	9:22am wizard frog: funny cover this
	♥ 9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah...was thinking - what is this Jazz melody...I know it for sure...
	♥ 9:25am Krys O.: Such an uplifting start! Thanks, Joe.
	9:25am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Love the international takes on these songs. Makes me feel like I’m in one of those little ethnic grocery stores discovering rare and exotic fruit and vegetables. I love that.
	♥ 9:25am Brian in UK: David (in London) bluddy miserable and wet here, you might say a classic Monday.
	9:25am YETI BOB: i think vampisoul is about to get some of my money
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: I just realized this has become an advertisement for Vampisoul Records. Oh well, what the hell, buy all their records!
	9:26am Cumbia Phil: Go Andres go!
	9:27am Mister Dobalina: I like Colombia cumbia, prefer it over Mexican & Peruvian/Ecuadorian.
	9:27am Mister Dobalina: I can always here the difference! This one is a banger!!!!!
	9:27am Ryuraku: Arg, what melody is that?
	♥ 9:28am Handy Haversack: Good morning, Joe and all the Yippers! Sorry I'm late.
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Brian, ghastly here too. I went to a birthday picnic yesterday on Walthamstow Marshes, and we kept having to dive for cover to avoid the sudden downpours. Still, large amounts of booze helped cushion the blow. Monday is less considerably less cheery though.
	9:29am YETI BOB: Do you think Rod Stewart is sexy?
	♥ 9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Brendan: Pardon if you do - but do you know Bodega Pop on the Drummer stream ?
	♥ 9:30am David (in London): Hey Handy.
	♥ 9:30am Brian in UK: A kipper is sexier than RS.
	9:31am wizard frog: si
	9:33am Brendan: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63, Not yet but I think I may be about to. Do tell…
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: David, how goes? A parcel was despatched to you by post on Friday. Hope the ocean proves swiftly crossed!
	9:33am Mister Dobalina: Don Francisco !
	♥ 9:34am David (in London): Eyyye, Don McGasko.
	♥ 9:35am The Oscar: Busy working, but thank you for the Sabado Gigante shoutout! I used to watch it every Saturday with my dad, despite neither of us speaking a word of Spanish. The gong show segments where the losers got dragged into a cave by a guy in a lion costume were peak television.
	♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Colombia's Joe Arroyo does it for me.
	9:35am YETI BOB: Wish that I never came here They can't pronounce my name here Everyone asks me, "where's Peru?"
	♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bodega Pop : wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:35am David (in London): Handy, hurray! I look forward to the swinging sounds of Greenpoint filling the kitchen. Please say thank you to Kate.
	9:36am YETI BOB: (((Semi-obscure Eno reference)))
	♥ 9:36am karlward: The ceremonial dumping of almost-duds
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: "In your company/I feel happy" @Dobalina/Oscar: I don't speak Spanish either but I used to love to watch "Sabado Gigante." Those commercials the announcers did were like 1950s TV.
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: Is that how a person should get rid of his Starland Vocal Band album? Asking for a friend.
	9:40am Brendan: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
	♥ 9:41am pantz: Was the guy dressed like a bee also on Sabado Gigante? I know he's spoofed on The Simpsons.
	9:41am Mister Dobalina: Just found this out: Don Francisco's real name is, Mario Luis Kreutzberger Blumenfeld
	9:41am TDK60: Brendan, That Bodega Pop show is usually pretty darn good.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brendan - Gary Sullivan who does is it wonderful.
	♥ 9:42am p/b: GM FMUmans living creatures everywhere we gonna be fine no prob right.... love all around from bklyn
	9:42am Mister Dobalina: No, that is a play on Chespirito's, El Chapulín Colorado.
	♥ 9:44am melinda: @WoodsOfNH haha
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: I saw Pulsallama open for The Clash at the Cape Cod Coliseum back in the early 80s. The crowd was not kind to them.
	♥ 9:48am Krys O.: Nice segue from Pulsallama to Vivien!
	9:48am Brendan: She’s going to rinse that guy right out of her clothes
	9:51am Mike W: my beeyootiful launderette!
	♥ 9:51am mariano: 'Morning Joe, everyone. Mr Dobalina: wow, there's a name I wasn't expecting to see. Chespirito was all the rage in Latin America when I was a kid. My aunt and uncle took me to see them live (mid-70s) when they came to Honduras. Señor Barriga shook my hand as they were exiting to the tour bus. No, I won't sign autographs.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: I watched "Meantime" over the weekend and there's a memorable scene at a laundromat.
	♥ 9:53am mariano: That's a great movie, "My Beautiful Laundrette".
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @Mike and mariano: I haven't seen it in years, but I remember liking it.
	9:56am waters7: Your killing it again, Joe. Agree with Krys O: love that segue.
	♥ 9:56am pantz: Okay, two movies on my must see list: Meantime & My Beautiful Laundrette
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am Jim the Poet: I need The Noise!
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, Krys and waters7! Hi, Jim!
	9:57am Sketch: Is this the same guy from Atom and his Package?
	9:58am Mister Dobalina: Cool track.
	9:59am Brendan: Might need a shot of penicillin after this set
	♥ 9:59am pantz: I watched Green Room for the 2nd time, last night. Man, what a brilliant film.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:00am Mike W: My Beautiful Launderette was one of my brother’s favorites from that era when he and his friends were diving into post-punk and new wave...and me, five years younger, was just flabbergasted by all of it, in the best way.
	♥ 10:00am karlward: It's like David Lowery from Camper Van Beethoven is singing a Jonathan Richman song, with REM backing him up. This is amazing.
	♥ 10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sketch tar haha.
	10:02am waters7: Go Mavis, go!
	10:04am PKNY: Not familiar with this particular Staples record, but it was clear right away that Curtis Mayfield was somehow involved
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: OK, Mavis, if you insist!
	♥ 10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well Dylan wants to marry her.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @PKNY: Yeah, his fingerprint is like Jeff Lynne's, you can't miss it. Except I like his productions a lot more than Jeff Lynne's.
