good Summer Morning all!!!
	9:32am Linda Lee: wow. what an amazing record. good morning Joe!
	9:32am MD: THIS IS CLASSIC FMU!!!
	9:32am drew: From my favorite cowboy comedy musical. Thanks, Joe!
	9:32am Brendan: Just recently watched Point Blank (1967). Lee was a cool toughie.
	9:33am Linda Lee: that material didn't seem to suit Leonard Cohen at all!
	9:35am Kudubundu: I hated this Lee Marvin track so much when I was 16! Now I love it so much. How I have changed eh? PS The local record manufacturer dumped a few thousand copies of this 7" on our rubbish dump in 1970 and I happily enjoyed trashing the lot with my "cool" friends. Now I deeply regret it. I didn't even keep one copy for posterity. Sad.
	9:35am Linda Lee: i was confused.
	9:35am MD: hey he was a classic TUFF GUY!!!
	9:36am MD: @Kudubundu...think of all the $ you could have made at the Record Fair!!!!
	9:37am Linda Lee: a sad story indeed, Kudubundu. we do change, though, thankfully!
	9:38am Kudubundu: I do actually feel sad right now, I know the show today will cheer me up though.
	9:38am Linda Lee: don't forget that when you keep treasures for 40 years they also have to be stored. sometimes they have to be moved.
	9:38am Bob: Remember when the were called "Friends of Dean Martin"?
	9:39am Linda Lee: sad is always temporary. let it pass on through.
	9:43am Snoochienucci: This one is awesome!
	9:43am Joe McG: @Bob: Yes, I have a 45 under their original name. @kudubundu: I hope the show cheers you up eventually!
	9:44am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	9:45am Brendan: ‘Stones’ got me thinking about similes and metaphors. A web crawl yielded a very nice pop song https://youtu.be/uoSBVNUO2LU . Give it a listen sometime Joe! Then , get this. Per grammarly.com , “...metaphors directly state a comparison—‘Love is a battlefield.’ “ Whoa!
	9:45am Kudubundu: Thank you @Linda Lee and Joe. :-)
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Hy Joe @Brendan Point Blank is as cool as it gets. Lee Marvin, a hero on screen and in real life.
	9:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: Thanks, Brendan. I read this book years ago called "Metaphors We Live By" and it left a big impression on me. @Alexandra: You're up early, Alex!
	9:47am pantz: She manages 2 puns in the band name. Impressive!
	👻 9:47am karlward: I'm so lost in this Blue Gene Tyranny track.
	9:47am Listener Alexandra: Yes, the hound got us up early today :-)
	👻 9:48am karlward: What's happening right now? Why is there someone playing synth on the roof across the street?
	👻 9:48am karlward: How did they get a pipe organ in here?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Daddy, what's a typewriter?
	👻 9:53am tadpoles: Very neat Joe. The Dadaists would be proud. I think Brian Eno also used a typewriter as an instrument on a track.
	9:53am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha. At least they can be musical instruments now. Tom Hanks collects them!
	9:54am tak: got a buddy uses a cash register on his mechatechno duet
	9:54am Brendan: Thanks Joe, thats a good endorsement- I’ll give it a read. I ‘m sorry I didn’t give similes equal time so here’s a cringeworthy one. ‘Fly like an eagle’.
	9:55am fred: I vaguely remember another typewriter ensemble from earlier WFMU shows. From Africa I think. But I can't remember the country
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Penguin Cafe Orchestra started one tune with a telephone ring.
	9:58am queems: this is so pretty
	9:59am queems: i have it playing on my radio and the app at the same time for double the twinkle
	10:00am Brendan: @fred Ghanaian Postal Workers - Cancelling Stamps at the University of Ghana Post Office
	10:04am Joe McG: @queems: Double the twinkle! :)
	10:04am MD: IT ALWAYS SOUNDS SO CLASSY IN FRENCH! Given it was written by a classy dude...IT'S SUPERCLASSY!!
	10:06am fred: @Brendan: That's a nice track too, but it's not the one I was thinking of
	10:08am steveo: good morning... busy at work & enjoying with my ears
	10:09am S_Rah: I can hardly explain right now. These songs are helping me cry. Merci, des pleurs sont mes prières.
	10:10am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): like, hi!
