12:04pm Bootsie:

One positive about this quarantine... I can listen to ya live over the air!

12:05pm David in London:

Yo Monsieur Bastille. How’s your Monday my friend?

12:06pm Woo:

I can see this band having problems with the spelling and pronunciation of their name. Trickers?

12:06pm Joe B:

Greetings all, thanks for tuning in!

12:07pm Stevel:

MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY!!

12:07pm Matt Fiveash:

Oh hell yeah.

12:07pm Matt Fiveash:

Name that tune in three bass notes...

12:08pm Handy Haversack:

Greg, Phillippe, David in far London town! How goes, friendos?

12:09pm Phillippe Bastille:

@DiL as Monday as Monday can be. How about you?

12:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

STORMING OUT OF THE GATE!!!

12:09pm Chop Scott:

Sounding solid Joe!!

12:11pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe and fellow Monties.

12:11pm Threemoons:

Afternoon Joe, fellow Montes...

12:12pm V Priceless:

JB! Rock!

12:12pm Phillippe Bastille:

@Handy doing ok. Unfortunately stepped on a rusty nail yesterday and my tetanus is out of date, so I have to venture into the world of sick people for a shot. Ugh. How's your world? The daily exercise threat hanging over your head?

👻

12:12pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Joe and fellow Monteez!

12:13pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Greetings, Joe and WFMU folx!

12:14pm Phillippe Bastille:

GSTeeeeeee! How goes it?

12:14pm Handy Haversack:

Gah! I went to the dr. for the first time in 4 years -- and completely blanked on getting a tetanus booster. With my habits ... I need one. I really think it's the sort of thing one should be allowed to do at home, @Phillippe! I have a whole rant about it. I think Kate finds it one of my *most* charming rants!

That's unfun, Phillippe.

12:15pm Squeaky Dave:

Nothing like working at home and listening to 3CM! Hi Joe!

12:16pm listener 126464:

Hi Joe, cheers everybody!

12:16pm Phillippe Bastille:

@Handy Fortunately pharmacists are trained to deliver it, so I'm avoiding docs and ER and crap like that, but pharmacies aren't exactly known for catering to healthy people.

12:17pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Phillippe Bastille: Doing alright, presently. Ouch for the rusty nail and shot adventure. Good luck!

12:17pm Handy Haversack:

Yeah, @Phillippe: I am not excited for a soon-to-be-needed trip to the pharmacy.

Hey, GST!

12:18pm Steve:

Hey Joe,
Thanks for doing the show. Are you taking any requests?

12:18pm David in London:

Handy, Phillippe: yeah, not bad, the toils of the day are done, so I’m sitting on the steps with a drink and the rocking sounds of Mr Belock worrying the neighbours.

12:19pm LastWhiteRhino:

As Hazel always used to say..."Hello Mr. B." !!!!
Hope all is well with you.

12:19pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Handy Haversack: best wishes to you, too. A repaired tooth of mine cracked again, but thankfully it's just annoying not urgent. Yay, medical adventures!

12:19pm David in London:

Phillippe, sorry to hear that man, that’s an unwelcome complication that you could surely do without at this time. Hopefully it’s not too bad.

👻

12:20pm karlward:

SUNWATCHERS FOREVER

👻

12:21pm karlward:

This track is burning

12:21pm Handy Haversack:

@David, you send your neighbours to me if they need a talking-to!

12:22pm Joe B:

thanks for the hazel reference!

12:22pm Lewis:

sounds a bit like the swinging neck breakers...

12:23pm Phillippe Bastille:

@GST @DiL thanks! My own damn fault, both for not staying up to date and leaving the damn board with the nails in it lying around where I could step on it. It's a hard-to-find moulding from the 50s I took down doing some renovations that I was going to need to put back up. Had it lying flat on the deck to keep it from warping. Went to pull something out of the smoker and stepped back on it. Just dumb all around.

12:23pm David in London:

Handy, as the Runzas’ ‘knife man’, you’ll put the fear of God into them...

12:24pm Phillippe Bastille:

@Handy @DiL my go-to line is "My neighbors are listening to great music, whether they want to or not"

12:25pm Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn:

Great show, as always. Thanks Joe!

12:25pm Handy Haversack:

@DIL: Runzas still running a bit behind the times. I'm our sword-and-halberd man.

12:26pm Stevel:

I want to play bass in The Flytraps.

First: Get a bass.

12:27pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Stevel: Good plan! ha ha!

12:29pm Peter from Dover NJ:

Did I choose the right time to tune in or what. Keep bringing it Joe B!

12:29pm David in London:

Handy Halberd, of course! Give him 15ft clearance and he’s deadly!

12:35pm Esther Crow:

many thanks, as always, for all the love, Joe! So sad the electric mess couldn't be there LIVE today...hope to see you soon, buddy <3

12:37pm Handy Haversack:

Oh, no. Drill time again for Halberd Handy. Send help!

Great set, Joe!

12:39pm Suzie:

Hi from SF! Fine job as always Joe!

12:40pm Fuzzy:

A Hazy 4/20 hello to all!