	♥ 10:07am mariano: Oh, hello up there DavidIL, Handy!
	♥ 10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....I like Lynne's print on Lynne & most ELO...
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @RR63: I think he's also in love with Alicia Keys. Aren't we all.
	♥ 10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes.
	♥ 10:10am mariano: Oh wow RevRabbit, didn't know that about Dylan and Mavis.
	10:10am MplsCoco: Lianne! ❤️
	♥ 10:11am Guido from Cologne: still think Lianne La Havas is the best solo alone with her guitar.
	♥ 10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not sure how seriously mariano.
	♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano!
	♥ 10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Guido: A lot of times I like the sketch or study better than a completed painting - how I think of it...
	10:15am MplsCoco: Guido. I agree. She sounds a bit more "like everyone else" with everything else going on. Her albums have good production and bass. But she's pretty solid in the "tiny desk" style vibe.
	♥ 10:16am karlward: Joe's crush velvet smoking jacket is ON with this track.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Jim the Poet: Hippo Lady?
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Jim: Have you been watching "The New Zoo Revue"?
	♥ 10:23am WoodsOfNH: @Guido Agree. Have a friend who was gushing about her new record and it didn't do a lot or me. But then I see her performing live (like the Tiny Desk show) and really, really love it.
	10:25am PKNY: I remember when I first starting collecting records, I picked up the Wattstax soundtrack for a $1. Public Enemy pulled a ton of dialogue from the soundtrack on their "Nation of Millions" record
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @PKNY: $1!
	10:29am deborah: Will rewatch My Beautiful Launderette. Saw it twice but need to see it again to be able to talk about it and feel it.
	♥ 10:30am Handy Haversack: Heck of a set, Joe. If I can say "heck" after that song!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Jim the Poet: I love New Zoo Revue!
	10:31am PKNY: @Joe - back then, a $1 went a long way as far as records! If I knew then what I'd know now, as far as price inflation on records...whew!
	♥ 10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gospel @ WattStax interesting. So Jeezus finally came thru on something... She takes care of the hippos - it's not what you think.
	10:32am TDK60: Jesus helped end the war in Vietnam? Glad he helped out, too.
	♥ 10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell 25cent comic books... irony is you don't wanna sell 'em.
	10:35am P-90: Hittin’ it out of the park the morning @Joe McG. Right from the top of set one and straight through.
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @P-90: Glad you're enjoying! :)
	♥ 10:39am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! You're my #1 source for Moe Koffman.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Tim: Ha ha ha, I'm honored.
	♥ 10:40am mariano: There's another song that has almost the same melody as "Train and Boats..." or am I trippin'? Now it's gonna drive me crazy.
	♥ 10:41am Tim 07030: @Mariano 'You've Got a Friend'
	10:42am waters7: funny single files
	♥ 10:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everybody!
	10:42am Roberto: Yeah I thought that was "You've Got a Friend" until I read the accu-doohickey.
	10:43am TDK60: Cool '60s harpsichord, and a great Collins album: "In My Life." A Richard Fariña tune.
	♥ 10:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe - record nerd question here. What does the Elektra logo look like on the Judy Collins single? Is is the earlier logo or the more familiar, well- know one?
	♥ 10:44am mariano: That's very kind of you, Tim, but what about the song?! Seriously though, I don't think that's it in terms of the one I'm thinking of. It was one passage in particular, and I can hear the damn thing in my head, it has a faster tempo.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @tim: It's the white "E" in a burgundy and black mosaic pattern above a pink lower label.
	♥ 10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Carl's version of his own song is (already) more 'Elvis' than I remembered....
	♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: Rev, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
	10:47am Snoochienucci: busy morning, but im here listening! Had to say that i've been really loving the single file set this morning
	♥ 10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But when did I last hear Elvis either...
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Snoochienucci: "Hey Packy" is a nice song for dog lovers.
	10:49am KWilde: Did Loudon Wainwright write this?
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @KW: No, but they are often compared to each other. They hung out in the same scene.
	10:50am P-90: In the “haven’t heard this in years” file
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @P-90: How come no one writes songs about nuclear apocalypse anymore?
	10:52am Roberto: File this under the kind of songs I used to wake up to on my clock radio when I was in high school.
	10:52am Snoochienucci: @Joe im petting my imaginary dog right now!
	♥ 10:53am Baja Joe: Wow, throw way back for Red Skies
	♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ApocaRawk
	♥ 10:53am David (in London): Back in the room, just in time for The Fixx. Wow, I had Red Skies in a double 7-in single pack. Hey Snoochie, mariano.
	10:54am Snoochienucci: Hey David! Handy! Marino! Yeti! and all! Hope everyone had a good weekend and keeps the spirits up this week to come!
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Um - Emitt cover very - '76...
	10:55am Dean: Thanks for the Fireballet. Was hoping to hear them just a few days ago on UM's show.
	♥ 10:55am Krys O.: Nice Left Banke cover.
	10:55am The Butterman: I prefer Desiree by Neil Diamond. Just saying.
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Dean: Did he do a Left Banke tribute?
	10:56am Snoochienucci: and thank you Joe! Off to a zoom call :(, hopefully im back for the end!
	10:57am Dean: No, but he was playing something or other that made me think of the band.
	♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Der not Emitt.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: Can someone dig up that Fireballet album cover where they are all wearing tutus and post a link here?
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: I took that track by the Peppermint Rainbow very personally. ;)
	♥ 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: img.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Mike: Ha ha ha! You have an hour to go.
	11:00am Dean: https://img.discogs.com/X6SYsp4E90ys3CQ-2nduAM8XQ8Q=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1544275-1559536501-7202.jpeg.jpg Sorry for the strung-out URL. Was gazing at this on Friday!
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: Thanks, guys! Love that cover!
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): Yes!!! One of the few Silver Bullet Band Seger songs that I think is completely fantastic. I'm not a number!!!!!!
	11:01am Dean: Much better, RevRab!
	11:01am The Butterman: MikeSin, lovin your new show. Really excited about it. Thanks. Full Stop.
