	9:08am Handy Haversack: Phillippe, David! You made it in under the wire.
	9:08am Buddha of Suburbia: Joe McGasko, I think you have a thing for Klezmer style of music in rock and jazz. This is not the first time I detected some Klezmer funk on your show.
	9:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buenos Boleros !
	9:09am David in London: Handy, Mariano, Phillippe, Buddha, Brian! So many groovers.
	9:10am David in London: Yeti Bob, Krys!

	9:12am Buddha of Suburbia: Hey Mariano! Hey David from London! Phillippe Bastille. long time no see!! BNOWB!
	9:12am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Buddha!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: We're gonna need more Beakers, Brian.
	9:14am David in London: Mariano, I don’t, so I will hunt it down. It’s always been a favourite line of mine.
	9:14am Tank Top: Great song and album by Herbie. Read his memoir, it's great!
	👻 9:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Phillippe. Bright and sunny morning in this sector.
	9:15am KWilde: Hey Joe and radio listeners!
	9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So many memoirs, so many Zoom meetings to keep me away from the memoirs.
	9:16am Joe McG: @Tank Top: Thanks for the tip!
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lord Buckley, William F. & Tim Buckley walk into a bar...
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Handy, my knowledge of Muppets is minimal.
	9:19am adampsyche: don't be bad at me but i only know this song from the ATCQ sample
	👻 9:20am Marley P. Dogg: Same
	9:20am Handy Haversack: ... bartender says, "Who wants a beltey?"
	9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...bartender laffs - 'I love my job... [points remote] hope you guys like The Muppetts'...
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: RRN63, might only be William F going into a bar, His Lordship preferred something herbal and Tim liked the needle.
	9:23am yerfriendpaul: Never heard the original before. So used to hearing it on A Tribe Called Quest’s tune
	9:23am Joe McG: Tim during the live gigs from the Troubadour in 1969: "Give smack a chance"
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...didn't say what they did there...
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Maybe it was an iron bar. Ouch.
	9:26am BeNowB on the BMX: This song wasn't on 2 drum kicks in and had to turn it up. This beat just has swag! damn son
	9:27am TheLoneliestMonk: wow, this Delvon Lamarr track sure has a Meters feel to it
	9:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Hello! @9:14Tank Top, I think I'm going to see about that Herbie Hancock memoir. Sounds interesting! I have a book on hold for me at the library as we speak that I am planning to pick up today.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 2020 ?? Nailed it.
	9:27am Uncle Michael: Hey, Leroy...your mama's callin' you!
	9:28am David in London: Brian, I toyed with the iron bar gag but didn’t deploy it in the end. Glad you went for it.
	9:28am Joe McG: @Monk: Totally! A couple of years ago I had these guys on the show. Check out that archive when you get a chance, it smokes.
	9:28am Cal Zone!: Yes to Loneliest Monk....I flinched and thought it was Meters too!
	9:29am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac sounds good. some tasty funk going on. 'member the date?
	9:29am Fuzzy: 2020? Man this is some retro goodness!
	9:29am Uncle Michael: I think I should just buy everything that comes out on Colemine.
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn you FMU - I'm not supposed to be somebody who dances...must you challenge every preconception...
	9:33am Buddha of Suburbia: Revolution Rabbit Nov 63! Just pretend you're on American Bandstand and you're hamming it up for the close up camera.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no - that's exactly the wrong advice :D ...
	9:39am Quack: Can't post comments .. Android version of this app sucks
	9:40am Handy Haversack: It's a good bug!
	9:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Oooh I am looking forward to this jangly set!
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Rache!
	9:42am Roberto: If there is such a thing as REMesque, this is it.
	9:42am MFlynn: Thanks Joe. Love those Jangly guitars, always will.
	9:42am Quack: comments are posting again randomly now... my friend who uses iphone never has these problems on here
	9:43am Handy Haversack: I hope Knormalish is listening, too, Rache.
	9:43am pgalub: An embarrassment of Rickenbackers! Nice one Joe! (P.S. Happy Birthday yesterday to Mitch Easter!)
	9:43am Cal Zone!: Absolute Grey were from Rockin Rochester NY! (On Strum n Thrum Comp).
	9:43am Rachel Bo Bachel: Handy it’s all about the Rickenbacker baby!!!
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jamming with Rawkists in one's youth ...'David wishes he had a Rickenbacher' - har har ...damn right I do.
	9:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Pgalub it’s a sound I can never get tired of- REM is magic to me! So smart, so beautiful
	9:45am Martinibomb: Gooood Morning Joe!
