I got some constructive ideas!

Hey, Joe and all the Montebanks! Glad to be here!

♥ 12:01pm chris_in_space:

Bring on the rock music report! What up to @joebelock, crew, and listeners.

12:03pm egould310:

Best of the Beach Boys + best of Rockford Files. I like it.

12:03pm Carmichael:

Mike Post sure loved the synth.

12:03pm James in ATL:

Hello Joe! I hope all is good there in the Three Chord Monte bunker!

12:04pm Joe B:

greetings all! thanks for tuning in/checking in

♥ 12:04pm steveo:

We wanna be free to do what we wanna do!

♥ 12:05pm Phillippe Bastille:

Howdy afternoon Joe and everyone!

♥ 12:05pm LastWhiteRhino:

JB...Hello.

♥ 12:06pm Phillippe Bastille:

So Joe, are you telling us that you expect this summer to be a cover of a real summer?

12:06pm PJ:

Girl Don’t Tell Me has one if the catchiest choruses in the BB canon (not so much in this version), lyrics are a little light even for early BBs.

♥ 12:06pm David (in London):

Hey Phillippe. You good?

12:07pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I can’t believe the Beach Boys never guested on Rockford, but now I know what it would’ve sounded like

♥ 12:08pm Phillippe Bastille:

@DiL mostly good, my friend. You?

♥ 12:10pm Shira:

They didn't want you to miss that this promo was done in 1982, hence the sax solo :P

♥ 12:10pm Handy Haversack:

Hey, Dungaroos K. Good to see you.

12:10pm DJ Guin:

i am true to my bud...Indica or Sativa.

♥ 12:10pm Cmurtha:

I've never heard this before. All Budweiser ads are now inferior in comparison.

12:10pm A Fan:

Hey Joe great show
Could you follow up with the original girl don't tell me you're right ?

12:10pm Roberto:

I thought they were singing "be true to your butt."

12:11pm The old pooperoo:

especially if your butt is enlarged massively by the beer

♥ 12:11pm David (in London):

Phillippe, yeah, spirits fine all things considered. I love Mondays for the Joe^2.

♥ 12:11pm Phillippe Bastille:

@Roberto probably a better place to assign your loyalty...

12:12pm Dennis Diken:

at the “Food Fair” - 6 feet apart from each other, indeed!

12:12pm Carmichael:

ass-ign your loyalty.

12:13pm Roberto:

Niiiiice

12:15pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Handy! Good afternoon

♥ 12:16pm dave wuz here:

VIBRACIONES!

♥ 12:16pm chresti:

Haha Phillippe- cover version of summer.

12:16pm PJ:

Loving this set, Joe.

12:16pm DJ Guin:

sounds like Beach Boys without Autotune

♥ 12:17pm Johnny_A:

g'day everyone!

♥ 12:17pm Handy Haversack:

@DiL, yeah, friend, Joe after Joe is a great thing. It's Joes all the way down!

12:18pm Mark in Toronto:

Enjoying the summer beach vibes which we will never experience ever again.

♥ 12:21pm Handy Haversack:

Player 1Surf'sUp

♥ 12:22pm Woo:

Checkin' in. Had to check there were no Beach Boy deaths.

12:23pm DJ Guin:

@Woo -- Mike Love is too batsh*t crazy to die

12:24pm Mike Steele:

Tuning in. Thanks Joe!

12:25pm DJ Guin:

Kim Jong Un DMed me: Hello, WoofMooers!

♥ 12:28pm Shira:

That 8-bit Beach Boys Love You would be great bed music!

12:29pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Miss you, Joe!!

♥ 12:30pm Woo:

The Who has a song called Mike Post Theme on Endless Wire.

12:31pm DJ Guin:

Meine hund hat keine nase!!!

♥ 12:31pm David (in London):

Sehr kuhl!

12:32pm DJ Guin:

Schrecklich!!

♥ 12:32pm David (in London):

DJ Guin - Wie riecht er?

12:33pm DJ Guin:

eh, i messed it up. Schade. :(

12:34pm egould310:

Greetings to fellow Montebanks from sunny and breezy Seattle.

I’m taking the day off. Gonna sit on the sofa and listen to WFMU. Later go for a run. Hamburgers. Liquor store. Grocery store.

Action packed Monday.