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): Seger System forever!
	♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: A number is a joint too?
	♥ 11:02am David (in London): Man, that Fireballet cover was surely designed to draw in anyone unsure about the contents. I mean, who wouldn't want to take a punt on that one..?
	♥ 11:03am David (in London): Bob Seger's tribute to Patrick McGoohan.
	11:03am Dean: Their first album was marketed far more seriously, with a quintessential prog cover and a side devoted to Mussourgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
	♥ 11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & all that early BobSeeger that's great & no one hears...
	♥ 11:04am mariano: Oh yeah I think you're right, Brian. Older slang though, 60s-70s. Lol David. Imagine how different the opening credits would've been with that song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Jim the Poet: I love experiments
	♥ 11:05am Corey: Mind blown!
	♥ 11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I've totally had the same thought!
	11:05am thriftstoreleather: totally!
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Jim the Poet: Bob Seger is GUILTY!
	♥ 11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wonders if Seeger felt any pressure from Punk & thot - I used to do that! ...B-sides of course often where people let loose ...speaking of over-produced...
	11:06am Alex from Weehawken: whaaaaatttt!!!! omg
	11:06am Terr in DE: David , Bobs the new number 2. Rumpole went back to she who must be obeyed.
	♥ 11:06am Michele with One "L": Mystery solved!!!
	♥ 11:06am courtneynoir: I have a friend who used to keep a detailed list online somewhere about 10 years ago of song similarities like that
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: Joe is Number One!
	11:06am The Butterman: I sense a lawsuit!
	♥ 11:06am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:06am BetsyO: I never would put Eno and Seger in the same category, but wow, there it is, code cracked indeed!
	11:06am Purvis: Never cared much for Bob Seger
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: I am not a number, I am an ambient drone.
	♥ 11:07am courtneynoir: My contribution was Rhinestone Cowboy and Sloop john B and the Still the Same/Warm Jets
	♥ 11:07am swivs: In Seger's defense, there are only 12 notes to work with.
	11:07am yerfriendpaul: I’m gonna give Seger a pass on that one, but definitely hear the similarities
	11:07am paul: Was that the title cut from HCTWJ?
	♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH: It's a well-known fact that Bob Seger's favorite album is Ambient 1: Music for Airports
	11:07am WO Town Wick: Joe McG: Royalties Detective Agency, Inc.
	11:07am P-90: A quick lesson from the College of Musical Knowledge and instructor Joe McG.
	♥ 11:07am swivs: Of the 12 notes, only like, 3 or 4 are any good...
	♥ 11:08am sydnius: E’G is evil enough already shhh
	♥ 11:08am WoodsOfNH: And speaking of prog and tutu's, there's that recent Fripp & Toya video...
	11:09am Dean: Ambient 17: Music for Demolition Derbies
	♥ 11:09am Handy Haversack: I just keep New Model Army's _Thunder and Consolation_ on repeat, Joe.
	♥ 11:09am James Douglas: How about Saved by Zero? Good tune too!
	♥ 11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @tim: Seeger System ✔
	♥ 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Joe. Now you can get to work on that cryptic sculpture at the CIA headquarters. www.cnn.com...
	♥ 11:10am David (in London): If you take three letters out of 'Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band' - e, n and o - you get Eno. Q.E.D. It was there in plain sight all along.
	11:10am yerfriendpaul: The Fixx also contributed some innovative hand gestures
	11:11am KWilde: I think Loudon covered Hey Packy on T Shirt in 1976
	11:11am Roberto: Nuclear annihilation-themed songs sound downright quaint these days.
	11:11am P-90: Doesn’t the vacuum cleaner sound make it more collectible?
	♥ 11:11am iiibeat: Andrei Tarkovsky's final film , The Sacrifice . . Interesting insight into threats of WWIII . .
	11:11am Terr in DE: Many of my favs are about WWlll. Karn Evil, House at Poo Neal
	11:12am BetsyO: As a old Michigan girl, early Seger really rocks, and his songs had socially important messages in them, talking late 60’s and early 70’s. Seeing him live then was special,... though by the mid to late 70’s, his sound became a bit too big and over produced for my taste, but his early garage style records and ballads were bone rattling intense!
	11:12am Roger: I always thought that WAS a Loudon song, its on his T Shirt lp.
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Joshua Rifkin was in at the begining of Nonesuch.
	11:13am paul: RevRabbit: Seger System
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Jim the Poet: I love free coffee
	♥ 11:13am WoodsOfNH: Ha!
	♥ 11:13am mariano: Ahhhh, the riff I'm thinking of in "Trains and Boats and Planes" is like a riff in "I Am a Rock". The instrumental part between the chorus and the verse right after.
	♥ 11:14am sydnius: Tuesday is the day of the Beans
	11:14am Mike W: @Joe how many kinds of milk are in the WFridgeMU for all that coffee?
	11:14am yerfriendpaul: Kendra’s face masks are awesome! She goes by Knormalish on the accu.
	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): @BetsyO - I completely agree. I'm a Michigan dude.
	11:15am TDK60: DJ Joe, it sounds like WFMU now has years' worth of coffee on hand. Need any black tea? Yerba mate?
	11:16am Jennica: Sell them!
	♥ 11:17am iiibeat: I don't think that covid in general can be considered in a binary fashion . . Like . . Either it is a scam or it is not a scam. It is like all other hot issues . . Valid points are dependent on context.
	♥ 11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seger with two E's - Cheers - must limp to the grammatical finish line for our Artistes...
	11:18am Roberto: Is that an Australian greeting? Yerba, mate!
	11:18am Mike W: It’s just like Single File, just with excess vinyl around the one or two songs you like
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @MikeW: Jeez, I only recall seeing regular whole milk. Sure would be nice to have some oat!
	11:18am TDK60: Ha ha Roberto.
	♥ 11:19am Hughie Considine: Well this definitely has the wistful Dream Academy feeling..