12:41pm Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn:

Haze has run outta' hotdogs but you can be sure he's got LOTS'a chicken!

12:41pm David in London:

Handy, I’m afraid that now you’re our halberd man, I’m going to have to switch sides and support Kate. You need to keep your strength up. Those things weigh a ton....

12:43pm Handy Haversack:

David! But ... we're RUNZAS, mate ...

12:46pm efd:

Harry Harrison's attorney would like a word with whoever came up with the name of this album.

12:47pm Joe B:

it was the local label or studio's slogan

12:48pm David in London:

You’re taking one for the team Handy.

12:48pm dawneden:

So glad to hear the Shags! Thanks, Joe!

12:48pm Roberto:

Should be "'60s" Connecticut.

12:49pm efd:

I guess the phrase "the in sound" was all over the place in the '60s.

12:50pm Laura in Peekskill:

This guy's voice is the opposite of rock and roll.

12:50pm nickybones:

but, mr. narrator, does it have a good, steady beat that can be easily danced to?

12:51pm Joe B:

60's - going by what's on the record cover.

12:51pm Carmichael:

I never knew ANY of this ....

12:51pm McGroovey:

They keep bouncing to mono.

12:51pm Joe B:

nick might be the same guy

12:52pm JakeGould:

Connecticut rocks!

12:52pm nickybones:

@joe b: i was listening for that distinctive accent. but, maybe he adopted a more midatlantic dialetc when he moved to CT

12:55pm jillydg:

This is so groovy. Love it!

12:55pm Roberto:

Now this has a beat that can be easily danced to.

1:02pm Carmichael:

At least he didn't say "hep".

👻

1:02pm James in ATL:

Terrific show - Thanks Joe! Terrific tunes today.

1:03pm dawneden:

That Chelsea Beat song was great!

1:03pm Handy Haversack:

Oh, hotsie motise. Sure I'm alive -- but why?

Great set, Joe!

1:04pm TIMPANDA:

Hey Joe, how's it going? thanks for keeping good company today on this slow monday

1:08pm Jeezy:

Lewsberg did in fact inspire me to add some Mr. Black's coffee liquer into my cold brew, Joe!

1:08pm Peter from Dover NJ:

My mind drifts back to the '60s.....

1:08pm David in London:

Chubby’s gone off the rails. He used to be in great shape with all that twisting, and now he’s out of his box in some seedy bathroom. It’s a damning indictment on modern society.

1:11pm Ira:

Not a fan of the concert where an entire album is played in order, but a Chubby Checker psychedelic record show would be the greatest.

1:11pm John L:

A few years ago I was playing that Chubby Checker cd in my store while Luke Wilson was shopping. He bought it. Not the most exciting story, but that's a great song for 4/20.

1:11pm Handy Haversack:

Checkers has always been a gateway game.

1:12pm dave wuz here:

chubby checker's "black cloud" is pretty good too.

1:20pm Matt Fiveash:

Turn this shit off and put Chubby Checker back on!

1:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Anybody out there have an actual 45 of The Hard Times "Mr. Rolling Stone"?

1:20pm listener 126464:

hahaha

1:21pm dave wuz here:

needs more bass guitar

1:21pm Mr. Pumpy:

Hello, Joe and all.

1:21pm efd:

@dave you misspelled "less"

1:23pm Daisy:

Had to drop in and compliment today’s show - thx joe!

1:24pm Matt Fiveash:

@efd- stop pre-empting Todd's insults!

1:24pm Bootsie:

This band reminds me of the Jesus & Mary Chain

1:26pm Handy Haversack:

Hey, Mr. P!

1:30pm Mr. Pumpy:

Hey Handy. Happy Monday!

1:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Ira: I think I have an idea for Chubby's backing band.

1:31pm David in London:

Hey Mr Pumpy.

1:32pm morphe':

Joe Joe - that is Joe (x2 = sq = double trouble = double...)... going for an illegal safe distanced Madrid eve walk with wee Simon... leaving the stream on to keep the house happyyy..
if not arrested ..catch you on the rebound.. Thanks,

Simon y morphe'

1:34pm Joe B:

thanks everybody for tuning in and checking in here, a little behind on the comments but appreciate them, thanks!

1:34pm Mr. Pumpy:

David...how are ya?

1:36pm Alvy Singer:

Nice Neil Young cover.

1:36pm Mr. Pumpy:

Looks like a great set, Joe. I am Pumpy come lately today...

1:36pm Kenny rotten:

Great show Joe! thanks for playing "Stoned in the Bathroom." I was at a Woggles show a few years ago and the Professor asked for Chubby tunes as requests. I called for "Stoned" and was admonished by him. He said Chubby never did such a song! LOL

1:41pm Circo Americano:

sick!

👻

1:43pm Hackensack Slim:

Hey Joe, Good viewings at NY Archives this weekend. And more on the way.

1:44pm DonJuanTijuana:

Effin killer set @JBelock!

1:46pm ?:

Hey Joe. Where is this version of 'On The Beach" from? I'd love to losten to it again and again. Best version I've ever heard. Love the studio version too.