	9:45am Quack: anyone else in the comment board have problems posting with the Android version of the WFMU app?
	9:45am Santos L Halper: Ah, thanks for the Tractor Joe!
	9:46am Martinibomb: @Quack I did run into an odd problem where it kept signing me out?? which looks like what it's doing to you?
	9:46am Cal Zone!: I have lots of problems with the Android App (frequent crashes)...but commenting is not one of them.
	9:46am Jon: iOS is working well, Quack
	9:46am Jon: I know that doesn’t help you. Sorry.
	9:47am pgalub: Mark Mulcahy ftw! ;)
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Testing. 🥪🍗📻
	9:48am Joe McG: Hey Pete! You could jangle right along with this batch!
	9:49am Quack: @Martininibomb. doesn't sign me out, in fact the Android version doesn't have a way to sign in, I just have to retype my name in everytime I post which gets annoying. my friend using iphone can sign in, but I don't have the option. it's weird. otherwise, posting doesn't always want to work
	9:49am pgalub: Indeed, I am! ;)
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I only got a tracFone - no worse than usual...
	9:50am Mike S.: pgalub! been a long time since we traded shirts in the middle of a show;)
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I don need to use it much anymore (no commute!) but a while back I switched to the WoofMoo app because the regular app seemed to wedge and stop playing every so often.
	9:51am pgalub: Mike S! Haha! I got mine just last week! Good stuff!
	9:52am Hubig Pie: Happy jingle jangle mornin'
	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "don't"....man, I need a new keyboard.
	9:52am Will: I wonder when the Jangle Pop UK compilation will come out. Spearheaded by the Smiths, of course!
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course long had Beatles & bYRdS in my heart before REM became synonymous with bitterwsweet Leaving Home & the rise of Alt out of College Radio...
	9:53am Brian in garden: McGuinn first turned my head in '65 but there might be a case for the Searchers being the first to jangle.
	9:55am Cal Zone!: I'm hoping that somebody is working on an updated WFMU Android app. One that doesnt crash and syncs with Android Auto so that I can see playlist when driving. Joe, do you know if anything is in the works?
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure. Well McGuinn makes the point The Beatles were already there. George's 12-String on 'Hard Day's Night' - a major highlight of the 2009 Remasters...
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: mornin, troops
	9:56am Joe McG: @Will: I feel that the UK jangle has been better compiled already than the US version. @Cal Zone!: I'll run it up the flagpole after the show!
	9:58am Cal Zone!: TY Joe!
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Rev. Another SPOXX morning, but I was able to field it. I happily relinquish the duty to its true practitioner, though!
	10:00am Planet Tyler: Downy's voice is reminding me of Roddy Frame
	10:00am Handy Haversack: Guadalcanal Diary! Nice, Joe!
	10:01am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Joe, your show is a real treat. Thanks for taking me back to memories of my high school mixtapes.
	10:02am Joe McG: You bet, Jeff! They used to call this "college rock" back then since only college station played it.
	10:03am egould310: So very jangly. Great way to wake up. Good morning from Seattle.
	10:04am Jeff formerly from Rahway: @Joe when I got my drivers license in 1987 I drove my parents Olds from Rahway to Trenton to see Miracle Legion play a mostly empty City Gardens.
	10:04am luka: {butthead voice} heh heh. college music.
	10:05am Martinibomb: @quack that's what happened to me yesterday but right now it's working fine?
	10:06am Phillippe Bastille: Very much enjoying this, Joe
	10:06am Fuzzy: Cappin' it off with Pretty Persuasion, perhaps? That would be nice.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strawberries are growing in my garden ...it's winter time.
	10:07am Joe McG: I could play this stuff all day, but I'll just spin one more and we'll get out of college...maybe go see the dentist.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: It's been a great set, Joe. Thanks for the jangles. Ooo, "Burning Down"!
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After all - the dentist is where The Beatles got dosed.
	10:08am efd: Clearly I need to get that Strom & Thrum box set, if it's not sold out already.
	👻 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Music for teeth! 🦷
	10:09am Rachel Bo Bachel: The real deal!! <3 <3
	10:09am Jeff formerly from Rahway: No Grapes of Wrath?
	10:09am Jeff Golick: The Strom Thurm set would be a lot less fun to listen to.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Rachel: Yeah, no one really did this style better than these boys. @Jeff: I thought about it, but they're Canadian!
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still in awe of what Stipe did.