	11:19am Mike W: @Joe McG I will write to the Oatly corporation on your behalf (that’s my alt.milk too)
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: Joe, it is very often the second album that does not quite cut it. I did the same as you, making a mix tape of the best tracks.
	11:20am paul: Well said, RevRabbit. :)
	♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being from New Hampshuh - 'Life in a Northern Town' resonates. Also - Beatles.
	11:20am Roberto: Life on a Northern Beach?
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @MikeW: Hooray! @TDK60: Tea is always nice, but for me, I'd need some decaf or herbal.
	11:22am framingham phil: enjoying the cuts, but think your stylus (or shtylus, as it would now sound) needs a cleaning!
	11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: Apropos of less than nothing: Trying like hell to convince remote-working co-workers that the Elvis film CLAMBAKE is the pinnacle of human achievement. It may be working.
	11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello
	♥ 11:23am Krys O.: Thought that the Dream Academy track was the Polyphonic Spree without looking at the playlist.
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): Mark Radice is "a prolific songwriter, with over 5,500 original songs to his credit." Well Joe, at least you like one of them...
	♥ 11:24am Tim 07030: Mark Radice's drummer sounds like he's had a few coffees.
	♥ 11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clambake is great fun. But Carl Perkins did it better.
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - have you ever reconsidered a Closet Cleaning pull after airing the best cut?
	♥ 11:25am David (in London): Rev Turnip. I'll take your Clam Bake and raise you a Double Trouble.
	11:27am TDK60: Redeye: I heard a Buffalo Springfield/CSN influence, maybe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @tim: Hmm, I'll have to think about that. Since I've heard the whole thing, I don't know if it would work for Random Pull. @David: Ha ha ha
	♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): JOe - are you sure there's only good song on this Porter/Skeeter record?
	♥ 11:29am Tim 07030: Do as many kids bite the dust in Porter/Skeeter duets as in Porter/Dolly duets?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @tim: One or two. I just don't like the production. I was disappointed because I love them both individually.
	11:30am yerfriendpaul: Paper Moon is one of my favorite songs ever
	11:31am paul: Paul McCartney did a nice version of Paper Moon.
	♥ 11:32am David (in London): This is the song that plays whenever I drive a golf buggy down Stoke Newington High Street whilst very drunk on Martinis.
	11:32am P-90: Trivia: this instrumental plays in the elevators at Austin Powers’ apartment building.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Joe, think you are doing the right thing.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: @P-90, impressive!
	11:35am Listener Baby: Baby Joe!
	11:36am ami ad: Joe bim.
	11:38am Dean: What if you liked only one or two songs on Yes's Tales from Topographic Oceans? Keep? Discard?
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dean: Ha! I can't imagine loving any songs on that.
	11:39am Dean: (I love all four!)
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Dean: (You should keep that one!)
	♥ 11:40am mariano: "Paper Moon" is a wonderful movie too.
	11:41am Brendan: On Borrowed Time was a great movie . Lionel Barrymore had Death stuck up in his apple tree and wouldn’t let him down.
	11:41am Brendan: The song was nice too!
	♥ 11:41am David (in London): These days Dulwich Foxes are mostly foraging for old KFC chicken bones in people's dustbins.
	11:41am Dean: As a matter of fact, I have two copies, one vinyl, one CD.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: I liked that one! @Dean: Ha ha. For the bonus tracks!
	♥ 11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): Wild Turkey's Dulwish Fox would be pretty easy on the ears after a night of partying with the band's namesake.
	11:44am yerfriendpaul: @Mariano - loved that movie. So good
	11:45am Jeffrey Davison: Hey, Joe! Caught maybe half the show today. I'm a fan of the George Gerdes album. Underrated, I think. Never saw any singles. The other Karen Beth albums are better. This one is okay. Nice set!
	♥ 11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...something with slide had me reaching for electric gittar - also coffees...then I miss stuff & the stereo doesn't sound loud enuff...
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: At least this Karen does not have issues (with everything)
	11:47am Mike W: walked into the room and first thought Karen Beth was Suddenly, Tammy being much better (apparently just on this one song)
	11:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: This demands a Cab Calloway one-two punch!
	♥ 11:49am pantz: What a voice Lena had. Like warm honey.
	11:49am BetsyO: @Tim from Champaign,... the Detroit, Flint & AnnArbor music scene in those years produced some really great rock and roll music,... must of been all those metal stamping machines and the pouring of melted steel combined with a blue collar work ethic,... all swirled and filleted with the soulful psychedelic chaotic times it all found itself in.
	♥ 11:50am mariano: RevTD: "Reefer Man"!
	♥ 11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Once in a while a track - thinks - used to hear that in the 20th Century ( ! )....
	11:51am Carmichael: Late heya to Joe #1 and all #1 fans.
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: @JD: I agree, I like Gerdes! Karen Beth's "Joys of Life" is much better!
	11:51am Joe B: thanks for bearing with us behind the scenes Joe!
	11:51am judy from croton: Oh Lena Tell it
	11:52am Dean: What a pleasant coincidence. My WFMU box of goodies just arrived!
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Have Stormy Weather on FS's No One Cares album. I played it at 45rpm by mistake, his phrasing is so good it still sounded good. No chipmonks
	♥ 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Stay careful out there.
	11:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: @mariano: classick!
	♥ 11:52am juan: Love, love, love Lena! Thanks for a wonderful show today, Joe
	11:53am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Fine times.
	11:53am morphe': Thanks Joe and all....
	11:54am TDK60: Gracias Joe.
	♥ 11:54am David (in London): Great show today Joe#1. Joe#2 arrives to keep us from post-McGasko disappointment.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Jim the Poet: Great show, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am mariano: Thank you Joe!
	11:56am Carmichael: @David, whenever a friend and I went to see Todd Rundgren, we would talk about "Post Todd Depression". Now we just call it PTD.
	♥ 11:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Appreciate it! See you all next week in AUGUST. Stay cool as much as you can.
	♥ 11:57am David (in London): Carmichael - Good one. I've suffered from PTD on a couple of occasion, too. Though it was undiagnosed then I guess.