12:36pm DJ Guin:

Hints of Satisfaction and Home for the Holidays in the Els Tron song.

12:37pm Tim from LH:

Missed the Mike and Dean but got to see one of those shows on the beach in Fla way back when.

♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens:

Great! Tuned it just in time to hear the Fox Sisters!

♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens:

Hi Joe!

12:38pm Joe B:

oh wow Tim. must have been great! or a great trainwreck!

12:39pm Joe B:

hey frank, hope all is well

♥ 12:39pm Frank In Queens:

Aside from a weekly work call intruding on listening to your show, yeah, hanging in there! Hope everything has been good on your end.

12:41pm Tim from LH:

It’s was really great Joe, at the Daytona Beach Bandshell.

12:41pm bigplanetnoise:

Good morning, JB and all Three-Chorders!

♥ 12:41pm Chop Scott:

Good Afternoon Joe!

12:42pm Joe B:

greetings all! thanks for tuning in! hey scott and bpn!

♥ 12:44pm efd:

These shows from home have been great for Le Chelsea Beat! (not a complaint, btw!)

12:45pm Joe B:

i never made it to side 2 back in 2011

♥ 12:45pm David (in London):

Good Wimple Winch cover there. Liked it. The original is - for me - perhaps the absolute high-point of Freakbeat.

♥ 12:45pm suzyhotrod:

Joe B, sounding good. Thanks for motivating my Monday.

12:46pm Joe B:

as long is the motivation is to hang out here while 'working from home'!

♥ 12:48pm coelacanth∅:

greetings Joe and all

♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack:

Hey, coela.

♥ 12:52pm Phillippe Bastille:

Hey coel

♥ 12:53pm Crudbringer:

Morning Joe B. (chairman) & fellow board members, and its smooth operator.

♥ 12:53pm Phillippe Bastille:

hey crudbringer

12:54pm David in London:

Hi Crudbringer.

♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack:

How goes, Crudbringer?

Man, I love this song!

12:55pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

I just watched Terminator yesterday. And I'm obsessed with this song by the Ex-Bats.

♥ 12:55pm coelacanth∅:

'morning Handy, Phillippe
hey Crudbringer

♥ 12:56pm Crudbringer:

Ayy Monsieur Bastille, David, Canth, and the Sackmeister! Sackaroo! The old Sackman! The Sackivator!

12:57pm Stevie & Kaley:

wowa JOE this show rockin my monday mornin yehooooo

♥ 12:57pm Crudbringer:

(sorry for the copier-guy outburst, we had an all-hands company meeting and I'm still crapping Garfield mugs and coughing up motivational posters...)

♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack:

We don't Dilbert shame here, Crudbringer, no worries!

12:59pm David in London:

Crudbringer, remember, ‘there’s no I in team’....urrghhh.....bleeeuuurgghhh....zzzzzzz....

12:59pm David Shortell:

Was that Exbats song inspired by the recent Mike Edison book "Sympathy for the Drummer"?

♥ 12:59pm steveo:

well that was a good way to get me to focus on the drums on this stones track :)

1:00pm PJ:

What's yr take on the new Stones' song, Joe? I like the Miss You-era vibe. Not great, but decent, which is better than most of what they've put out in the last 30 years.

♥ 1:01pm Woo:

A Jimmy Miller production. Is he Mr. Jimmy?

♥ 1:02pm Brian in New Orleans:

Great show as usual! Believe it or not...Post Malone...yeah I know...absolutely slayed when covering Nirvana for over an hour during his fundraiser for the World Health Organization. I was completely blown away at his assembled band and his genuine love for the material. Trust me!

♥ 1:02pm steveo:

He only comes out when I drink my gin

1:05pm Joe B:

woo - i would assume so!

1:05pm Joe B:

PJ - i'd say solid.

1:05pm Joe B:

steveo - same here! that's what made me think of it!

1:05pm Joe B:

david - i wonder!

♥ 1:06pm Brian in New Orleans:

it is on youtube and has raised 4 million so far. Krist from Nirvana was quite into it.

1:06pm Joe B:

thanks brian, will check it out

♥ 1:09pm Ciggy:

Yo Joe, Yonkers checking in.
I'm bouncing in my apartment (with the movie, "Thief" as a visual).
Too much coffee and Rock & Roll!
Keep it up.