	10:10am Baja Joe: Hi Joe. Thanks for the good R.E.M. Jangly as all heck!
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Gah! Bad news, efd.
	10:12am efd: looks like the CD version is still available on the Captured Tracks site, I'm not that picky.
	10:12am efd: the Omnian site, I should say.
	10:13am pgalub: The Buck stops here. Doh!
	10:14am David in London: Joe, I dub thee ‘Mr Yo Jangles’.
	10:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love Dead Letter Office. Has that cool cover of "Toys In The Attic"
	10:16am Jeff Golick: The REM ep of Song Exploder on Netflix is real entertaining.
	10:17am efd: haha, Strum and Thrum obvs!
	10:18am Joe McG: @Jeff: First time all 4 original members talking about R.E.M. stuff!
	10:19am Fuzzy: Sturm und Twang
	10:19am pgalub: Strum Thrumond!
	10:19am Jason from Houston: Just watched Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale last week. If you need a film about white folks and cannibalism post-Rockefeller...
	10:20am Joe McG: @Jason: And who doesn't? ;)
	10:22am Jason from Houston: Hahaha... Special kind of anthropology there.
	10:23am djsheilab: That Hen Ogledd was most intriguing! In a good way.
	10:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of Wyatt, I recently read a book on the history of prog rock. Holy smokes, the egos!! The excess!! Kinda fun.
	10:25am Joe McG: @SheilaB: It's really a very nice pop song, I think!
	10:26am Handy Haversack: What book, Woods?
	10:26am Rich in Bristol: It's thanks to the BBC's Marc Riley that I was introduced to the brilliant Richard Dawson. I'm thoroughly pleased to hear him on your show, too, Joe.
	👻 10:27am 12539: ("prog rock" and "excess" - together?!)
	10:27am βrian: Why do you suppose they call them proglodytes?
	10:28am Joe McG: @Rich: I think he's just terrific! "Peasant" knocked my socks off.
	10:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy The Show That Never Ends
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: Czesław Niemen alert!
	10:35am Handy Haversack: Hard to resist a book that mentions Marillion in the marketing copy, Woods. Hard for me, at any rate.
	10:39am miniteeny: Housemartins excellent!!
	10:39am Mark Hurst: Thanks for playing this, Joe! Been forever since I've heard it.
	10:39am Bootsie: Love, love, LOVE this Housemartins track!
	10:39am paul: First time I've ever heard the Housemartins on the radio. My favorite band at the time.
	10:40am Bootsie: Trivia: Fatboy Slim was their bassist.
	10:41am Joe McG: Breathless song! Hi, Mark!
	10:41am βrian: As a kid, I was always fascinated by purple martins and their fancy houses.
	10:42am Stanley: Punk rock was propelled into existence by the excesses of prog. I believe it was Rick Wakeman's King Arthur on ice at Wembly Arena in 1975 that did it.
	10:42am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:43am Baja Joe: That tune by Star Feminine Band was particularly excellent, I must say.
	10:43am Bootsie: Dolly!
	10:43am Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	10:44am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:44am Handy Haversack: Only thirty years before Green Day on Broadway, Stanley.
	10:45am Joe McG: @Stanley: I would pay almost any price to see King Arthur on ice!
	10:45am suzyhotrod: Dolly! Thanks J McG.
	10:45am Jason from Houston: What a quiet little ripper...
	10:47am Dean: The only overt mockery of prog rock I can think of in punk is the the Germs' "No God," which starts out with the introductory lick from Yes's "Roundabout," then takes off in another direction entirely.
	10:48am Joe McG: Suzy, I envy your roller disco fun!
	10:48am JG: Cool song. Loving/hating it, as I drank too much wine last night
	10:48am Jason from Houston: Fine selections, Joe McG...
	10:50am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, Jason!
	10:51am Dennis Diken: hey Joe - diggin'! jumping in and out today, have a ball!
	👻 10:51am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Joe and very good buddies!
	10:51am Joe McG: Love to hear that, Dennis!
	10:52am Planet Tyler: "Hey window pain do you remember?" lol
	10:53am KWilde: Reminds me of Maxwell House jingle
	10:54am Krys O.: YES! Those chiming guitars always boost my mood.
	10:54am pgalub: ;)
	10:54am Roberto: DEEE BEEEZ
	10:54am Ike: Hi all. Did someone on FMU used to play this Eruption as a slow 45 for bed music? SM Ken maybe? It sounds too fast now so that's why I wonder if somebody repeatedly played it at a slow speed before.