	10:10am Joe McG: @S-Rah: It's good to get it out! De rien.
	10:12am S_Rah: I wish I could find more about the ‘72 Allegras. That’s what drew me in.
	10:14am SeanG: Gilberto!
	10:15am tak: nice daggers to the heart music.
	10:16am ChrisB.: I knew you'd tip your cap to Joao today, Joe.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Chris: Oops, just played the wrong track, but Joao wouldn't mind, I hope! :)
	10:20am βrian: João-wee.
	10:22am tak: no no this is much more uplifting that the other two!
	10:24am tak: oh nos meus braços os abraços...
	10:24am TDK60: Obrigado for the Gilberto.
	10:26am fred: I personally don't care for his music, but I'm thinking about a Brazilian friend who loves it and this loss will surely be a blow to her mood
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: This makes a good soundtrack to the tour de france. Never been a big fan of Brazilian music for some reason.
	10:30am tak: the whole of Brasil is a sad state of affairs
	10:30am TDK60: Brazil's got lots to be ashamed of these days.. but no bragging from here! (USA).
	10:36am fred: @TDK60: No reason to brag here either (France)
	10:36am Fernando P: JG gave the rights to his songs as ensurance to a bank loan years ago to cover a lawsuit about a tour he cancelled. at the time was promoted as his farewell tour...
	10:37am Joe McG: @Fernando: So sad!!
	10:39am ChrisB.: So, Mamas & Papas in there, too?
	10:41am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Definitely!
	10:41am fred: Any mention of a farewell tour reminds of how a former friend didn't show up for his high-school graduation exam to catch the Rolling Stones' farewell tour. In 1990
	10:42am prudy: love this song...describes the US right now quite well...
	10:43am Linda Lee: the Stones? farewell to what?
	10:43am Marc Francis: I love the Specials version of this! From their new album!
	👻 10:43am tadpoles: @fred ...I gotta smile at that.
	10:44am Linda Lee: someone sell a castle?
	10:46am Joe McG: I'm failing at the three things.
	10:47am Brendan: One of the Fun Boy Three sounded like Morrissey
	10:47am chresti @griffith Park: Hello
	10:47am Mike tp: ho ho
	10:47am Linda Lee: even the tree, Joe?
	10:47am TDK60: Amazing that the Specials' recent 'Encore' album debuted at No. 1 in England.
	10:47am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Fail at 15 more things and it’s a Mitzvah!
	10:47am Joe McG: @Linda Lee: Not even the tree!
	10:47am drr: I got here late, but a great song with typewriter as instrument is the Lovin' Spoonful's "Money".
	10:48am tom: got here late, this is going back a ways in comments, but the lovin' spoonfuls money has typewriter percussion.
	10:48am Linda Lee: try that one, at least. forget the other two! :-)
	10:49am davefromtoronto: 3 for 3!
	10:49am Linda Lee: we need more trees, fewer sons.
	10:49am Mike tp: enjoying this dust..!!!
	10:49am Joe McG: Good goin', dave!
	10:50am tak: marry a tree
	10:51am Mike tp: gonna have a cup ah Joe while listening to Joe.!!!!!
	10:51am davefromtoronto: i should've planted my wife and married the tree...
	10:51am drr: Uh, hi, Tom. Are we on the same wavelength or what?
	10:51am Linda Lee: oh my! here comes the summer of '72!! right on, Joe! beautiful!
	10:52am prudy: right there with you LL!
	10:52am Joe McG: @Mike tp: Sounds like a good plan for a Monday morning. :)
	10:52am spacecowboy: malo!
	10:52am fred: If a man must do three things, does it mean a woman must do four to get equal credit?
	10:53am tom: I guess so. I've never seen that happen in comments before
	10:53am spacecowboy: sweeet wish it was sunny would be perfect
	10:53am ami a.d.: HellO D.J. Joe,hello cruel world.
	10:54am Linda Lee: fred, i believe she gets extra credit for enabling 2 of the 3. that's why they compete for the opportunity.
	10:54am spacecowboy: dare i request el barrio by jose felicano?
	10:55am Marc Francis: @ TDK60: Yes! I was a little worried, well you know, that the might just be mediocre or worse. But damn! What a great record. I've been playing it non stop!