	♥ 11:57am Rob W: Yes BetsyO and Tim, let's hear it for Michigan! (Related note: Don Was hosts a Michigan music celebration / "All Star Revue" concert every year as part of Detroit's annual Concert of Colors festival - which is happening this year although later than usual - see www.concertofcolors.com...) By the way Joe, I am going to be stealing a few songs from your first set in the future, I hope you don't mind. Thanks for another excellent show!
	♥ 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov636: Yes this one. Also 'Man of the World'. ...Two Joes & more coffees - Thank You !
	11:58am John in Phoenixville: Nice closet picks, Joe! I’m in the midst of record collection streamlining as well. Great show as always!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. Lovely...
	12:00pm Davec: Dig that bass....great rhythm section
	♥ 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Great, greats show, Joe. I was so busy I could barely say hi, but I have loved it. Much appreciated!
	12:01pm Davec: Joe....here’s a quarter....
	♥ 12:03pm Brian in UK: l always found the last line of Man of the World rather sad. Great sounds again, Joe.

	♥ 9:25am Krys O.: Such an uplifting start! Thanks, Joe.
	9:25am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Love the international takes on these songs. Makes me feel like I’m in one of those little ethnic grocery stores discovering rare and exotic fruit and vegetables. I love that.

	9:25am YETI BOB: i think vampisoul is about to get some of my money

	♥ 9:28am Handy Haversack: Good morning, Joe and all the Yippers! Sorry I'm late.
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Brian, ghastly here too. I went to a birthday picnic yesterday on Walthamstow Marshes, and we kept having to dive for cover to avoid the sudden downpours. Still, large amounts of booze helped cushion the blow. Monday is less considerably less cheery though.

	♥ 9:35am The Oscar: Busy working, but thank you for the Sabado Gigante shoutout! I used to watch it every Saturday with my dad, despite neither of us speaking a word of Spanish. The gong show segments where the losers got dragged into a cave by a guy in a lion costume were peak television.

	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: "In your company/I feel happy" @Dobalina/Oscar: I don't speak Spanish either but I used to love to watch "Sabado Gigante." Those commercials the announcers did were like 1950s TV.
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: Is that how a person should get rid of his Starland Vocal Band album? Asking for a friend.
	9:40am Brendan: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
	♥ 9:41am pantz: Was the guy dressed like a bee also on Sabado Gigante? I know he's spoofed on The Simpsons.
	9:41am Mister Dobalina: Just found this out: Don Francisco's real name is, Mario Luis Kreutzberger Blumenfeld
	9:41am TDK60: Brendan, That Bodega Pop show is usually pretty darn good.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brendan - Gary Sullivan who does is it wonderful.
	♥ 9:42am p/b: GM FMUmans living creatures everywhere we gonna be fine no prob right.... love all around from bklyn
	9:42am Mister Dobalina: No, that is a play on Chespirito's, El Chapulín Colorado.
	♥ 9:44am melinda: @WoodsOfNH haha
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: I saw Pulsallama open for The Clash at the Cape Cod Coliseum back in the early 80s. The crowd was not kind to them.
	♥ 9:48am Krys O.: Nice segue from Pulsallama to Vivien!
	9:48am Brendan: She’s going to rinse that guy right out of her clothes
	9:51am Mike W: my beeyootiful launderette!
	♥ 9:51am mariano: 'Morning Joe, everyone. Mr Dobalina: wow, there's a name I wasn't expecting to see. Chespirito was all the rage in Latin America when I was a kid. My aunt and uncle took me to see them live (mid-70s) when they came to Honduras. Señor Barriga shook my hand as they were exiting to the tour bus. No, I won't sign autographs.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: I watched "Meantime" over the weekend and there's a memorable scene at a laundromat.
	♥ 9:53am mariano: That's a great movie, "My Beautiful Laundrette".
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @Mike and mariano: I haven't seen it in years, but I remember liking it.
	9:56am waters7: Your killing it again, Joe. Agree with Krys O: love that segue.
	♥ 9:56am pantz: Okay, two movies on my must see list: Meantime & My Beautiful Laundrette
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am Jim the Poet: I need The Noise!
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, Krys and waters7! Hi, Jim!
	9:57am Sketch: Is this the same guy from Atom and his Package?
	9:58am Mister Dobalina: Cool track.
	9:59am Brendan: Might need a shot of penicillin after this set
	♥ 9:59am pantz: I watched Green Room for the 2nd time, last night. Man, what a brilliant film.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:00am Mike W: My Beautiful Launderette was one of my brother’s favorites from that era when he and his friends were diving into post-punk and new wave...and me, five years younger, was just flabbergasted by all of it, in the best way.
	♥ 10:00am karlward: It's like David Lowery from Camper Van Beethoven is singing a Jonathan Richman song, with REM backing him up. This is amazing.
	♥ 10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sketch tar haha.
	10:02am waters7: Go Mavis, go!
	10:04am PKNY: Not familiar with this particular Staples record, but it was clear right away that Curtis Mayfield was somehow involved
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: OK, Mavis, if you insist!
	♥ 10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well Dylan wants to marry her.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @PKNY: Yeah, his fingerprint is like Jeff Lynne's, you can't miss it. Except I like his productions a lot more than Jeff Lynne's.
	♥ 10:07am mariano: Oh, hello up there DavidIL, Handy!
	♥ 10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....I like Lynne's print on Lynne & most ELO...
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @RR63: I think he's also in love with Alicia Keys. Aren't we all.
	♥ 10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes.
	♥ 10:10am mariano: Oh wow RevRabbit, didn't know that about Dylan and Mavis.
	10:10am MplsCoco: Lianne! ❤️
	♥ 10:11am Guido from Cologne: still think Lianne La Havas is the best solo alone with her guitar.
	♥ 10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not sure how seriously mariano.
	♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano!
	♥ 10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Guido: A lot of times I like the sketch or study better than a completed painting - how I think of it...
	10:15am MplsCoco: Guido. I agree. She sounds a bit more "like everyone else" with everything else going on. Her albums have good production and bass. But she's pretty solid in the "tiny desk" style vibe.