	10:54am Hubig Pie: Ooo, more jingles
	10:55am egould310: Jangly guitars again. Thanks Joe!
	👻 10:55am Brian in UK: Joe, here is a recent article on Rick Wakeman's King Arthur extravaganza. www.vanityfair.com...
	10:55am Stanley: Haha Handy. The 'punk rock band' Green Day. Joe !!?
	10:57am Joe McG: @egould: Wow, yeah, I'm really in a jangly mood today. @Brian: I think that's my favorite article of the entire year.
	10:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy I got the book because there are some prog bands that I don't know much about (Soft Machine for one). Some of it was depressing...seeing the record companies pushing various incarnations of Yes to make fairly dull music.
	10:58am Krys O.: Was a huge fan of Rick Wakeman back in the day. Listened to Six Wives of Henry VIII and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Haven't heard them in many decades.
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): Last week I got a Matt Sweeney/Bonnie Prince Billie cardstock flexi sent to me in the mail. It showed up out of nowhere. It was the coolest unexpected mail I've received in a long time. Did this show up in anyone else's mailbox?
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: wrong speed?
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O - There's a great doc on Live at Leeds...Wakeman was hilarious and super enthusiastic in it.
	👻 11:00am 12539: Show 'em what freedom is, Joe!
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: or is it just my internet running slow?
	11:01am David in London: Has Staysh hijacked Surface Noise?
	11:01am Buddha of Suburbia: See you guys later! Great show Joe! Have a good one everyone!!
	11:02am Handy Haversack: Steering into the skid, Joe! I approve! L8r, Boodz!
	11:02am Dean: Bill Bruford's autobiography is a good read for background about Yes. Saw Wakeman's King Arthur schtick at Anaheim in '75 (no skating). Opening act was Savoy Brown.
	11:02am JG: @ Brian that Rick Wakeman article is gonna be fun to read later. Unless I read it now and don't do the work I'mm supposed to be doing
	11:02am Krys O.: @WoodsOFNH (now Maine): Thanks!
	11:03am Hopey Sockmonkey: I also got the UK version of Repercussion because it also came with a cassette copy of the album.
	11:03am Buddha of Suburbia: Handu! Hope you are feeling okay. I thought I saw you mention a cold coming on on Wake. Oh and Knormalish just got back from Maine last night. She was there with a friend putting on siding on a house. We plan to meet up when she comes through here in a week or two.
	11:04am Buddha of Suburbia: I meant Handy! LOL!
	11:04am miniteeny: New Cut Road by Bobby Bare - great song
	11:05am ?: You played Pearly Gates Free so it could help me as I go to the hospital soon to help my bf decide to get a trach or die in the hospital. I woke up to it.
	11:06am Mike B: By my estimation Neverland (and the DBs of course) is on the Mount Rushmore of Jangle
	11:07am David in London: Happy Hour was an absolute smash hit here. Every student across the land had to own a copy by law or face prosecution.
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign (now washington): Billy Jam's show last Friday was particularly inspired.
	11:08am Handy Haversack: @Woods, about the book, my proggiest friend says that he also really "liked Macan's Rocking the Classics better, but that one's UK prog specific and much more music-theory-nerdy."
	11:09am Mark Hurst: Talking about a Studs Terkel-like book tonight on Techtonic (interviews with various workers inside Silicon Valley).
	11:10am WFMU listener john: Hello fellow listeners
	👻 11:10am tim from champaign (now washington): Sounds purrfect, Joe!
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Depends on how music nerdy it is. I'm a musician but I recently read a book about Pat Metheny's ECM years and it wasted a pile of text completely taking apart song structures, key changes, modes, etc. Not what I was there for.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: I'll rouse the brood, Joe, and direct their attention Surface Noise-ward. Gonna head out on a walk. Absolute smashing show today, Joe, if I don't make it back before the end. Thanks so much! Be well, Yippers. Hope to catch some of you at the Next Joe Up's.
	11:11am Joe McG: Ah, cool, Mark, thanks for checking in!
	11:13am Mark: Happy Hour was a big song on alternative radio - WLIR
	11:14am Joe McG: @Mark: For college kids every hour is happy hour!
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: kiggy <3
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Bet he does not mention, a wet nose being stuck in your ear at 5am demanding food. The cat that is!
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: my cat's breath smells like catfood
	11:15am Joe McG: @RR63: Ha ha, time to brush those choppers.

	11:16am Planet Tyler: Mark Kozelek is in #MeToo trouble, sadly
	11:18am Joe McG: @PT: He writes nice songs about cats, anyway.