♥ 1:10pm Brian in New Orleans:

@Joe B....cool it was totally "punk rock"...btw think you for continuing what you and all the DJs at fmu are doing. You are a lifeline for sure !!!

♥ 1:12pm poptone:

Joe that's spooky crazy that you just played "jigsaw puzzle" when we just finished our Freewheelin Bob Dylan puzzle and are now are onto Late For The Sky/Jackson Browne. you are a psychic! in the words of Bobby Byrd: keep on doing what youre doin!-Antone

1:13pm le bun:

As far as raising money for health (NHS) Capt Tom is the top draw with £27 M for walking around his garden. He'll be 100yrs this Thurs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52437767

♥ 1:14pm Aaron in Minneapolis:

So is there any chance Joe that you will have a remote setup at your place anytime soon?

1:16pm Joe B:

this is the remote setup. not sure what your question is

1:17pm Tim from LH:

@poptone, we’ve been doing jigsaws too, great way to pass the time.

♥ 1:18pm Aaron in Minneapolis:

Ah thought it was a repeat of 2011

♥ 1:19pm Chop Scott:

Sounding great Joe!

1:25pm Joe B:

thanks Scott!

1:27pm bigplanetnoise:

This record is just sooo good.

♥ 1:27pm Phillippe Bastille:

Every time I hear this Girl Called Eddy song I clicky star and then hear it again, it's unclicky-starred. Grr. Does anyone else have this occur on songs you know you've favorited?

♥ 1:28pm Phillippe Bastille:

*then when I hear...

1:28pm egould310:

Joe B channeling Michael Shelley for this set.

1:28pm Joe B:

BPN, you probably know already but barry tashian's son is the main collaborator on it

1:29pm bigplanetnoise:

I sure do. He’s got the golden touch!

♥ 1:30pm Handy Haversack:

@PB, I feel like I have noticed that but have no hard evidence. I wonder if there could be hidden database reasons -- like being from LP vs. CD -- that are not nec. shown on every DJ's playlist since not everyone uses the same columns.

1:30pm Joe B:

i figured you knew since he is nashville based. i have to check out his own stuff

1:33pm Joe B:

i wonder if the star thing has to do with slight variations in the way different dj's enter the info?

1:33pm acid casualty:

Love this eyelids!

1:35pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Hiya Joe! Checking in from county C-19 testing center today.

♥ 1:36pm efd:

Am I the only one who thought they heard a little callout to "Amateur Hour" by Sparks in this Jackie Lynn song?

1:36pm Joe B:

great point efd!

hey Jeff!

♥ 1:37pm efd:

@Joe I think that's the case... if there's a spelling variation in the artist, song title, or album title then I think the system sees it as a different track.

1:37pm andrewb:

very sparksy in a good way

♥ 1:38pm Phillippe Bastille:

@Handy @JoeB @EFD Weird, I just looked at my favorites page and only a handful of my favorited songs have a gold star next to them. And the Girl Called Edy song isn't on the list for today, but a couple I favorited earlier are. Not complaining -- I totally appreciate the ability to capture any of these songs, just curious about what's going on.

1:40pm Carmichael:

@Phillippe, go to your favorites and see if the song is there in different variations.

1:40pm Carmichael:

Oops, never mind ...

🎸

♥ 1:43pm listener 126464:

no waffles for us

1:45pm Leslie Karon:

It’s BERGamo. Not BergAmo.

1:48pm Joe B:

hmm don't have an answer for the star thing. will consult kenzo after the show.

1:49pm ashley morey:

Love this Nada Surf song and the new album! Thanks for keeping me sane during this work from home Monday

1:50pm Joe B:

me too Ashley! we'll have to have a burger outing when this is all over!

🎸

♥ 1:51pm listener 126464:

this one's up there

♥ 1:51pm Phillippe Bastille:

Thanks Joe B. And thanks for playing this song -- Nada Surf has been a favorite of mine for years (pre-clicky star favorites!)

1:54pm David in London:

The sunset over London Town is quite nice this evening. No commute either...

♥ 1:57pm Handy Haversack:

Nice, David. Still happens in the west?

1:59pm Listening Out There:

Been listening to the program on and off today. Good stuff....

1:59pm David in London:

So far Handy, yes. I’ll let you know if that changes at all.