	♥ 10:16am karlward: Joe's crush velvet smoking jacket is ON with this track.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Jim the Poet: Hippo Lady?
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Jim: Have you been watching "The New Zoo Revue"?
	♥ 10:23am WoodsOfNH: @Guido Agree. Have a friend who was gushing about her new record and it didn't do a lot or me. But then I see her performing live (like the Tiny Desk show) and really, really love it.
	10:25am PKNY: I remember when I first starting collecting records, I picked up the Wattstax soundtrack for a $1. Public Enemy pulled a ton of dialogue from the soundtrack on their "Nation of Millions" record
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @PKNY: $1!
	10:29am deborah: Will rewatch My Beautiful Launderette. Saw it twice but need to see it again to be able to talk about it and feel it.
	♥ 10:30am Handy Haversack: Heck of a set, Joe. If I can say "heck" after that song!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Jim the Poet: I love New Zoo Revue!
	10:31am PKNY: @Joe - back then, a $1 went a long way as far as records! If I knew then what I'd know now, as far as price inflation on records...whew!
	♥ 10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gospel @ WattStax interesting. So Jeezus finally came thru on something... She takes care of the hippos - it's not what you think.
	10:32am TDK60: Jesus helped end the war in Vietnam? Glad he helped out, too.
	♥ 10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell 25cent comic books... irony is you don't wanna sell 'em.
	10:35am P-90: Hittin’ it out of the park the morning @Joe McG. Right from the top of set one and straight through.
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @P-90: Glad you're enjoying! :)
	♥ 10:39am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! You're my #1 source for Moe Koffman.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Tim: Ha ha ha, I'm honored.
	♥ 10:40am mariano: There's another song that has almost the same melody as "Train and Boats..." or am I trippin'? Now it's gonna drive me crazy.
	♥ 10:41am Tim 07030: @Mariano 'You've Got a Friend'
	10:42am waters7: funny single files
	♥ 10:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everybody!
	10:42am Roberto: Yeah I thought that was "You've Got a Friend" until I read the accu-doohickey.
	10:43am TDK60: Cool '60s harpsichord, and a great Collins album: "In My Life." A Richard Fariña tune.
	♥ 10:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe - record nerd question here. What does the Elektra logo look like on the Judy Collins single? Is is the earlier logo or the more familiar, well- know one?
	♥ 10:44am mariano: That's very kind of you, Tim, but what about the song?! Seriously though, I don't think that's it in terms of the one I'm thinking of. It was one passage in particular, and I can hear the damn thing in my head, it has a faster tempo.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @tim: It's the white "E" in a burgundy and black mosaic pattern above a pink lower label.
	♥ 10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Carl's version of his own song is (already) more 'Elvis' than I remembered....
	♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: Rev, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
	10:47am Snoochienucci: busy morning, but im here listening! Had to say that i've been really loving the single file set this morning
	♥ 10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But when did I last hear Elvis either...
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Snoochienucci: "Hey Packy" is a nice song for dog lovers.
	10:49am KWilde: Did Loudon Wainwright write this?
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @KW: No, but they are often compared to each other. They hung out in the same scene.
	10:50am P-90: In the “haven’t heard this in years” file
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @P-90: How come no one writes songs about nuclear apocalypse anymore?
	10:52am Roberto: File this under the kind of songs I used to wake up to on my clock radio when I was in high school.
	10:52am Snoochienucci: @Joe im petting my imaginary dog right now!
	♥ 10:53am Baja Joe: Wow, throw way back for Red Skies
	♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ApocaRawk
	♥ 10:53am David (in London): Back in the room, just in time for The Fixx. Wow, I had Red Skies in a double 7-in single pack. Hey Snoochie, mariano.
	10:54am Snoochienucci: Hey David! Handy! Marino! Yeti! and all! Hope everyone had a good weekend and keeps the spirits up this week to come!
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Um - Emitt cover very - '76...
	10:55am Dean: Thanks for the Fireballet. Was hoping to hear them just a few days ago on UM's show.
	♥ 10:55am Krys O.: Nice Left Banke cover.
	10:55am The Butterman: I prefer Desiree by Neil Diamond. Just saying.
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Dean: Did he do a Left Banke tribute?
	10:56am Snoochienucci: and thank you Joe! Off to a zoom call :(, hopefully im back for the end!
	10:57am Dean: No, but he was playing something or other that made me think of the band.
	♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Der not Emitt.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: Can someone dig up that Fireballet album cover where they are all wearing tutus and post a link here?
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: I took that track by the Peppermint Rainbow very personally. ;)
	♥ 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: img.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Mike: Ha ha ha! You have an hour to go.

	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: Thanks, guys! Love that cover!
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): Yes!!! One of the few Silver Bullet Band Seger songs that I think is completely fantastic. I'm not a number!!!!!!
	11:01am Dean: Much better, RevRab!
	11:01am The Butterman: MikeSin, lovin your new show. Really excited about it. Thanks. Full Stop.
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): Seger System forever!
	♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: A number is a joint too?
	♥ 11:02am David (in London): Man, that Fireballet cover was surely designed to draw in anyone unsure about the contents. I mean, who wouldn't want to take a punt on that one..?
	♥ 11:03am David (in London): Bob Seger's tribute to Patrick McGoohan.
	11:03am Dean: Their first album was marketed far more seriously, with a quintessential prog cover and a side devoted to Mussourgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
	♥ 11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & all that early BobSeeger that's great & no one hears...
	♥ 11:04am mariano: Oh yeah I think you're right, Brian. Older slang though, 60s-70s. Lol David. Imagine how different the opening credits would've been with that song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Jim the Poet: I love experiments
	♥ 11:05am Corey: Mind blown!
	♥ 11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I've totally had the same thought!
	11:05am thriftstoreleather: totally!
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Jim the Poet: Bob Seger is GUILTY!
	♥ 11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wonders if Seeger felt any pressure from Punk & thot - I used to do that! ...B-sides of course often where people let loose ...speaking of over-produced...