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Cat food breath is better than cat box breath
	11:19am Rich in Bristol: Yay! I love Advance Base!
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Was it is Hill Street Blues the plains clothes cop used to call people; dog breath.
	11:21am Rachel Bo Bachel: Whoa this guy sounds a bunch like that Cassiotone for the Painfully Alone fellow
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): There was an autobiography from Paul Rutherford a few years back. I didn't even bother. I don't think I could have handled it. Mike and the Mechanics.
	11:21am Joe McG: @RBR: Same fellow!
	11:21am Planet Tyler: @Joe - and I still love Red House Painters...
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian in UK. Hahaha! Yeah, I think the character's name was Balco or something like that.
	11:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ah! No wonder then! :D
	11:23am Dean: Mike Rutherford? No relation to trombone player Paul, is there?
	11:23am βrian: Somehow reminds me of Karen Dalton.
	11:24am Rich in Bristol: Advance Base (Casiotone at the time) played Bristol quite a few years ago. We learned from him that night (via a re-telling of a story his mother told him) about how John Fogerty doesn't own any of his own Creedence songs.
	11:24am Dean: The living years / Mike Rutherford. London : Constable, 2014.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Not Progressive. Not Rock. Noodling.
	11:26am Krys O.: @Planet Tyler: I agree with you about RHP.
	11:26am Dean: Holy Roman Empire...
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: We have a wet Beagle back from his walk. Ah, wet dog smell.
	11:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: Just googled him- he’s from the town where I was born! Yes Rich isn’t that sad?
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign (now washington): I saw Bob Pollard's list of top 50 records he submitted to rolling stone. There was lots of Yes, Genesis and King Crimson on it. Somehow that makes perfect sense.
	11:29am Planet Tyler: @Krys, yeah good stuff. Too bad he's a f'ing douche
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: @tim: He used to say Wire was his favorite but they've gone down a few notches - now Beatleas are #1. Here's Bob's list - King Crimson and Genesis are on there but not Yes (because Yes are not good and Bob knows what's good). - www.brooklynvegan.com...
	11:31am northguineahills: Luna!
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: Oh shit the "Yes Album" is on there, I just made a fool of myself!
	11:32am Hubig Pie: One of Mr Dylan's best songs
	👻 11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - makes total sense that Beatles are #1.
	11:33am Dean: Bruford-era Yes is hard to dis. I'm fond of Tales, too. Pretty much the poster child for prog excess.
	11:33am chris_in_space: @Hubig Pie, agreed, and you don't hear this Dylan tune covered much. Sounding great in Dean's hands.
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: @Tim: I saw a different list he made years ago and either "Pink Flag" or "154" was at the top.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): I listened to Rough and Rowdy Ways last week. I was a bit underwhelmed. It's a perfectly listenable and respectable album but it's been hyped as one of Dylan's best. I was expecting something along the lines of Desire or Oh Mercy.
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Dean, have you heard The Wondermints song 'In and Around Greg Lake'?
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - yeah, I remember an interview with Pollard where he said Wire was a major inspiration for fitting 20 songs on an album side.
	11:36am Dean: Brian in UK, I have at least heard of it, and thanks for reminding me of that marvelous title.
	👻 11:37am YETI BOB: "After much deliberation and meditation and listening, I’ve decided that the greatest album of all time is Wire, 154. Yeah. That’s not even a top-20 band, but that’s the greatest album. I listened to it again the other day, and it’s the most intelligent, rewarding-with-repeated-listenings album that I … it just never fails." Uncle Bob, Sep 2014. source: magnetmagazine.com...
	11:39am river: that rube song made my roommate cry. maybe me too almost
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: The Greatest Record Ever Made has not been released yet.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: He's been known to talk about the 4 Ps: Prog, Psych, Punk and Pop.
	11:40am Joe McG: @river: It broke me up the first time I heard it, too. A hell of a good song.
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: the Genesis influence is not too hard to pick out, but I'm having trouble making any musical connection from Yes to GBV
	11:42am Krys O.: @Planet Tyler: Oof! I hadn't heard about the harassment. Dang....
	👻 11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - I'm thinking vocal delivery. Also, it seems like it might have been a big record while growing up.
	11:44am Hubig Pie: Like the vocal stylings of this Cut Worms
	11:45am Stanley: Back from walk and good to see the prog related thread still going.
	👻 11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Prog takes a while, Stanley.
	👻 11:48am YETI BOB: I grew up very punk-influenced (100% Ramones fan) and believed in that whole "Bloated corpse of prog rock must be killed off" idea. But now I understand how absolutely great King Crimson were (and still are!)
	👻 11:50am YETI BOB: I'm much less interested in attitude now, and more interested in how the music actually sounds. I still love the Ramones! But those Sex Pistols records sound pretty bad to me now.
	11:50am Hubig Pie: And a favorite Big Star ⭐ song
	11:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: I had not heard this great version of a true Big Star classic
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: King Crimson are Prog. Well I never.
	👻 11:50am tim from champaign (now washington): It all connects eventually, Yeti.
	👻 11:52am YETI BOB: What I really love is European RIO-style Avant-Prog. The punks wanted to destroy Emerson, Lake and Palmer, but they probably had no idea about Art Zoyd, Aqsaq Maboul, and Univers Zero ...
	👻 11:53am 12539: Joe! Thanks for hosting all the Prog Talk! Be well everyone.
	11:53am Dean: Trust me, punks knew about Art Zoyd, etc.
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): I know what you mean, Yeti. I find the Sex Pistols to be a perfectly decent rock band but nothing as inspirational as the Ramones. Over the years, I've found the first 3 PiL records to be way more inspirational to me than the Sex Pistols.
	11:53am Joe B: love that Cut Worms!
	11:54am Dean: We spent one evening a week listening to KNAC's progressive rock show, another evening to KROQ's Rodney Bingenheimer. (Some of us even listened to Joseph Spencer's Chapel, Court & Countryside.)
	11:54am Joe McG: @Joe B: What an impressive new album!
	11:54am Joe B: is it in the new bin?
	11:54am Stanley: Nick Lowe still cutting it 40-odd years later?
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NickLowe for Prezident
	👻 11:54am YETI BOB: @Dean: Some of them maybe. It took me a while to catch up with that stuff.
	👻 11:55am Miles of Middle Texas: Loved the show Joe.
	11:55am Roberto: I didn't know Nick Lowe lived on my street.
	👻 11:55am YETI BOB: I can credit Fred Frith for introducing me to a lot of the music that I love.
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: Great show again, Joe.
	11:56am Dean: Frith...a monumental musician. I'm still discovering stuff he did.
	11:56am Joe McG: @Roberto: Mine, too! Man, I need a quiet place. Hey, thanks for listening and commenting everyone. It's been fun, as always. Have a great week!
	11:56am Mark Hurst: Great show as always, Joe!
	11:56am Rich in Bay Ridge: Just catching up on the chat and have to chime in that the first time I heard GBV I though it could have been Peter Gabriel. Another time, in a record store, GBV was playing and I thought it might have been John Wetton from King Crimson.
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! Forgot Biden. Vote McGaasko!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: I lot all sense of genres when Speed Garage raised its head.
	11:57am Kramrellim: There's an interview on YouTube with the author of The Show ThatNever Ends and Tom Sharpling. Never knew he was a prog-head.
	11:57am TheLoneliestMonk: this was a good 'un this week. adios, Lo mejor de las suertes, tio jose!
	11:57am Joe B: thanks Joe! tough act to follow!
	11:58am Stanley: Old fart - now that's a genre for ya!
	11:58am ZeeBee: Monday’s and and tuesdays are my days off work and it’s become a regular occurrence to stay in bed for the entirety of this show simply enjoying the tunes and catching up on my rest and reflection. Thank you joe! Have a great day listener friends, see yah on the ravioli board !
	11:59am Dean: There's old fart and old fart. Foghat, Deep Purple, Benny Goodman...these are still relatively fresh old fart. Chapel, Court & Countryside? Now that's really old fart.
	11:59am KWilde: Thx Joe!
	12:00pm Stanley: Bye Joe. Thanks

	9:08am Handy Haversack: Phillippe, David! You made it in under the wire.
	9:08am Buddha of Suburbia: Joe McGasko, I think you have a thing for Klezmer style of music in rock and jazz. This is not the first time I detected some Klezmer funk on your show.
	9:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buenos Boleros !

	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lord Buckley, William F. & Tim Buckley walk into a bar...
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Handy, my knowledge of Muppets is minimal.

	👻 9:20am Marley P. Dogg: Same
	9:20am Handy Haversack: ... bartender says, "Who wants a beltey?"
	9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...bartender laffs - 'I love my job... [points remote] hope you guys like The Muppetts'...
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: RRN63, might only be William F going into a bar, His Lordship preferred something herbal and Tim liked the needle.
	9:23am yerfriendpaul: Never heard the original before. So used to hearing it on A Tribe Called Quest’s tune
	9:23am Joe McG: Tim during the live gigs from the Troubadour in 1969: "Give smack a chance"
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...didn't say what they did there...
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Maybe it was an iron bar. Ouch.
	9:26am BeNowB on the BMX: This song wasn't on 2 drum kicks in and had to turn it up. This beat just has swag! damn son
	9:27am TheLoneliestMonk: wow, this Delvon Lamarr track sure has a Meters feel to it
	9:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Hello! @9:14Tank Top, I think I'm going to see about that Herbie Hancock memoir. Sounds interesting! I have a book on hold for me at the library as we speak that I am planning to pick up today.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 2020 ?? Nailed it.
	9:27am Uncle Michael: Hey, Leroy...your mama's callin' you!
	9:28am David in London: Brian, I toyed with the iron bar gag but didn’t deploy it in the end. Glad you went for it.
	9:28am Joe McG: @Monk: Totally! A couple of years ago I had these guys on the show. Check out that archive when you get a chance, it smokes.
	9:28am Cal Zone!: Yes to Loneliest Monk....I flinched and thought it was Meters too!
	9:29am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac sounds good. some tasty funk going on. 'member the date?
	9:29am Fuzzy: 2020? Man this is some retro goodness!
	9:29am Uncle Michael: I think I should just buy everything that comes out on Colemine.
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn you FMU - I'm not supposed to be somebody who dances...must you challenge every preconception...
	9:33am Buddha of Suburbia: Revolution Rabbit Nov 63! Just pretend you're on American Bandstand and you're hamming it up for the close up camera.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no - that's exactly the wrong advice :D ...
	9:39am Quack: Can't post comments .. Android version of this app sucks
	9:40am Handy Haversack: It's a good bug!
	9:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Oooh I am looking forward to this jangly set!
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Rache!
	9:42am Roberto: If there is such a thing as REMesque, this is it.
	9:42am MFlynn: Thanks Joe. Love those Jangly guitars, always will.
	9:42am Quack: comments are posting again randomly now... my friend who uses iphone never has these problems on here
	9:43am Handy Haversack: I hope Knormalish is listening, too, Rache.
	9:43am pgalub: An embarrassment of Rickenbackers! Nice one Joe! (P.S. Happy Birthday yesterday to Mitch Easter!)
	9:43am Cal Zone!: Absolute Grey were from Rockin Rochester NY! (On Strum n Thrum Comp).
	9:43am Rachel Bo Bachel: Handy it’s all about the Rickenbacker baby!!!
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jamming with Rawkists in one's youth ...'David wishes he had a Rickenbacher' - har har ...damn right I do.
	9:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Pgalub it’s a sound I can never get tired of- REM is magic to me! So smart, so beautiful
	9:45am Martinibomb: Gooood Morning Joe!
	9:45am Quack: anyone else in the comment board have problems posting with the Android version of the WFMU app?
	9:45am Santos L Halper: Ah, thanks for the Tractor Joe!
	9:46am Martinibomb: @Quack I did run into an odd problem where it kept signing me out?? which looks like what it's doing to you?
	9:46am Cal Zone!: I have lots of problems with the Android App (frequent crashes)...but commenting is not one of them.
	9:46am Jon: iOS is working well, Quack
	9:46am Jon: I know that doesn’t help you. Sorry.
	9:47am pgalub: Mark Mulcahy ftw! ;)
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Testing. 🥪🍗📻
	9:48am Joe McG: Hey Pete! You could jangle right along with this batch!
	9:49am Quack: @Martininibomb. doesn't sign me out, in fact the Android version doesn't have a way to sign in, I just have to retype my name in everytime I post which gets annoying. my friend using iphone can sign in, but I don't have the option. it's weird. otherwise, posting doesn't always want to work
	9:49am pgalub: Indeed, I am! ;)
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I only got a tracFone - no worse than usual...
	9:50am Mike S.: pgalub! been a long time since we traded shirts in the middle of a show;)
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I don need to use it much anymore (no commute!) but a while back I switched to the WoofMoo app because the regular app seemed to wedge and stop playing every so often.
	9:51am pgalub: Mike S! Haha! I got mine just last week! Good stuff!
	9:52am Hubig Pie: Happy jingle jangle mornin'
	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "don't"....man, I need a new keyboard.
	9:52am Will: I wonder when the Jangle Pop UK compilation will come out. Spearheaded by the Smiths, of course!