	10:55am spacecowboy: is joao astrid?
	10:56am Joe McG: Great track, spacecowboy, but I don't have that 45 with me. That's "Hard Times," right? @ami: Good to see you, my friend.
	10:56am Linda Lee: quick, where's my Lemon Up?
	10:57am TDK60: Marc: Got to see the Specials a few weeks back. Haven't heard the album yet...
	10:58am Roberto: Speaking of Marc -- Tee Wrecks!
	👻 10:59am tadpoles: This was when Marc Bolan was so prolific he put out 3 songs per single to give fans value for money. Neat.
	11:06am βrian: A short list is a good list.
	11:07am TDK60: ..there were lots of anti-nuke songs in the '80s, especially from the UK ska, punk, new wave, pop scenes.
	11:10am Linda Lee: 60s varierty shows! that means a comedian, a ventriloqust & some jugglers!
	11:11am Linda Lee: maybe a poodle in a tutu.
	11:14am Joe McG: We have a winner, thanks for the e-mails!
	👻 11:18am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Very Peter Gabriel...
	👻 11:19am Hughie Considine: Can't recall any other singer going this on-the-nose in the Gabriel department.
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: Variety shows or end of the pier pointlessness as Viv Stanshall would put it.
	11:21am βrian: A play on "end-of-land sadness?"
	11:23am Rich in Washington: That Von Spar track also reminded me of Bill Nelson, c. 1983 or so.
	11:25am prudy: I love Dean's pathetic whine on this cover...
	11:26am Roberto: Looks like Galaxie 500 and I were in the same mindset in 1989 -- I was hanging out with some friends attempting to cover Sex Pistols tunes.
	11:26am Joe McG: Great comp, Rich! :)
	11:28am Sean B.: This Galaxie 500 is da bomb. ☺
	11:28am βrian: Auntie Christ!
	11:28am TDK60: ..wonder if Peel liked that..
	11:32am Roberto: Ha ha I was also briefly in a college band in 1988 where we boogie-woogie covered Anarchy in the UK.
	11:32am adampsyche: thank you Joe for another great show and another ridiculous and awesome cover! adding to the campfire playlist
	11:33am Joe McG: Nice to hear, adampsyche!
	11:33am Irene Trudel: Great show as always, Joe! Gotta run on to other things now.
	11:33am prudy: this cover is hilarious...for some reason it reminds me of Holland Dozier songs...
	11:34am Rich in Washington: This is amazing, Joe!
	11:34am Yvang: The sexy Pistols
	11:35am Roberto: I tried to play this version of Pretty Vacant for a friend once. She couldn't. Even. I bloody love it.
	11:35am rw: Wow. I've been half-listening at my desk here and just realized we've been hearing Sex Pistols covers for the past 10 min. or so.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign: Hi Jo and everybody! We need more Pistols done in jazz brunch style.
	11:36am βrian: I want to hear the Sex Pistils.
	11:36am prudy: another great hit!!!
	11:37am Yvang: The Baby Pistols
	11:37am GloTato: just BRILLIANT
	11:37am Rich in Washington: Hybrid Kids!
	11:37am fred: I remember a great cover of Pretty Vacant from one of Rob's premiums
	👻 11:38am tim from champaign: Now this should have been on Chipmunk Punk (keep the Billy Joel though)!
	11:38am rsj: They should do a catholic girls cover
	11:39am Roberto: Wow, someone actually thought of this within a year of the initial release of Bollocks.
	11:40am frenchee: I've been trying to resist posting, but Punky and Porky must be noted. #heliumoverdose
	11:40am frenchee: waiting patiently for Weird Al!
	11:41am KP in DC: Fred, I’d remember that myself but I’m Pretty Vacant
	11:42am Jeff Moore: These are a hoot. Yeah, actually my first experience of hearing easy-listening Sex Pistols (aside from their own satiric effort) was from a band playing to amuse a seaside patio brunch crowd in Brighton around the year 2000. It caused a little shock of recognition that (a) those songs had actually been around awhile by then, and (b) sure, that can be done to any song.
	11:42am adampsyche: Wasn't their last song a No Fun cover? www.rollingstone.com...