1:46pm McGroovey:

On the Beach is one of my favorites.

1:47pm xangoir:

tuned in and turned out. not a drop too late

1:47pm nachurall:

Thank you Joe. Forever the people’s champ. I was on top of your almost famous spot today. Greetings from Lincoln, NE

1:51pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello fellow Belockians. Yeah! Hep Cat Sammy!

1:54pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Oops!

1:55pm Circo Americano:

Awesome "Thread!"

1:57pm Michele with One "L":

LOVE Trans! Mr. Soul on there is so good.

1:59pm Laura in Peekskill:

Odd coincidence: Just last night I watched that Sopranos episode that has "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" over the closing credits.

2:01pm Joe B:

michele, saw him play that version of mr soul in 1983 and get booed like crazy and the meadowlands arena!

2:06pm Mark in Toronto:

Killer set today Joe, thanks a lot.

2:08pm Joe D:

Great show. Never heard this version of “put your arms..” the Duff /GNR version was the first time I ever heard that song

2:08pm David in London:

Thankfully I can’t put my arms round the memory of Johnny’s 1987 tour. Jesus, that was the most depressing musical spectacle I think I’ve ever seen.

2:09pm Joe B:

I hear ya David

2:11pm Mike Sin:

Enjoying the show, Joe. Home rig sounds great. What microphone are you using?

👻

2:11pm Artie:

New Tyler Keith!! Just released on Bandcamp about 48 hours ago.

👻

2:12pm Artie:

tylerkeith1.bandcamp.com

2:12pm Earth Walker:

The show is kicking ass today
Thanks

2:14pm Michele with One "L":

hahahaha I love that story. Did you boo or did you clap?

2:15pm Joe B:

no way - i was into it!

2:15pm Dennis Diken:

go Joe!

2:17pm Joe B:

then at the encore neil brought out the shocking pinks and people were losing their shit, walking out. he was feeding off the negative energy. was a sight to behold

2:17pm Michele with One "L":

wow so cool you were there.

2:18pm Joe B:

first time seeing him - was hooked for life after that!

2:18pm Threemoons:

OOOOH SH****T I LOVE THIS COVER...Funnel of Love....

2:19pm Joe B:

hey dennis!

2:23pm Handy Haversack:

I love it when you dedicate songs to yourself, Joe! You deserve it!

We're as with you as we can be! We're never alone with Three Chord Monte!

2:23pm scott:

Let's have a flash whine

2:27pm SmokinJ:

Very pleasant!

2:28pm dano59:

2:28pm dano59:

Amy LaVere played Wanda Jackson in Ring of Fire!

2:31pm Joe B:

wow dano, did not know that! thanks for the info!

2:32pm Joe B:

handy, well, no one else is gonna do it!

2:32pm benji:

Hey Jim, when was the jd McPherson band there, not finding it in the archives?

2:33pm Handy Haversack:

HH: "This Doctor of Love is funky!"
Kate: "Of course he is. Of course he is."

2:34pm Mister Dobalina:

Show after show, there is always some super solid gems played on here!

2:35pm Joe B:

benji, wfmu.org...

2:38pm Joe McG:

Fab show today, Joe, thanks!

2:39pm Mr. Pumpy:

Counter to the name...this sounds so polyphonic!

2:39pm benji:

Thanks Joe...... sorry for Jim

2:40pm Joe B:

i've been called worse!

👻

2:44pm Hackensack Slim:

Wishful thinking, I know but is the Swamp Dogg show in June still on?

2:45pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Got in late to today’s game, but in time for Neil & JT. And now this set as I grab coffee in a patch of sun. Feeling almost vigorous. Thx.

2:45pm Carmichael:

Thanks for playing the Dogg, joe!

2:46pm Handy Haversack:

This is excellent.

2:46pm radioronan:

Solid show as always, Joe.. Thanks so much. Thanks skeleton crew.

2:53pm Somm Ben:

Is anyone else hearing this sick crossfade?!

2:53pm Mr. Pumpy:

I'm loving whatever is happening right now!

2:53pm Lizardner Dave 2:

Oh no, Joe is a robot and he's stuck in a loop! What would X Ray Burns think?

2:53pm efd:

that was like a live record scratch

2:53pm Handy Haversack:

It was a real Cajun linguine flashback!

2:54pm Fuzzy:

Wast der fock?

2:54pm Mr. Pumpy:

That was a bit of musique concrète going on there for a moment. Me dig.

2:54pm jahna:

That was cool

2:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey:

I thought my internet was to blame!

👻

2:54pm James in ATL:

Thank you Joe! Great 4/20 show.

2:54pm Handy Haversack:

Thanks for another fantastic show, Joe! You're the best. I don't care if you are a rogue robot who is going to translate us all into German! We should be so lucky!

2:56pm franz:

Sending love from Italy!

2:56pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Nice un Joe.

2:56pm -Ken:

That's what happens when a live audio stream drops out and the player keeps looping the last batch of audio it received.

2:57pm Earth Walker:

Thanks for the show Joe and crew !

2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge:

No complaints here, Ken

2:58pm Handy Haversack:
