	9:06am Krys O.: Greetings! I was listening yesterday to your 2020 premium, Joe. Great fun!
	9:06am Handy Haversack: David -- saw that you were on early today. Day off? Staggering into consciousness here, I guess. We are getting a few days of weather that is not actively hostile to human life, so I'm grateful for that.
	9:08am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, and welcome to the show! @Krys: Glad to hear that you got a kick out of it!

	9:12am Yes: hello all
	👻 9:14am Brian in UK: Hello David. Still grasping a paint brush.
	👻 9:14am Hughie Considine: Rainy Mondays during the pandemic are especially hard to take -- so glad for Surface Noise as an antidote to the blues.
	9:15am David in London: Handy, it’s a public holiday here today. Plus I couldn’t resist Almost Famous today.
	👻 9:15am Brian in UK: Joe, have you ever done a Pedal Steel through the ages show?
	9:16am Rick A.: Picking up where you left off last week, Joe.
	👻 9:17am Brian in UK: Joe what is the special today, not corned beef hash again.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Brian: I've done pedal steel spotlights, I know. Don't remember when, though! @Rick: A bit!
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: I'm on that Harley.
	9:19am Rachel Bo Bachel: Aww, never heard this version! One of my favorite songs... Gm Joe!! Yay, nicely done YLT <3
	9:19am Rick A.: This is a bonafide WFMU hit. This is at least the third DJ to play this song.
	9:20am Aj: There's a new YLT EP?? Happy, happy!!
	9:21am Joe McG: @Rick A: Was Ira playing YLT records again on his show? ;)

	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I blame it on the bossa-nova!...
	9:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Marley, Phillippe!
	👻 9:26am 12539: (Shamefully late Yip!)
	9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - which one of those Beach Boys Arranged that stuff again??...I wasn't quite clear on that..recognizing Parks too...
	9:28am ratso: Hey Joe McG, Monday to ya.
	9:29am nematomorpha: Hello from Vienna. It's grey and rainy here and it's monday.
	9:29am Dennis Diken: hey Joe, 'morning all!
	9:31am TVP: Funny thing: every time I hear Rhapsody in Blue, I immediately think of the old commercials from the 90s for United Airlines.
	👻 9:31am LastWhiteRhino: Golly Joe McGasko, this is a purdy first set this morning.
	9:31am Joe McG: Hope you guys are having an OK Monday so far! Thanks for joining me today.
	9:32am David in London: Hey Phillippe! Rev!
	9:33am Strandlund: Morning Joe! Fantastic show so far!!
	9:33am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff
	9:35am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy! How's the wildlife in your neck of the woods.. er, bricks? Hey DiL, how are things behind the fox mask?
	9:35am Marc Francis: It's so strange hearing people in the audience laugh during this heartbreaking song....
	9:35am Doctor B.: I first heard the Loudon Wainwright version of Motel Blues back in the day. I heard Big Star's version on Big Star Live. I like the version you're spinning!
	9:36am PaulRobeson1920: Hey, like, if your not doing anything later come up to my hotel room and save my life
	9:37am Joe McG: @MarcF: You're right, the audience is a bit too drunk to deal with this one, but the little Nick Drake rhythmic thing appeals to me about this version.
	9:38am Mark R: Very rarely catch your show live--really, really enjoying it, Joe!
	9:38am Really Lisa: Hi Joe and everyone. Glad to be tuned in.
	9:39am ratso: @TVP, not coincidentally, that was UA's most popular advertising campaign since the 1970's "Fly the Friendly Skies", and haven't struck ad gold since.
	9:40am Zimharry: Fantastic set, Joe!!
	9:42am Mark R: Sometimes a new marketing director comes in and throws out a campaign that's working just because he wants to make his mark and sales plummet and he gets fired and usually takes a lot of people with him over the cliff.
	9:43am Pat Sabbath: Or driving
	9:45am Handy Haversack: (Or Arthur Dent, David.)
	9:47am Brian in New Orleans: As a Bostonian raised ..the correct pronounciation is "Bucky Fu@$kin Dent"
	👻 9:48am Hughie Considine: Similar to Aaron F#%~! Boone
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Hughie: I was at that game in 2003.
	9:49am WoodsOfNH: Bill F#%%!!! Buckner
	9:50am Brian in New Orleans: @WoodsOfNH....YES!
	9:51am Brian in New Orleans: And then they brought him back as a coach or something????
	9:54am yerfriendpaul: @Brian - ha ha! I’m a New Englander so I know that pain
	9:54am David in London: Phillippe, all is well behind the fox mask. It’s a holiday here, and I have you guys and Joe McG to keep me company whilst I do some pre-barbecue gardening.
	9:55am Joe McG: Whenever I hear "coach" lately I think of "Cheers" because I've been rewatching it.
	9:56am TDK60: Morning Joe, surfacers.
	9:56am yerfriendpaul: Joe - how does Cheers hold up? I used to love the show but am hesitant to watch again
	9:56am Zimharry: @WoodsOfNH...............McNamara shoulda brought Stapleton in as a defensive replacement.............
	9:57am Brian in New Orleans: @yerfriendpaul...And to think the new generation of fans only know the Red Sox as winners! They are on my "cancel" list this year for trading Mookie
	9:57am Joe McG: @paul: Holding up! Only 5 episodes into Season 1 but I'm enjoying it very much. Great comic actors on that show.
	9:58am Brian in New Orleans: My sister used to wait tables at the real Cheers in Boston back in the day
	9:58am pantz: What a Major Tom guitar tease
	9:58am yerfriendpaul: @Brian - that trade hurt for sure. My nephew’s favorite player. That would’ve been like them trading Yaz when I was a kid. It would’ve crushed me
	9:59am WoodsOfNH: @ZimHarry Ugh. I'm sorry I even brought it up! ;-)
	9:59am Brian in New Orleans: FUCK!...now I'm sad. #byemookie
	👻 9:59am Hughie Considine: @Handy, wow, that was one for the ages!
	10:00am yerfriendpaul: Joe - the actor who played Coach was so good! Ok, you’ve convinced me! Thanks!
	10:01am Zimharry: @WoodsOfNH....................LOL..........acknowledged and understood..........
	10:02am Handy Haversack: This season is so majorly effed up in so many ways that I can barely even take joy in the Red Sox being in such disarray.
	10:02am Brian in New Orleans: When I was roadtripping a while back my friend's sister was housesitting for the actor who played Norm on cheers. He lived on Vachon Island in Seattle I used his rowboat and wore his yellow rubber boots..lol
	10:03am TDK60: Don't follow sports really, but glad there was the recent wildcat strike for BLM.
	10:03am yerfriendpaul: Handy - ha ha
	10:04am Brian in New Orleans: This thread is very "Boston" centric
	10:04am Brian in New Orleans: As opposed to "Boston Celtics".
	10:05am PKNY: Jess Cornelius' voice reminds me of the singer of the Motels, great tune!
	10:06am Joe McG: @PKNY: Totally! She's like a millennial Martha Davis!
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Hoping that momentum continues, TDK60. It's unevenly distributed right now. What isn't, I know.
	10:07am Ike: Got my swag! Thanks Joe and all skeletons!
	10:08am SheWolf: I thought the same about Jess's voice. Love that track.
	10:08am Joe McG: @Ike: Excellent!
	10:09am Mark R: Still killing it, Joe! Love the Jess Cornelius and Sweeping Promises tracks.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Mark: This song actually sounds better at the proper speed, but live and learn!
	10:11am Cal Zone!: I got my swag a couple weeks ago. Best shirts ever! Thanks JMCG and Skels!
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Until the...
	10:12am Rick A.: I'm sorry, Joe, I have to disappear periodically from the chat while listening to your show. I heard Clay and Todd play the YLT Byrds cover. You three are almost the holy trinity of WFMU, except Sheila has to fit in there too!
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Two Ices Creams please. One for me and one for my old lady the Queen.
	10:13am Heh: Entering wfmu chat room is a bit like walking into Cheers bar full of the regulars ;)
	10:13am Yes: :)
	10:13am Mark R: Now THAT's a tagline!
	10:14am queems: i love this
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Begging Pardon - was it the Golden Dregs that I was sure was Mark Lanegan ??
	10:16am P-90: Eclecticism thy name is McGasko
	10:16am Joe McG: I'm going to try to resist playing the Fall.
	10:16am zopa: who are the people in your neighborhood?
	10:17am Joe McG: @Heh: I like the idea of this chatroom as "Cheers." "HEY, Heh!" sounds funny!
	10:17am Handy Haversack: Resistance is futile, Joe!
	10:17am Marc Francis: DON'T RESIST
	10:17am Ike: Do more people per capita live in "council flats" in the UK than live in "projects" in the US, I wonder?
	10:18am nematomorpha: reminds me of country teasers. only more family friendly
	10:19am Joe McG: I like when people sing about their neighborhoods. Like Mr. Rogers and Tom Waits.
	10:19am P-90: A version of Cheers where all the regulars are slightly different versions of Cliff...
	10:20am Jason from Houston: Millie Jackson, Child of God...
	10:20am Heh: Must... not... Mark E... must... resist... or at least, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBUiPs1PxKo
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Joe, this show is so new, you will be playing something from 2021 by the end.
	10:21am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG If you imagine "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" being sung by Mr. Rogers, you will be entertained for hours, if not days.
	10:22am zopa: oh the dj is a person in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-hood.
	10:22am TDK60: DJs live in neighborhoods too.
	10:23am pantz: Not in my neighborhood!!!
	10:23am Joe McG: @pantz: Smart man!
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:24am ?: Hi Joe,from Griffith park!
	10:25am chresti: yours truly...
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: zopa, for some reason I was thinking about the south-east side coast of South America earlier, then you came to mind and now here you are.
	10:26am chresti: Back to work..
	10:26am zopa: it's my birthday Brian, and i refuse to get out of bed.
	10:27am P-90: Mr. Rogers would have been perfectly happy to have Tom Waits on his show to talk about writing and playing music, telling stories in lyrics, etc. and he would have been welcome to sing a little (relatively hooker-free material) too.
	10:28am brainiac: Good morning from Califorina's slimy chip bowl, Sacramento
	10:28am PaulRobeson1920: The SLUGS from the Lower East Side?
	10:28am PaulRobeson1920: Oh yes
	10:29am Dean: "The Piano's Been Drinking Fruit Punch Again."