	11:42am Rich in Washington: @Roberto: there's at least one disco cover of a Pistols' track that was within a year or two of the album coming out, and not made by anyone affiliated with them (Malcom, et al).
	11:43am prudy: any song by Joan Jett makes me happy...
	11:43am fred: I've used the "Don't know what I want but I know how to get it" line a few times over the years as a job description as a dev. Few people get it, it's an old man reference
	11:44am frenchee: Joan Jett singing British sounds very Courtney Barnett to these 'murrican ears
	11:44am adampsyche: terrific set
	11:44am Dano59: love the pistols covers!
	11:44am frenchee: I'd hire you, Fred. But I am also an old.
	11:44am KP in DC: Speaking of Uk, i was just over there for the baseball games. The good guys won and the Queen was Saved.
	11:45am fred: The Pretty Vacant I was talking about earlier was by Shikisha
	11:45am Asheville Jon: i missed the reason for all the sex pistols covers. did johnny rotten die?
	11:45am Dominick: loving this
	11:46am steveo: i heard the original anarchy in the uk over the weekend and I remarked on how it sounds like pure bubble gum pop to me now, which I suppose is only a testament to its influence
	11:47am adrienn e: into this set!
	11:47am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:47am Krys O.: BTW--I'm the Auntie Krys! ;)
	11:48am garethgoape: I do hope Punky & Porky covered some other Punk songs. Would love to hear them tackle Buzzcocks 'Orgasm Addict'
	11:48am frenchee: LOL, Krys O.
	11:48am Hubig Pie: @Adsmpsyche, have you seen The Filth and the Fury?
	11:49am ami a.d.: Yes sir
	11:49am The Oscar: Hey-- been too busy working to post much, but HOLY COW I'm going to need to know more about this Voice Actress CD. (Also great show, but you knew that ;)
	11:50am Asheville Jon: no. i live a sheltered life in the basement. :(
	11:50am adampsyche: @hubig no but it sounds like an endorsement :)
	11:51am Joe McG: @Oscar: It's amazing. Track down a copy and you won't regret it!
	11:51am Joe McG: www.discogs.com...
	11:52am Mark in Toronto: Must people always assume that someone has died whenever a DJ plays a bunch of songs by or ade famous by an artist! Just because Joe played a few Joao Gilberto songs earlier... Oh, wait.
	11:52am adampsyche: @Asheville not that I've heard but that didn't stop Station Manager Ken from opening a set with like 17 covers of No Fun and as far as I know Iggy Pop lives
	11:53am adampsyche: No Fun (Ken) wfmu.org...
	👻 11:54am tadpoles: Great show thanks Joe. Love it. @garthgoape ...Hybrid Kids (Punky & Porky) was Morgan Fisher doing a bunch of personas....does a great "Wuthering Heights" ...as Jah Wurtzel.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening to the silly turn this show has taken! Have a great week everyone, and I'll see you next time.
	11:54am prudy: thanks for a great show Joe...as always!
	11:54am Hubig Pie: @Adampsyche, highly endorsed. And yes , No Fun was the Pistols last song. Played it for 20 minutes and called it a day
	11:55am adampsyche: :)
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe
	11:55am steveo: thanks joe! just updated my personal statemnet to "I want to be anarchy."
	11:56am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe! enjoyed the parts of the show i was able to hear.
	11:56am KP in DC: For some reason this reminds of when I wad walking in Times Square and said to mysel, OMG tHats Johnny Rotten walking right toward me ... oh it’s only Richard Butler.
	11:56am garethgoape: Thanks @tadpoles
	11:57am fred: Ken also infamously played hours of Bohemian Rhapsody decades after the original culprit died
	11:57am Mick: Thanks for that craziness!
	11:57am TomDash: Still need that Los Punkrockers record - great set!
	11:57am rw: Thanks Joe!!!
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks for brightening Monday mornings Joe

	👻 9:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Would like to see the look in DJ Joe's face with a brand-new 45 and no detectable surface noise to be found.
	9:08am pantz: I heard tell Joe once shot a man just for scratching his 45's.
	9:08am Joe McG: @Ken: It looks like this: :)))))))))))))))) Hi, everybody, and welcome to the show! Thanks for joining me today.

	9:13am Joe McG: Welcome, fred!
	9:16am Snoochienucci: Theres something about Joe McG on a rainy day that just feels right
	9:22am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Nice to have you along. I thought today was going to be sunny so I threw out everything I planned to play at the last minute. @pantz: True.
	9:26am TDK60: Bruce bought some new cowboy boots; his Nebraska ones are shot.
	9:28am Brendan: Good moisting. Nice day to take the ark out.

	9:31am MD: I knew that voice!!!! Dirty Dozen!!

	9:31am MD: Good Summer Morning all!!!
	9:32am Linda Lee: wow. what an amazing record. good morning Joe!
	9:32am MD: THIS IS CLASSIC FMU!!!
	9:32am drew: From my favorite cowboy comedy musical. Thanks, Joe!
	9:32am Brendan: Just recently watched Point Blank (1967). Lee was a cool toughie.
	9:33am Linda Lee: that material didn't seem to suit Leonard Cohen at all!
	9:35am Kudubundu: I hated this Lee Marvin track so much when I was 16! Now I love it so much. How I have changed eh? PS The local record manufacturer dumped a few thousand copies of this 7" on our rubbish dump in 1970 and I happily enjoyed trashing the lot with my "cool" friends. Now I deeply regret it. I didn't even keep one copy for posterity. Sad.
	9:35am Linda Lee: i was confused.
	9:35am MD: hey he was a classic TUFF GUY!!!
	9:36am MD: @Kudubundu...think of all the $ you could have made at the Record Fair!!!!
	9:37am Linda Lee: a sad story indeed, Kudubundu. we do change, though, thankfully!
	9:38am Kudubundu: I do actually feel sad right now, I know the show today will cheer me up though.
	9:38am Linda Lee: don't forget that when you keep treasures for 40 years they also have to be stored. sometimes they have to be moved.
	9:38am Bob: Remember when the were called "Friends of Dean Martin"?
	9:39am Linda Lee: sad is always temporary. let it pass on through.
	9:43am Snoochienucci: This one is awesome!
	9:43am Joe McG: @Bob: Yes, I have a 45 under their original name. @kudubundu: I hope the show cheers you up eventually!
	9:44am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	9:45am Brendan: ‘Stones’ got me thinking about similes and metaphors. A web crawl yielded a very nice pop song https://youtu.be/uoSBVNUO2LU . Give it a listen sometime Joe! Then , get this. Per grammarly.com , “...metaphors directly state a comparison—‘Love is a battlefield.’ “ Whoa!
	9:45am Kudubundu: Thank you @Linda Lee and Joe. :-)
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Hy Joe @Brendan Point Blank is as cool as it gets. Lee Marvin, a hero on screen and in real life.
	9:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: Thanks, Brendan. I read this book years ago called "Metaphors We Live By" and it left a big impression on me. @Alexandra: You're up early, Alex!
	9:47am pantz: She manages 2 puns in the band name. Impressive!
	👻 9:47am karlward: I'm so lost in this Blue Gene Tyranny track.
	9:47am Listener Alexandra: Yes, the hound got us up early today :-)
	👻 9:48am karlward: What's happening right now? Why is there someone playing synth on the roof across the street?
	👻 9:48am karlward: How did they get a pipe organ in here?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Daddy, what's a typewriter?
	👻 9:53am tadpoles: Very neat Joe. The Dadaists would be proud. I think Brian Eno also used a typewriter as an instrument on a track.
	9:53am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha. At least they can be musical instruments now. Tom Hanks collects them!
	9:54am tak: got a buddy uses a cash register on his mechatechno duet
	9:54am Brendan: Thanks Joe, thats a good endorsement- I’ll give it a read. I ‘m sorry I didn’t give similes equal time so here’s a cringeworthy one. ‘Fly like an eagle’.
	9:55am fred: I vaguely remember another typewriter ensemble from earlier WFMU shows. From Africa I think. But I can't remember the country
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: Penguin Cafe Orchestra started one tune with a telephone ring.
	9:58am queems: this is so pretty
	9:59am queems: i have it playing on my radio and the app at the same time for double the twinkle
	10:00am Brendan: @fred Ghanaian Postal Workers - Cancelling Stamps at the University of Ghana Post Office
	10:04am Joe McG: @queems: Double the twinkle! :)
	10:04am MD: IT ALWAYS SOUNDS SO CLASSY IN FRENCH! Given it was written by a classy dude...IT'S SUPERCLASSY!!