	11:06am Alex from Weehawken: whaaaaatttt!!!! omg
	11:06am Terr in DE: David , Bobs the new number 2. Rumpole went back to she who must be obeyed.
	♥ 11:06am Michele with One "L": Mystery solved!!!
	♥ 11:06am courtneynoir: I have a friend who used to keep a detailed list online somewhere about 10 years ago of song similarities like that
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: Joe is Number One!
	11:06am The Butterman: I sense a lawsuit!
	♥ 11:06am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:06am BetsyO: I never would put Eno and Seger in the same category, but wow, there it is, code cracked indeed!
	11:06am Purvis: Never cared much for Bob Seger
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: I am not a number, I am an ambient drone.
	♥ 11:07am courtneynoir: My contribution was Rhinestone Cowboy and Sloop john B and the Still the Same/Warm Jets
	♥ 11:07am swivs: In Seger's defense, there are only 12 notes to work with.
	11:07am yerfriendpaul: I’m gonna give Seger a pass on that one, but definitely hear the similarities
	11:07am paul: Was that the title cut from HCTWJ?
	♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH: It's a well-known fact that Bob Seger's favorite album is Ambient 1: Music for Airports
	11:07am WO Town Wick: Joe McG: Royalties Detective Agency, Inc.
	11:07am P-90: A quick lesson from the College of Musical Knowledge and instructor Joe McG.
	♥ 11:07am swivs: Of the 12 notes, only like, 3 or 4 are any good...
	♥ 11:08am sydnius: E’G is evil enough already shhh
	♥ 11:08am WoodsOfNH: And speaking of prog and tutu's, there's that recent Fripp & Toya video...
	11:09am Dean: Ambient 17: Music for Demolition Derbies
	♥ 11:09am Handy Haversack: I just keep New Model Army's _Thunder and Consolation_ on repeat, Joe.
	♥ 11:09am James Douglas: How about Saved by Zero? Good tune too!
	♥ 11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @tim: Seeger System ✔
	♥ 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Joe. Now you can get to work on that cryptic sculpture at the CIA headquarters. www.cnn.com...
	♥ 11:10am David (in London): If you take three letters out of 'Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band' - e, n and o - you get Eno. Q.E.D. It was there in plain sight all along.
	11:10am yerfriendpaul: The Fixx also contributed some innovative hand gestures
	11:11am KWilde: I think Loudon covered Hey Packy on T Shirt in 1976
	11:11am Roberto: Nuclear annihilation-themed songs sound downright quaint these days.
	11:11am P-90: Doesn’t the vacuum cleaner sound make it more collectible?
	♥ 11:11am iiibeat: Andrei Tarkovsky's final film , The Sacrifice . . Interesting insight into threats of WWIII . .
	11:11am Terr in DE: Many of my favs are about WWlll. Karn Evil, House at Poo Neal
	11:12am BetsyO: As a old Michigan girl, early Seger really rocks, and his songs had socially important messages in them, talking late 60’s and early 70’s. Seeing him live then was special,... though by the mid to late 70’s, his sound became a bit too big and over produced for my taste, but his early garage style records and ballads were bone rattling intense!
	11:12am Roger: I always thought that WAS a Loudon song, its on his T Shirt lp.
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Joshua Rifkin was in at the begining of Nonesuch.
	11:13am paul: RevRabbit: Seger System
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Jim the Poet: I love free coffee
	♥ 11:13am WoodsOfNH: Ha!
	♥ 11:13am mariano: Ahhhh, the riff I'm thinking of in "Trains and Boats and Planes" is like a riff in "I Am a Rock". The instrumental part between the chorus and the verse right after.
	♥ 11:14am sydnius: Tuesday is the day of the Beans
	11:14am Mike W: @Joe how many kinds of milk are in the WFridgeMU for all that coffee?
	11:14am yerfriendpaul: Kendra’s face masks are awesome! She goes by Knormalish on the accu.
	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): @BetsyO - I completely agree. I'm a Michigan dude.
	11:15am TDK60: DJ Joe, it sounds like WFMU now has years' worth of coffee on hand. Need any black tea? Yerba mate?
	11:16am Jennica: Sell them!
	♥ 11:17am iiibeat: I don't think that covid in general can be considered in a binary fashion . . Like . . Either it is a scam or it is not a scam. It is like all other hot issues . . Valid points are dependent on context.
	♥ 11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seger with two E's - Cheers - must limp to the grammatical finish line for our Artistes...
	11:18am Roberto: Is that an Australian greeting? Yerba, mate!
	11:18am Mike W: It’s just like Single File, just with excess vinyl around the one or two songs you like
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @MikeW: Jeez, I only recall seeing regular whole milk. Sure would be nice to have some oat!
	11:18am TDK60: Ha ha Roberto.
	♥ 11:19am Hughie Considine: Well this definitely has the wistful Dream Academy feeling..
	11:19am Mike W: @Joe McG I will write to the Oatly corporation on your behalf (that’s my alt.milk too)
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: Joe, it is very often the second album that does not quite cut it. I did the same as you, making a mix tape of the best tracks.
	11:20am paul: Well said, RevRabbit. :)
	♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being from New Hampshuh - 'Life in a Northern Town' resonates. Also - Beatles.
	11:20am Roberto: Life on a Northern Beach?
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @MikeW: Hooray! @TDK60: Tea is always nice, but for me, I'd need some decaf or herbal.
	11:22am framingham phil: enjoying the cuts, but think your stylus (or shtylus, as it would now sound) needs a cleaning!
	11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: Apropos of less than nothing: Trying like hell to convince remote-working co-workers that the Elvis film CLAMBAKE is the pinnacle of human achievement. It may be working.
	11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello
	♥ 11:23am Krys O.: Thought that the Dream Academy track was the Polyphonic Spree without looking at the playlist.
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): Mark Radice is "a prolific songwriter, with over 5,500 original songs to his credit." Well Joe, at least you like one of them...