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: zopa, is it Porto Alegre, where you live? HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: @P-90 When you are play 15’s there are never enough hookers. “If i was the marrying kind if be a rugby...”
	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: Playing*
	10:31am Ike: I didn't realize that was the song title at first, so I thought momentarily, "Wow, Joe has really bizarre dreams, but more power to him, I guess."
	10:31am PaulRobeson1920: Oh boy
	10:31am zopa: Brian, close. upstate New York.
	10:31am PaulRobeson1920: Probably doesn’t translate as well without the tune behind the song!
	10:32am PaulRobeson1920: Play those 45’s!!
	10:32am TDK60: Can we hear a 45 sped up to 78?
	10:32am PaulRobeson1920: Right on
	10:33am brainiac: Faster, play the 45s FASTER!
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: Oh, different zopa then. Have a lazy day.
	10:34am PaulRobeson1920: Hang loose everybody
	10:34am Marc Francis: This is ACE. Never heard this version before.
	10:35am zopa: thanks brian! happy to be zopa #2.
	10:35am Joe McG: @TDK60: Maybe!
	10:35am northguineahills: What Marc said...
	10:35am Earth Walker: Nice one to move to !
	10:36am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!
	10:36am PaulRobeson1920: Talking about me and you baby
	10:39am yerfriendpaul: Ethel!!
	10:40am Lixiviated Life: oh, hi joe
	10:40am TDK60: Joe, or slowed to 33 & 1/3 RPM, don't care.
	10:40am P-90: Voice like Cadillac horn. But very musical.
	10:41am Joe McG: Hi, Coco, Lixiviated, all!
	10:42am PaulRobeson1920: “A great big tree growing green and free... You could back up your truck and fill it up The doors were open wide. It was company policy, we did alll the time.”
	10:43am PaulRobeson1920: *We did it all time! Hahah
	10:44am brainiac: I'd go see a musical featuring Rang-A-Tang, provided social distancing guidelines were being observed .
	10:44am gwtg: I like to think that Ethel Merman's song was from her character in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad world when Mama was younger.
	10:44am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:45am Jason from Houston: So fine...
	👻 10:45am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe - this is what I'd call a singles potpourri this morning!
	10:45am Joe McG: @Henry: Ah good, that's the Platonic ideal of this segment!
	10:46am TDK60: Good Kris kut.
	👻 10:46am Webhamster Henry: That Ethel Song is a studio version of a tune from Call Me Madam.
	10:47am PaulRobeson1920: Really good stuff being played on the Radio
	10:47am Handy Haversack: It gets personal fast, this one! Not 78 fast, but fast!
	10:48am Jason from Houston: Whoa...
	10:48am Joe McG: @Handy: You ain't kiddin'!
	10:49am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Fine tunes.
	10:50am Cal Zone!: Single file is my favorite part of your show! Always love the variety!
	👻 10:50am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and Single Filers!
	10:51am Joe McG: I guess I should've played this rumba after "Love Bandito"!
	10:52am zopa: Tim!!
	10:53am brainiac: @Joe, I'm editing the play order in my mind.
	10:54am WoodsOfNH: I think I still have my 45 of The Ohio Players "Funky Worm" around here somewhere...
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign (now washington): I thought this was Humble Pie.
	10:54am Yes: i dig cat
	10:55am Joe McG: @brainiac: A helpful approach at any time! :)
	10:55am Stillwell Coney Islander: Ethel Agnes Zimmerman shortened her last name to Merman. That's so cool
	10:55am Joe McG: @SCI: Little known fact: She's Bob Dylan's mother.
	10:57am efd: loved that Cat record, Joe!
	10:57am brainiac: I'm begging for this ABBA tune to be played at 78.
	10:57am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM sorry, joe mac, i ain't buyin'. he's WAY too much of a wimp to be ethel's baby boy!
	10:58am Heh: @ Joe you almost got me
	10:58am Joe McG: @Monk: Ha ha ha!
	10:58am Joe McG: @efd: The LP, which I don't have, looks interesting by the song titles: www.discogs.com...
	10:59am TDK60: Joe Strummer said he liked ABBA.
	10:59am efd: I was just looking at that! A real sign of the times that it has a song called "I'm Gonna Hijack A Plane To Cuba"
	11:00am WoodsOfNH: It would be even better if Dylan was the child of Merman and Ernest Borgnine.
	11:00am efd: honestly I'm surprised I don't have that album, it looks familiar to me.. Plus they're Canadian!
	11:00am Jeff Golick: Alan Partridge is happy somewhere.
	11:00am Mick: Happy Monday all - jumping in to share two high compliments from the GF this morning. While having coffee she asked which DJ this is; then when I told her, she said "Thank god for Joe McGasko." Then a while later, she said from the other room, "You can turn this up if you want."
	11:01am Dean: Dylan had parents?
	11:01am Jason from Houston: Hahaha...
	👻 11:01am 12539: Helium Boing Boing!
	11:01am TDK60: My caffeine kicked in.
	11:02am brainiac: "Thank god for Joe McGasko" needs to be emblazoned on a T-shirt.
	👻 11:02am 12539: brainiac - I had that same thought!