2:02pm Tracy Walsh:

Jesus, Joe... Don and I are sitting here in awe... everything you play is ALWAYS good, and always totally fresh and surprising. Not sure what the hell we would be doing without WFMU... our days (and nights) literally revolve around it. Miss you, and looking forward to seeing you at live shows... someday!

2:06pm Joe B:

wow thanks Tracy. hope you guys are doing ok. are you upstate?

2:08pm Miss V:

Hello Joe from Sunny SoCAl!

2:09pm Tracy Walsh:

Yep. For now...

♥ 2:11pm efd:

Another Gateway Drugs fun fact: the daughter of the Knack's bass player is in the band.

♥ 2:11pm efd:

further update: The three siblings in the band are all Prescott Niles' kids.

♥ 2:12pm efd:

Preston, not Prescott. Just forget I said anything, maybe.

♥ 2:14pm Handy Haversack:

Yay, Michele! One "l" but all skilz!

♥ 2:17pm Mike Sin:

Great set of all new stuff! Always introduced to many bands here. That's why I always stop by this joint!

2:17pm Joe B:

hey miss V!

2:18pm SeanG:

keep rockin' Joe!

2:18pm Joe B:

thanks efd!

♥ 2:18pm Handy Haversack:

Daniel Kahn Gillmor (Mark Hurst's guest) is a wonderful person and super smart. A good friend of mine (which SOUNDS like an argument against his smarts, I know, but trust me!). Check it out this evening.

2:20pm Joe B:

thanks sean, will try

2:21pm spodiodi:

Hi Joe. Thanks for the music! On foot and in the sun

♥ 2:22pm suzyhotrod:

Tell me your bleeping from home techniques!!

♥ 2:22pm efd:

gonna correct myself for the last time: I had it right the first time, Prescott is the Knack bass player's first name. Too much multitasking!

2:22pm PJ:

I feel like with Reactor, Neil said, ok, I'm gonna make the stoopidest big rock record I can. "Got mashed potato, got mashed potato, got mashed potato - ain't got no t-bone". That'll show the Ramones!

2:23pm Hackensack Slim:

Updated Lyrics from Neil. Very Cool.

♥ 2:23pm chris_in_space:

so cool to hear "Surfer Joe" live.

2:23pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I’m champing at the bit for all these Neil archive releases. Well, you got me to pull TRANS out last week & until RUST BUCKET is unleashed, I guess tonite will be devoted to RE*ACT*TOR. I love those early 80s lps

🎸

♥ 2:25pm listener 126464:

think i got it now efd thanks

2:26pm Joe B:

DK - trans and reactor two of my faves!

2:26pm carl from providence:

thank you for the tunes today

2:26pm Joe B:

Slim - yeah, i was like, i dont recall that verse??

2:27pm V Priceless:

Heya JB! This Magnus is kickin'!

2:28pm Hackensack Slim:

Unfortunately he left out the part about smoking Garfong. It's his song he can do what he wants with it.

2:29pm spodiodi:

Yeah liked that Magnus too

2:32pm Joe B:

hey VP! yeah band is new to me, will investigate further!

2:32pm bigplanetnoise:

So f&$king great.

2:35pm Andres:

Loving the Monophonics! Thanks Joe and previously Todd for showing the way.

♥ 2:36pm Baja Joe:

Joe B, since I am working from home I get to hear and pay attention to your show and I gotta' say, I like it a lot. Thanks.

2:37pm Joe B:

thanks Baja, Andres and everyone. appreciate it!

2:42pm Snoochienucci:

late to the boards today. Hi to all my wfmu buds! Thanks for a great show Joe! Heading into a dreaded zoom work call now

♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack:

Stay strong, Snoochie!

2:43pm dinatekno:

Wow!! This is a great version!!!! Gotta find that for download....

♥ 2:44pm James in ATL:

Really fun show! Thanks for the distraction from the world, Joe! Have a great week and be safe.

2:45pm egould310:

Green/Blue is red/hot. Thanks for a great show, Joe B.

2:45pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello everyone. Joe, your show is superb, regardless of what nook of JC you're hidden in!

🎸

♥ 2:51pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Frenchy's is still in Roselle Park.

🎸

♥ 2:53pm listener 126464:

Thank you Joe!