	10:06am fred: @Brendan: That's a nice track too, but it's not the one I was thinking of
	10:08am steveo: good morning... busy at work & enjoying with my ears
	10:09am S_Rah: I can hardly explain right now. These songs are helping me cry. Merci, des pleurs sont mes prières.
	10:10am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): like, hi!
	10:10am Joe McG: @S-Rah: It's good to get it out! De rien.
	10:12am S_Rah: I wish I could find more about the ‘72 Allegras. That’s what drew me in.
	10:14am SeanG: Gilberto!
	10:15am tak: nice daggers to the heart music.
	10:16am ChrisB.: I knew you'd tip your cap to Joao today, Joe.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Chris: Oops, just played the wrong track, but Joao wouldn't mind, I hope! :)
	10:20am βrian: João-wee.
	10:22am tak: no no this is much more uplifting that the other two!
	10:24am tak: oh nos meus braços os abraços...
	10:24am TDK60: Obrigado for the Gilberto.
	10:26am fred: I personally don't care for his music, but I'm thinking about a Brazilian friend who loves it and this loss will surely be a blow to her mood
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: This makes a good soundtrack to the tour de france. Never been a big fan of Brazilian music for some reason.
	10:30am tak: the whole of Brasil is a sad state of affairs
	10:30am TDK60: Brazil's got lots to be ashamed of these days.. but no bragging from here! (USA).
	10:36am fred: @TDK60: No reason to brag here either (France)
	10:36am Fernando P: JG gave the rights to his songs as ensurance to a bank loan years ago to cover a lawsuit about a tour he cancelled. at the time was promoted as his farewell tour...
	10:37am Joe McG: @Fernando: So sad!!
	10:39am ChrisB.: So, Mamas & Papas in there, too?
	10:41am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Definitely!
	10:41am fred: Any mention of a farewell tour reminds of how a former friend didn't show up for his high-school graduation exam to catch the Rolling Stones' farewell tour. In 1990
	10:42am prudy: love this song...describes the US right now quite well...
	10:43am Linda Lee: the Stones? farewell to what?
	10:43am Marc Francis: I love the Specials version of this! From their new album!
	👻 10:43am tadpoles: @fred ...I gotta smile at that.
	10:44am Linda Lee: someone sell a castle?
	10:46am Joe McG: I'm failing at the three things.
	10:47am Brendan: One of the Fun Boy Three sounded like Morrissey
	10:47am chresti @griffith Park: Hello
	10:47am Mike tp: ho ho
	10:47am Linda Lee: even the tree, Joe?
	10:47am TDK60: Amazing that the Specials' recent 'Encore' album debuted at No. 1 in England.
	10:47am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Fail at 15 more things and it’s a Mitzvah!
	10:47am Joe McG: @Linda Lee: Not even the tree!
	10:47am drr: I got here late, but a great song with typewriter as instrument is the Lovin' Spoonful's "Money".
	10:48am tom: got here late, this is going back a ways in comments, but the lovin' spoonfuls money has typewriter percussion.
	10:48am Linda Lee: try that one, at least. forget the other two! :-)
	10:49am davefromtoronto: 3 for 3!
	10:49am Linda Lee: we need more trees, fewer sons.
	10:49am Mike tp: enjoying this dust..!!!
	10:49am Joe McG: Good goin', dave!
	10:50am tak: marry a tree
	10:51am Mike tp: gonna have a cup ah Joe while listening to Joe.!!!!!
	10:51am davefromtoronto: i should've planted my wife and married the tree...
	10:51am drr: Uh, hi, Tom. Are we on the same wavelength or what?
	10:51am Linda Lee: oh my! here comes the summer of '72!! right on, Joe! beautiful!
	10:52am prudy: right there with you LL!
	10:52am Joe McG: @Mike tp: Sounds like a good plan for a Monday morning. :)
	10:52am spacecowboy: malo!
	10:52am fred: If a man must do three things, does it mean a woman must do four to get equal credit?
	10:53am tom: I guess so. I've never seen that happen in comments before
	10:53am spacecowboy: sweeet wish it was sunny would be perfect
	10:53am ami a.d.: HellO D.J. Joe,hello cruel world.
	10:54am Linda Lee: fred, i believe she gets extra credit for enabling 2 of the 3. that's why they compete for the opportunity.
	10:54am spacecowboy: dare i request el barrio by jose felicano?
	10:55am Marc Francis: @ TDK60: Yes! I was a little worried, well you know, that the might just be mediocre or worse. But damn! What a great record. I've been playing it non stop!
	10:55am spacecowboy: is joao astrid?
	10:56am Joe McG: Great track, spacecowboy, but I don't have that 45 with me. That's "Hard Times," right? @ami: Good to see you, my friend.
	10:56am Linda Lee: quick, where's my Lemon Up?
	10:57am TDK60: Marc: Got to see the Specials a few weeks back. Haven't heard the album yet...
	10:58am Roberto: Speaking of Marc -- Tee Wrecks!
	👻 10:59am tadpoles: This was when Marc Bolan was so prolific he put out 3 songs per single to give fans value for money. Neat.
	11:06am βrian: A short list is a good list.
	11:07am TDK60: ..there were lots of anti-nuke songs in the '80s, especially from the UK ska, punk, new wave, pop scenes.
	11:10am Linda Lee: 60s varierty shows! that means a comedian, a ventriloqust & some jugglers!
	11:11am Linda Lee: maybe a poodle in a tutu.
	11:14am Joe McG: We have a winner, thanks for the e-mails!
	👻 11:18am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Very Peter Gabriel...
	👻 11:19am Hughie Considine: Can't recall any other singer going this on-the-nose in the Gabriel department.
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: Variety shows or end of the pier pointlessness as Viv Stanshall would put it.
	11:21am βrian: A play on "end-of-land sadness?"
	11:23am Rich in Washington: That Von Spar track also reminded me of Bill Nelson, c. 1983 or so.
	11:25am prudy: I love Dean's pathetic whine on this cover...
	11:26am Roberto: Looks like Galaxie 500 and I were in the same mindset in 1989 -- I was hanging out with some friends attempting to cover Sex Pistols tunes.
	11:26am Joe McG: Great comp, Rich! :)
	11:28am Sean B.: This Galaxie 500 is da bomb. ☺
	11:28am βrian: Auntie Christ!
	11:28am TDK60: ..wonder if Peel liked that..
	11:32am Roberto: Ha ha I was also briefly in a college band in 1988 where we boogie-woogie covered Anarchy in the UK.
	11:32am adampsyche: thank you Joe for another great show and another ridiculous and awesome cover! adding to the campfire playlist
	11:33am Joe McG: Nice to hear, adampsyche!
	11:33am Irene Trudel: Great show as always, Joe! Gotta run on to other things now.
	11:33am prudy: this cover is hilarious...for some reason it reminds me of Holland Dozier songs...
	11:34am Rich in Washington: This is amazing, Joe!
	11:34am Yvang: The sexy Pistols
	11:35am Roberto: I tried to play this version of Pretty Vacant for a friend once. She couldn't. Even. I bloody love it.
	11:35am rw: Wow. I've been half-listening at my desk here and just realized we've been hearing Sex Pistols covers for the past 10 min. or so.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign: Hi Jo and everybody! We need more Pistols done in jazz brunch style.
	11:36am βrian: I want to hear the Sex Pistils.
	11:36am prudy: another great hit!!!
	11:37am Yvang: The Baby Pistols
	11:37am GloTato: just BRILLIANT
	11:37am Rich in Washington: Hybrid Kids!
	11:37am fred: I remember a great cover of Pretty Vacant from one of Rob's premiums
	👻 11:38am tim from champaign: Now this should have been on Chipmunk Punk (keep the Billy Joel though)!
	11:38am rsj: They should do a catholic girls cover
	11:39am Roberto: Wow, someone actually thought of this within a year of the initial release of Bollocks.
	11:40am frenchee: I've been trying to resist posting, but Punky and Porky must be noted. #heliumoverdose
	11:40am frenchee: waiting patiently for Weird Al!
	11:41am KP in DC: Fred, I’d remember that myself but I’m Pretty Vacant
	11:42am Jeff Moore: These are a hoot. Yeah, actually my first experience of hearing easy-listening Sex Pistols (aside from their own satiric effort) was from a band playing to amuse a seaside patio brunch crowd in Brighton around the year 2000. It caused a little shock of recognition that (a) those songs had actually been around awhile by then, and (b) sure, that can be done to any song.
	11:42am adampsyche: Wasn't their last song a No Fun cover? www.rollingstone.com...
	11:42am Rich in Washington: @Roberto: there's at least one disco cover of a Pistols' track that was within a year or two of the album coming out, and not made by anyone affiliated with them (Malcom, et al).
	11:43am prudy: any song by Joan Jett makes me happy...
	11:43am fred: I've used the "Don't know what I want but I know how to get it" line a few times over the years as a job description as a dev. Few people get it, it's an old man reference
	11:44am frenchee: Joan Jett singing British sounds very Courtney Barnett to these 'murrican ears
	11:44am adampsyche: terrific set
	11:44am Dano59: love the pistols covers!
	11:44am frenchee: I'd hire you, Fred. But I am also an old.
	11:44am KP in DC: Speaking of Uk, i was just over there for the baseball games. The good guys won and the Queen was Saved.
	11:45am fred: The Pretty Vacant I was talking about earlier was by Shikisha
	11:45am Asheville Jon: i missed the reason for all the sex pistols covers. did johnny rotten die?
	11:45am Dominick: loving this
	11:46am steveo: i heard the original anarchy in the uk over the weekend and I remarked on how it sounds like pure bubble gum pop to me now, which I suppose is only a testament to its influence
	11:47am adrienn e: into this set!
	11:47am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:47am Krys O.: BTW--I'm the Auntie Krys! ;)
	11:48am garethgoape: I do hope Punky & Porky covered some other Punk songs. Would love to hear them tackle Buzzcocks 'Orgasm Addict'
	11:48am frenchee: LOL, Krys O.
	11:48am Hubig Pie: @Adsmpsyche, have you seen The Filth and the Fury?
	11:49am ami a.d.: Yes sir
	11:49am The Oscar: Hey-- been too busy working to post much, but HOLY COW I'm going to need to know more about this Voice Actress CD. (Also great show, but you knew that ;)
	11:50am Asheville Jon: no. i live a sheltered life in the basement. :(
	11:50am adampsyche: @hubig no but it sounds like an endorsement :)
	11:51am Joe McG: @Oscar: It's amazing. Track down a copy and you won't regret it!
	11:51am Joe McG: www.discogs.com...
	11:52am Mark in Toronto: Must people always assume that someone has died whenever a DJ plays a bunch of songs by or ade famous by an artist! Just because Joe played a few Joao Gilberto songs earlier... Oh, wait.
	11:52am adampsyche: @Asheville not that I've heard but that didn't stop Station Manager Ken from opening a set with like 17 covers of No Fun and as far as I know Iggy Pop lives
	11:53am adampsyche: No Fun (Ken) wfmu.org...
	👻 11:54am tadpoles: Great show thanks Joe. Love it. @garthgoape ...Hybrid Kids (Punky & Porky) was Morgan Fisher doing a bunch of personas....does a great "Wuthering Heights" ...as Jah Wurtzel.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening to the silly turn this show has taken! Have a great week everyone, and I'll see you next time.
	11:54am prudy: thanks for a great show Joe...as always!
	11:54am Hubig Pie: @Adampsyche, highly endorsed. And yes , No Fun was the Pistols last song. Played it for 20 minutes and called it a day
	11:55am adampsyche: :)
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe
	11:55am steveo: thanks joe! just updated my personal statemnet to "I want to be anarchy."
	11:56am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe! enjoyed the parts of the show i was able to hear.
	11:56am KP in DC: For some reason this reminds of when I wad walking in Times Square and said to mysel, OMG tHats Johnny Rotten walking right toward me ... oh it’s only Richard Butler.
	11:56am garethgoape: Thanks @tadpoles
	11:57am fred: Ken also infamously played hours of Bohemian Rhapsody decades after the original culprit died
	11:57am Mick: Thanks for that craziness!
	11:57am TomDash: Still need that Los Punkrockers record - great set!
	11:57am rw: Thanks Joe!!!
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks for brightening Monday mornings Joe