	11:02am Handy Haversack: Well, this completes all sorts of urges I didn't know I had. FASTER!
	11:02am nematomorpha: someone put acid in my tea
	11:02am TheLoneliestMonk: ABBA as helium chipmunks is SO appropriate, as they're lighter than air!
	11:03am TheLoneliestMonk: @JG A-HAaaaaaa!
	11:03am Mick: Heheheh, @brainiac. Next year's swag. FWIW, in response to the sped up ABBA she just said "Joe McGasko, what are you doing?" Maybe that goes on the back...
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ABBA = Robot Mamas & Papas
	11:04am PaulRobeson1920: @nemTomorpha The Beatles dentist probably
	11:04am TheLoneliestMonk: @woods now that would be one tough fuggo of a kid!
	11:04am Heh: I move that the station change the schedule so Stashu follows Joe McG or vice versa
	11:05am Heh: @ Joe: I typed that before you said that
	11:05am TheLoneliestMonk: @TDK elvis costello claims he's a big fan too. i don't get it...
	👻 11:06am Hughie Considine: Songs like "Oliver's Army" show the ABBA influence clearly.
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: @brainiac, who is this god you write of?
	11:07am PaulRobeson1920: G-d* ?
	11:07am brainiac: @UK Bri: He's the little boy that lives in my mouth.
	11:08am PaulRobeson1920: There is a “Balm is Gilead”
	11:08am PaulRobeson1920: In*
	11:09am Toothgrinder Tom: More Ethel Merman? To what do we owe this honor?
	11:09am WoodsOfNH: @TheLoniestMonk Ha! No doubt. I also love that Merman and Borgnine were married for an entire 32 days.
	11:11am PaulRobeson1920: Buler, Buuler, Buuler
	11:11am TDK60: TheLoneliestMonk: As I recall the Strummer interview was with a US rock mag. His defense was: I'm European, I can't help it.
	11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Fine fine Station WFMU!
	11:14am Joe McG: Come for the fine fine music, stay for the fine cuisine.
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Hahahaha! This song is actually titled Jameroony. I wonder if this jameroony involved some tootskyroo and doobers.
	11:16am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	11:16am zopa: for a minute i thought this was seven ships...
	11:16am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! Missed you last week due to some fire drama involving my in-laws in NorCal. Everyone's back home and doing fine :)
	11:16am Joe McG: @tim: Undoubtedly!
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fine but I'm waiting for Tim Buckley to sing...
	11:17am Joe McG: @S&M: Howdy! @Alex: Wow, glad no one was hurt! Scary!
	11:18am Dean: MUSICIAN (June 1, 1981, interview with Strummer and Robert Fripp): Speaking of evolving musical forms and working in different styles: I got the new Ellen Foley record recently and I noticed that you and Mick wrote most of the tunes, and that you all (the Clash) back her up on the record. I played it for a few people and asked "now, who do you think this is?" Most people thought it was Abba... STRUMMER: That's a compliment! FRIPP: Abba are very, very good. MUSICIAN: I agree, but I'm surprised to hear you both say that. What do you like about them? STRUMMER: They hardly ever lay a turkey on you. They've kind of hit a rut these days, but they were in there just blammin' 'em onto the charts for ages, which is admirable...also the girls are nice looking!
	11:18am Listener Alexandra: It was a week; thankfully the town they live in was spared, but it was pretty touch and go for a bit. Now we can all go back to our usual abnormal, LOL. Glad to be on here and calm again!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Dean: "Blammin' 'em into the charts for ages" is genius. Thanks for posting.
	11:20am zopa: wooden*
	11:22am Joe McG: BTW, "Jameroony" is only 45 minutes long, so it will be over in no time (I kid).
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Too long since jammed Acoustics with sumbody... everyone should do that regularly...
	11:23am WoodsOfNH: I keep thinking this Jameroony is going to turn into "Ridin' The Storm Out"
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...OK not too regularly...
	11:23am Joe McG: @Woods: I WISH!
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Jameroony is the soundtrack for the whole voyage.
	👻 11:26am Hughie Considine: Not to be confused with Dig (aroonie) by Nervous Norvis
	11:26am Joe McG: @Hughie: Or "Bony Maronie."
	11:29am Yes: lovely song
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): This Sally Anne Morgan is fantastic!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or Only the Ronery by Roy Orbison with ScoobyDo...
	👻 11:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe. Surface Noise is part of a balanced breakfast.
	👻 11:33am Hughie Considine: Indeed, @Joe! I would certainly dig an "a-roony" set - obviously Slim & Slam would be on it.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock does a great Polly.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Ken: Or an unbalanced lunch. @Hughie: That certainly sounds possible-a-roonie.
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - have you heard other tracks on this Sally Anne record?
	11:34am Meesalikeu: wow sally anne morgan is just super
	11:34am Joe McG: @tim: I have. All good!
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: With Andy Rooney reviews...
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Fingers crossed that both Andy and Mickey have some pop tunes recorded that Joe can include-a-Rooney!
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: haha! @Rev Rabbit
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Ha, great minds, Rev Rab!
	11:36am Joe B: the Slugs - the new FMU breakout hit!
	11:36am Meesalikeu: yes i believe ive heard hitchcock play polly live, in fact right there in monty hall if im not mistaken.
	11:37am brainiac: What about Sam The Sham and The Phaeroes "Ring Dang Doo"? Can you slip them in too Joe?
	11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: not familiar with these Trees. Groovy. There's a phantasmagoria-era curved air thing going on here.
	11:38am Meesalikeu: i request pere ubu birdies
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woh. Trees. Fairport Oblivian territories...dig.
	11:39am brainiac: How did I manage to mangle "Pharaohs" like that? Better go get some coffee now.
	11:40am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff
	11:41am Meesalikeu: whoa this took a nice psych turn
	11:42am Yes: jams
	11:45am bo: call my spirit to beezlebub
	11:46am Alvy Singer: The Loudest Whisper record has become one of the rarest records ever issued in Ireland.
	11:46am Joe McG: @Alvy: I wonder if it's rarer than the Mellow Candle LP.
	11:46am PaulRobeson1920: Never heard of them before now
	11:48am Meesalikeu: who says music cant take you somewhere else?
	11:49am northguineahills: Nice echoes of Espers...
	11:49am pantz: This set has made me wish to sit on a giant toadstool and smoke a hookah.
	11:49am TDK60: Aging folk rockers are trudging on the forest path, coming right toward you!
	11:50am Handy Haversack: I don't know why I have yet to pick up Sairie on a Bandcamp Friday yet ... oh, hello, September 4!

	9:06am Krys O.: Greetings! I was listening yesterday to your 2020 premium, Joe. Great fun!
	9:06am Handy Haversack: David -- saw that you were on early today. Day off? Staggering into consciousness here, I guess. We are getting a few days of weather that is not actively hostile to human life, so I'm grateful for that.
	9:08am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, and welcome to the show! @Krys: Glad to hear that you got a kick out of it!
	9:09am KWilde: Hey Joe!
	9:11am Marc Francis: Hey Joe! So far so lovely!
	9:12am Yes: hello all
	👻 9:14am Brian in UK: Hello David. Still grasping a paint brush.
	👻 9:14am Hughie Considine: Rainy Mondays during the pandemic are especially hard to take -- so glad for Surface Noise as an antidote to the blues.
	9:15am David in London: Handy, it’s a public holiday here today. Plus I couldn’t resist Almost Famous today.
	👻 9:15am Brian in UK: Joe, have you ever done a Pedal Steel through the ages show?
	9:16am Rick A.: Picking up where you left off last week, Joe.
	👻 9:17am Brian in UK: Joe what is the special today, not corned beef hash again.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Brian: I've done pedal steel spotlights, I know. Don't remember when, though! @Rick: A bit!
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: I'm on that Harley.
	9:19am Rachel Bo Bachel: Aww, never heard this version! One of my favorite songs... Gm Joe!! Yay, nicely done YLT <3
	9:19am Rick A.: This is a bonafide WFMU hit. This is at least the third DJ to play this song.
	9:20am Aj: There's a new YLT EP?? Happy, happy!!
	9:21am Joe McG: @Rick A: Was Ira playing YLT records again on his show? ;)
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Very nice, David. We get one next Monday.

	👻 9:23am Marley P. Dogg: Yip-yip-a-doodle-do! Morning Joe McG! Morning Handy! Morning amigos!
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I blame it on the bossa-nova!...
	9:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Marley, Phillippe!
	👻 9:26am 12539: (Shamefully late Yip!)
	9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - which one of those Beach Boys Arranged that stuff again??...I wasn't quite clear on that..recognizing Parks too...
	9:28am ratso: Hey Joe McG, Monday to ya.
	9:29am nematomorpha: Hello from Vienna. It's grey and rainy here and it's monday.
	9:29am Dennis Diken: hey Joe, 'morning all!
	9:31am TVP: Funny thing: every time I hear Rhapsody in Blue, I immediately think of the old commercials from the 90s for United Airlines.
	👻 9:31am LastWhiteRhino: Golly Joe McGasko, this is a purdy first set this morning.
	9:31am Joe McG: Hope you guys are having an OK Monday so far! Thanks for joining me today.
	9:32am David in London: Hey Phillippe! Rev!
	9:33am Strandlund: Morning Joe! Fantastic show so far!!
	9:33am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff
	9:35am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy! How's the wildlife in your neck of the woods.. er, bricks? Hey DiL, how are things behind the fox mask?
	9:35am Marc Francis: It's so strange hearing people in the audience laugh during this heartbreaking song....
	9:35am Doctor B.: I first heard the Loudon Wainwright version of Motel Blues back in the day. I heard Big Star's version on Big Star Live. I like the version you're spinning!
	9:36am PaulRobeson1920: Hey, like, if your not doing anything later come up to my hotel room and save my life
	9:37am Joe McG: @MarcF: You're right, the audience is a bit too drunk to deal with this one, but the little Nick Drake rhythmic thing appeals to me about this version.
	9:38am Mark R: Very rarely catch your show live--really, really enjoying it, Joe!
	9:38am Really Lisa: Hi Joe and everyone. Glad to be tuned in.
	9:39am ratso: @TVP, not coincidentally, that was UA's most popular advertising campaign since the 1970's "Fly the Friendly Skies", and haven't struck ad gold since.
	9:40am Zimharry: Fantastic set, Joe!!
	9:42am Mark R: Sometimes a new marketing director comes in and throws out a campaign that's working just because he wants to make his mark and sales plummet and he gets fired and usually takes a lot of people with him over the cliff.
	9:43am Pat Sabbath: Or driving
	9:45am Handy Haversack: (Or Arthur Dent, David.)
	9:47am Brian in New Orleans: As a Bostonian raised ..the correct pronounciation is "Bucky Fu@$kin Dent"
	👻 9:48am Hughie Considine: Similar to Aaron F#%~! Boone
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Hughie: I was at that game in 2003.
	9:49am WoodsOfNH: Bill F#%%!!! Buckner
	9:50am Brian in New Orleans: @WoodsOfNH....YES!
	9:51am Brian in New Orleans: And then they brought him back as a coach or something????
	9:54am yerfriendpaul: @Brian - ha ha! I’m a New Englander so I know that pain
	9:54am David in London: Phillippe, all is well behind the fox mask. It’s a holiday here, and I have you guys and Joe McG to keep me company whilst I do some pre-barbecue gardening.
	9:55am Joe McG: Whenever I hear "coach" lately I think of "Cheers" because I've been rewatching it.
	9:56am TDK60: Morning Joe, surfacers.
	9:56am yerfriendpaul: Joe - how does Cheers hold up? I used to love the show but am hesitant to watch again
	9:56am Zimharry: @WoodsOfNH...............McNamara shoulda brought Stapleton in as a defensive replacement.............
	9:57am Brian in New Orleans: @yerfriendpaul...And to think the new generation of fans only know the Red Sox as winners! They are on my "cancel" list this year for trading Mookie
	9:57am Joe McG: @paul: Holding up! Only 5 episodes into Season 1 but I'm enjoying it very much. Great comic actors on that show.
	9:58am Brian in New Orleans: My sister used to wait tables at the real Cheers in Boston back in the day
	9:58am pantz: What a Major Tom guitar tease
	9:58am yerfriendpaul: @Brian - that trade hurt for sure. My nephew’s favorite player. That would’ve been like them trading Yaz when I was a kid. It would’ve crushed me
	9:59am WoodsOfNH: @ZimHarry Ugh. I'm sorry I even brought it up! ;-)
	9:59am Brian in New Orleans: FUCK!...now I'm sad. #byemookie
	👻 9:59am Hughie Considine: @Handy, wow, that was one for the ages!
	10:00am yerfriendpaul: Joe - the actor who played Coach was so good! Ok, you’ve convinced me! Thanks!
	10:01am Zimharry: @WoodsOfNH....................LOL..........acknowledged and understood..........
	10:02am Handy Haversack: This season is so majorly effed up in so many ways that I can barely even take joy in the Red Sox being in such disarray.
	10:02am Brian in New Orleans: When I was roadtripping a while back my friend's sister was housesitting for the actor who played Norm on cheers. He lived on Vachon Island in Seattle I used his rowboat and wore his yellow rubber boots..lol
	10:03am TDK60: Don't follow sports really, but glad there was the recent wildcat strike for BLM.
	10:03am yerfriendpaul: Handy - ha ha
	10:04am Brian in New Orleans: This thread is very "Boston" centric
	10:04am Brian in New Orleans: As opposed to "Boston Celtics".
	10:05am PKNY: Jess Cornelius' voice reminds me of the singer of the Motels, great tune!
	10:06am Joe McG: @PKNY: Totally! She's like a millennial Martha Davis!
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Hoping that momentum continues, TDK60. It's unevenly distributed right now. What isn't, I know.
	10:07am Ike: Got my swag! Thanks Joe and all skeletons!
	10:08am SheWolf: I thought the same about Jess's voice. Love that track.
	10:08am Joe McG: @Ike: Excellent!
	10:09am Mark R: Still killing it, Joe! Love the Jess Cornelius and Sweeping Promises tracks.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Mark: This song actually sounds better at the proper speed, but live and learn!
	10:11am Cal Zone!: I got my swag a couple weeks ago. Best shirts ever! Thanks JMCG and Skels!
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Until the...
	10:12am Rick A.: I'm sorry, Joe, I have to disappear periodically from the chat while listening to your show. I heard Clay and Todd play the YLT Byrds cover. You three are almost the holy trinity of WFMU, except Sheila has to fit in there too!
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Two Ices Creams please. One for me and one for my old lady the Queen.
	10:13am Heh: Entering wfmu chat room is a bit like walking into Cheers bar full of the regulars ;)
	10:13am Yes: :)
	10:13am Mark R: Now THAT's a tagline!
	10:14am queems: i love this
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Begging Pardon - was it the Golden Dregs that I was sure was Mark Lanegan ??
	10:16am P-90: Eclecticism thy name is McGasko
	10:16am Joe McG: I'm going to try to resist playing the Fall.
	10:16am zopa: who are the people in your neighborhood?
	10:17am Joe McG: @Heh: I like the idea of this chatroom as "Cheers." "HEY, Heh!" sounds funny!
	10:17am Handy Haversack: Resistance is futile, Joe!
	10:17am Marc Francis: DON'T RESIST
	10:17am Ike: Do more people per capita live in "council flats" in the UK than live in "projects" in the US, I wonder?
	10:18am nematomorpha: reminds me of country teasers. only more family friendly
	10:19am Joe McG: I like when people sing about their neighborhoods. Like Mr. Rogers and Tom Waits.
	10:19am P-90: A version of Cheers where all the regulars are slightly different versions of Cliff...
	10:20am Jason from Houston: Millie Jackson, Child of God...
	10:20am Heh: Must... not... Mark E... must... resist... or at least, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBUiPs1PxKo
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Joe, this show is so new, you will be playing something from 2021 by the end.
	10:21am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG If you imagine "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" being sung by Mr. Rogers, you will be entertained for hours, if not days.
	10:22am zopa: oh the dj is a person in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-hood.
	10:22am TDK60: DJs live in neighborhoods too.
	10:23am pantz: Not in my neighborhood!!!
	10:23am Joe McG: @pantz: Smart man!
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:24am ?: Hi Joe,from Griffith park!
	10:25am chresti: yours truly...
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: zopa, for some reason I was thinking about the south-east side coast of South America earlier, then you came to mind and now here you are.
	10:26am chresti: Back to work..
	10:26am zopa: it's my birthday Brian, and i refuse to get out of bed.
	10:27am P-90: Mr. Rogers would have been perfectly happy to have Tom Waits on his show to talk about writing and playing music, telling stories in lyrics, etc. and he would have been welcome to sing a little (relatively hooker-free material) too.
	10:28am brainiac: Good morning from Califorina's slimy chip bowl, Sacramento
	10:28am PaulRobeson1920: The SLUGS from the Lower East Side?
	10:28am PaulRobeson1920: Oh yes

	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: Playing*
	10:31am Ike: I didn't realize that was the song title at first, so I thought momentarily, "Wow, Joe has really bizarre dreams, but more power to him, I guess."
	10:31am PaulRobeson1920: Oh boy
	10:31am zopa: Brian, close. upstate New York.
	10:31am PaulRobeson1920: Probably doesn’t translate as well without the tune behind the song!
	10:32am PaulRobeson1920: Play those 45’s!!
	10:32am TDK60: Can we hear a 45 sped up to 78?
	10:32am PaulRobeson1920: Right on
	10:33am brainiac: Faster, play the 45s FASTER!
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: Oh, different zopa then. Have a lazy day.

	10:42am PaulRobeson1920: “A great big tree growing green and free... You could back up your truck and fill it up The doors were open wide. It was company policy, we did alll the time.”
	10:43am PaulRobeson1920: *We did it all time! Hahah
	10:44am brainiac: I'd go see a musical featuring Rang-A-Tang, provided social distancing guidelines were being observed .
	10:44am gwtg: I like to think that Ethel Merman's song was from her character in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad world when Mama was younger.

	10:45am Jason from Houston: So fine...

	10:52am zopa: Tim!!
	10:53am brainiac: @Joe, I'm editing the play order in my mind.
	10:54am WoodsOfNH: I think I still have my 45 of The Ohio Players "Funky Worm" around here somewhere...
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign (now washington): I thought this was Humble Pie.
	10:54am Yes: i dig cat

	10:57am brainiac: I'm begging for this ABBA tune to be played at 78.
	10:57am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM sorry, joe mac, i ain't buyin'. he's WAY too much of a wimp to be ethel's baby boy!
	10:58am Heh: @ Joe you almost got me
	10:58am Joe McG: @Monk: Ha ha ha!
	10:58am Joe McG: @efd: The LP, which I don't have, looks interesting by the song titles: www.discogs.com...
	10:59am TDK60: Joe Strummer said he liked ABBA.
	10:59am efd: I was just looking at that! A real sign of the times that it has a song called "I'm Gonna Hijack A Plane To Cuba"
	11:00am WoodsOfNH: It would be even better if Dylan was the child of Merman and Ernest Borgnine.
	11:00am efd: honestly I'm surprised I don't have that album, it looks familiar to me.. Plus they're Canadian!
	11:00am Jeff Golick: Alan Partridge is happy somewhere.
	11:00am Mick: Happy Monday all - jumping in to share two high compliments from the GF this morning. While having coffee she asked which DJ this is; then when I told her, she said "Thank god for Joe McGasko." Then a while later, she said from the other room, "You can turn this up if you want."
	11:01am Dean: Dylan had parents?
	11:01am Jason from Houston: Hahaha...
	👻 11:01am 12539: Helium Boing Boing!
	11:01am TDK60: My caffeine kicked in.
	11:02am brainiac: "Thank god for Joe McGasko" needs to be emblazoned on a T-shirt.
	👻 11:02am 12539: brainiac - I had that same thought!
	11:02am Handy Haversack: Well, this completes all sorts of urges I didn't know I had. FASTER!
	11:02am nematomorpha: someone put acid in my tea
	11:02am TheLoneliestMonk: ABBA as helium chipmunks is SO appropriate, as they're lighter than air!
	11:03am TheLoneliestMonk: @JG A-HAaaaaaa!
	11:03am Mick: Heheheh, @brainiac. Next year's swag. FWIW, in response to the sped up ABBA she just said "Joe McGasko, what are you doing?" Maybe that goes on the back...
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ABBA = Robot Mamas & Papas
	11:04am PaulRobeson1920: @nemTomorpha The Beatles dentist probably
	11:04am TheLoneliestMonk: @woods now that would be one tough fuggo of a kid!
	11:04am Heh: I move that the station change the schedule so Stashu follows Joe McG or vice versa
	11:05am Heh: @ Joe: I typed that before you said that
	11:05am TheLoneliestMonk: @TDK elvis costello claims he's a big fan too. i don't get it...
	👻 11:06am Hughie Considine: Songs like "Oliver's Army" show the ABBA influence clearly.
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: @brainiac, who is this god you write of?
	11:07am PaulRobeson1920: G-d* ?
	11:07am brainiac: @UK Bri: He's the little boy that lives in my mouth.
	11:08am PaulRobeson1920: There is a “Balm is Gilead”
	11:08am PaulRobeson1920: In*
	11:09am Toothgrinder Tom: More Ethel Merman? To what do we owe this honor?
	11:09am WoodsOfNH: @TheLoniestMonk Ha! No doubt. I also love that Merman and Borgnine were married for an entire 32 days.
	11:11am PaulRobeson1920: Buler, Buuler, Buuler
	11:11am TDK60: TheLoneliestMonk: As I recall the Strummer interview was with a US rock mag. His defense was: I'm European, I can't help it.
	11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Fine fine Station WFMU!
	11:14am Joe McG: Come for the fine fine music, stay for the fine cuisine.
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Hahahaha! This song is actually titled Jameroony. I wonder if this jameroony involved some tootskyroo and doobers.
	11:16am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	11:16am zopa: for a minute i thought this was seven ships...
	11:16am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! Missed you last week due to some fire drama involving my in-laws in NorCal. Everyone's back home and doing fine :)
	11:16am Joe McG: @tim: Undoubtedly!
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fine but I'm waiting for Tim Buckley to sing...
	11:17am Joe McG: @S&M: Howdy! @Alex: Wow, glad no one was hurt! Scary!
	11:18am Dean: MUSICIAN (June 1, 1981, interview with Strummer and Robert Fripp): Speaking of evolving musical forms and working in different styles: I got the new Ellen Foley record recently and I noticed that you and Mick wrote most of the tunes, and that you all (the Clash) back her up on the record. I played it for a few people and asked "now, who do you think this is?" Most people thought it was Abba... STRUMMER: That's a compliment! FRIPP: Abba are very, very good. MUSICIAN: I agree, but I'm surprised to hear you both say that. What do you like about them? STRUMMER: They hardly ever lay a turkey on you. They've kind of hit a rut these days, but they were in there just blammin' 'em onto the charts for ages, which is admirable...also the girls are nice looking!
	11:18am Listener Alexandra: It was a week; thankfully the town they live in was spared, but it was pretty touch and go for a bit. Now we can all go back to our usual abnormal, LOL. Glad to be on here and calm again!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Dean: "Blammin' 'em into the charts for ages" is genius. Thanks for posting.
	11:20am zopa: wooden*
	11:22am Joe McG: BTW, "Jameroony" is only 45 minutes long, so it will be over in no time (I kid).
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Too long since jammed Acoustics with sumbody... everyone should do that regularly...
	11:23am WoodsOfNH: I keep thinking this Jameroony is going to turn into "Ridin' The Storm Out"
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...OK not too regularly...
	11:23am Joe McG: @Woods: I WISH!
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Jameroony is the soundtrack for the whole voyage.
	👻 11:26am Hughie Considine: Not to be confused with Dig (aroonie) by Nervous Norvis
	11:26am Joe McG: @Hughie: Or "Bony Maronie."
	11:29am Yes: lovely song
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): This Sally Anne Morgan is fantastic!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or Only the Ronery by Roy Orbison with ScoobyDo...
	👻 11:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe. Surface Noise is part of a balanced breakfast.
	👻 11:33am Hughie Considine: Indeed, @Joe! I would certainly dig an "a-roony" set - obviously Slim & Slam would be on it.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock does a great Polly.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Ken: Or an unbalanced lunch. @Hughie: That certainly sounds possible-a-roonie.
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - have you heard other tracks on this Sally Anne record?
	11:34am Meesalikeu: wow sally anne morgan is just super
	11:34am Joe McG: @tim: I have. All good!
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: With Andy Rooney reviews...
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Fingers crossed that both Andy and Mickey have some pop tunes recorded that Joe can include-a-Rooney!
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: haha! @Rev Rabbit
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Ha, great minds, Rev Rab!
	11:36am Joe B: the Slugs - the new FMU breakout hit!

	11:37am brainiac: What about Sam The Sham and The Phaeroes "Ring Dang Doo"? Can you slip them in too Joe?
	11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: not familiar with these Trees. Groovy. There's a phantasmagoria-era curved air thing going on here.
	11:38am Meesalikeu: i request pere ubu birdies

	11:42am Yes: jams

	11:46am Alvy Singer: The Loudest Whisper record has become one of the rarest records ever issued in Ireland.
	11:46am Joe McG: @Alvy: I wonder if it's rarer than the Mellow Candle LP.
	11:46am PaulRobeson1920: Never heard of them before now
	11:48am Meesalikeu: who says music cant take you somewhere else?