	♥ 11:24am Tim 07030: Mark Radice's drummer sounds like he's had a few coffees.
	♥ 11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clambake is great fun. But Carl Perkins did it better.
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - have you ever reconsidered a Closet Cleaning pull after airing the best cut?
	♥ 11:25am David (in London): Rev Turnip. I'll take your Clam Bake and raise you a Double Trouble.
	11:27am TDK60: Redeye: I heard a Buffalo Springfield/CSN influence, maybe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @tim: Hmm, I'll have to think about that. Since I've heard the whole thing, I don't know if it would work for Random Pull. @David: Ha ha ha
	♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): JOe - are you sure there's only good song on this Porter/Skeeter record?
	♥ 11:29am Tim 07030: Do as many kids bite the dust in Porter/Skeeter duets as in Porter/Dolly duets?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @tim: One or two. I just don't like the production. I was disappointed because I love them both individually.
	11:30am yerfriendpaul: Paper Moon is one of my favorite songs ever
	11:31am paul: Paul McCartney did a nice version of Paper Moon.
	♥ 11:32am David (in London): This is the song that plays whenever I drive a golf buggy down Stoke Newington High Street whilst very drunk on Martinis.
	11:32am P-90: Trivia: this instrumental plays in the elevators at Austin Powers’ apartment building.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Joe, think you are doing the right thing.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: @P-90, impressive!
	11:35am Listener Baby: Baby Joe!
	11:36am ami ad: Joe bim.
	11:38am Dean: What if you liked only one or two songs on Yes's Tales from Topographic Oceans? Keep? Discard?
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dean: Ha! I can't imagine loving any songs on that.
	11:39am Dean: (I love all four!)
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Dean: (You should keep that one!)
	♥ 11:40am mariano: "Paper Moon" is a wonderful movie too.
	11:41am Brendan: On Borrowed Time was a great movie . Lionel Barrymore had Death stuck up in his apple tree and wouldn’t let him down.
	11:41am Brendan: The song was nice too!
	♥ 11:41am David (in London): These days Dulwich Foxes are mostly foraging for old KFC chicken bones in people's dustbins.
	11:41am Dean: As a matter of fact, I have two copies, one vinyl, one CD.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: I liked that one! @Dean: Ha ha. For the bonus tracks!
	♥ 11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): Wild Turkey's Dulwish Fox would be pretty easy on the ears after a night of partying with the band's namesake.
	11:44am yerfriendpaul: @Mariano - loved that movie. So good
	11:45am Jeffrey Davison: Hey, Joe! Caught maybe half the show today. I'm a fan of the George Gerdes album. Underrated, I think. Never saw any singles. The other Karen Beth albums are better. This one is okay. Nice set!
	♥ 11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...something with slide had me reaching for electric gittar - also coffees...then I miss stuff & the stereo doesn't sound loud enuff...
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: At least this Karen does not have issues (with everything)
	11:47am Mike W: walked into the room and first thought Karen Beth was Suddenly, Tammy being much better (apparently just on this one song)
	11:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: This demands a Cab Calloway one-two punch!
	♥ 11:49am pantz: What a voice Lena had. Like warm honey.
	11:49am BetsyO: @Tim from Champaign,... the Detroit, Flint & AnnArbor music scene in those years produced some really great rock and roll music,... must of been all those metal stamping machines and the pouring of melted steel combined with a blue collar work ethic,... all swirled and filleted with the soulful psychedelic chaotic times it all found itself in.
	♥ 11:50am mariano: RevTD: "Reefer Man"!
	♥ 11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Once in a while a track - thinks - used to hear that in the 20th Century ( ! )....
	11:51am Carmichael: Late heya to Joe #1 and all #1 fans.
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: @JD: I agree, I like Gerdes! Karen Beth's "Joys of Life" is much better!
	11:51am Joe B: thanks for bearing with us behind the scenes Joe!
	11:51am judy from croton: Oh Lena Tell it
	11:52am Dean: What a pleasant coincidence. My WFMU box of goodies just arrived!
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Have Stormy Weather on FS's No One Cares album. I played it at 45rpm by mistake, his phrasing is so good it still sounded good. No chipmonks
	♥ 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Stay careful out there.
	11:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: @mariano: classick!
	♥ 11:52am juan: Love, love, love Lena! Thanks for a wonderful show today, Joe
	11:53am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Fine times.
	11:53am morphe': Thanks Joe and all....
	11:54am TDK60: Gracias Joe.
	♥ 11:54am David (in London): Great show today Joe#1. Joe#2 arrives to keep us from post-McGasko disappointment.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Jim the Poet: Great show, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am mariano: Thank you Joe!
	11:56am Carmichael: @David, whenever a friend and I went to see Todd Rundgren, we would talk about "Post Todd Depression". Now we just call it PTD.
	♥ 11:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Appreciate it! See you all next week in AUGUST. Stay cool as much as you can.
	♥ 11:57am David (in London): Carmichael - Good one. I've suffered from PTD on a couple of occasion, too. Though it was undiagnosed then I guess.
	♥ 11:57am Rob W: Yes BetsyO and Tim, let's hear it for Michigan! (Related note: Don Was hosts a Michigan music celebration / "All Star Revue" concert every year as part of Detroit's annual Concert of Colors festival - which is happening this year although later than usual - see www.concertofcolors.com...) By the way Joe, I am going to be stealing a few songs from your first set in the future, I hope you don't mind. Thanks for another excellent show!
	♥ 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov636: Yes this one. Also 'Man of the World'. ...Two Joes & more coffees - Thank You !
	11:58am John in Phoenixville: Nice closet picks, Joe! I’m in the midst of record collection streamlining as well. Great show as always!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. Lovely...
	12:00pm Davec: Dig that bass....great rhythm section
	♥ 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Great, greats show, Joe. I was so busy I could barely say hi, but I have loved it. Much appreciated!
	12:01pm Davec: Joe....here’s a quarter....
	♥ 12:03pm Brian in UK: l always found the last line of Man of the World rather sad. Great sounds again, Joe.