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course long had Beatles & bYRdS in my heart before REM became synonymous with bitterwsweet Leaving Home & the rise of Alt out of College Radio...
	9:53am Brian in garden: McGuinn first turned my head in '65 but there might be a case for the Searchers being the first to jangle.
	9:55am Cal Zone!: I'm hoping that somebody is working on an updated WFMU Android app. One that doesnt crash and syncs with Android Auto so that I can see playlist when driving. Joe, do you know if anything is in the works?
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure. Well McGuinn makes the point The Beatles were already there. George's 12-String on 'Hard Day's Night' - a major highlight of the 2009 Remasters...
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: mornin, troops
	9:56am Joe McG: @Will: I feel that the UK jangle has been better compiled already than the US version. @Cal Zone!: I'll run it up the flagpole after the show!
	9:58am Cal Zone!: TY Joe!
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Rev. Another SPOXX morning, but I was able to field it. I happily relinquish the duty to its true practitioner, though!
	10:00am Planet Tyler: Downy's voice is reminding me of Roddy Frame
	10:00am Handy Haversack: Guadalcanal Diary! Nice, Joe!
	10:01am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Joe, your show is a real treat. Thanks for taking me back to memories of my high school mixtapes.
	10:02am Joe McG: You bet, Jeff! They used to call this "college rock" back then since only college station played it.
	10:03am egould310: So very jangly. Great way to wake up. Good morning from Seattle.
	10:04am Jeff formerly from Rahway: @Joe when I got my drivers license in 1987 I drove my parents Olds from Rahway to Trenton to see Miracle Legion play a mostly empty City Gardens.
	10:04am luka: {butthead voice} heh heh. college music.
	10:05am Martinibomb: @quack that's what happened to me yesterday but right now it's working fine?
	10:06am Phillippe Bastille: Very much enjoying this, Joe
	10:06am Fuzzy: Cappin' it off with Pretty Persuasion, perhaps? That would be nice.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strawberries are growing in my garden ...it's winter time.
	10:07am Joe McG: I could play this stuff all day, but I'll just spin one more and we'll get out of college...maybe go see the dentist.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: It's been a great set, Joe. Thanks for the jangles. Ooo, "Burning Down"!
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After all - the dentist is where The Beatles got dosed.
	10:08am efd: Clearly I need to get that Strom & Thrum box set, if it's not sold out already.
	👻 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Music for teeth! 🦷
	10:09am Rachel Bo Bachel: The real deal!! <3 <3
	10:09am Jeff formerly from Rahway: No Grapes of Wrath?
	10:09am Jeff Golick: The Strom Thurm set would be a lot less fun to listen to.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Rachel: Yeah, no one really did this style better than these boys. @Jeff: I thought about it, but they're Canadian!
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still in awe of what Stipe did.
	10:10am Baja Joe: Hi Joe. Thanks for the good R.E.M. Jangly as all heck!
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Gah! Bad news, efd.
	10:12am efd: looks like the CD version is still available on the Captured Tracks site, I'm not that picky.
	10:12am efd: the Omnian site, I should say.
	10:13am pgalub: The Buck stops here. Doh!
	10:14am David in London: Joe, I dub thee ‘Mr Yo Jangles’.
	10:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love Dead Letter Office. Has that cool cover of "Toys In The Attic"
	10:16am Jeff Golick: The REM ep of Song Exploder on Netflix is real entertaining.
	10:17am efd: haha, Strum and Thrum obvs!
	10:18am Joe McG: @Jeff: First time all 4 original members talking about R.E.M. stuff!
	10:19am Fuzzy: Sturm und Twang
	10:19am pgalub: Strum Thrumond!
	10:19am Jason from Houston: Just watched Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale last week. If you need a film about white folks and cannibalism post-Rockefeller...
	10:20am Joe McG: @Jason: And who doesn't? ;)
	10:22am Jason from Houston: Hahaha... Special kind of anthropology there.
	10:23am djsheilab: That Hen Ogledd was most intriguing! In a good way.
	10:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of Wyatt, I recently read a book on the history of prog rock. Holy smokes, the egos!! The excess!! Kinda fun.
	10:25am Joe McG: @SheilaB: It's really a very nice pop song, I think!
	10:26am Handy Haversack: What book, Woods?
	10:26am Rich in Bristol: It's thanks to the BBC's Marc Riley that I was introduced to the brilliant Richard Dawson. I'm thoroughly pleased to hear him on your show, too, Joe.
	👻 10:27am 12539: ("prog rock" and "excess" - together?!)
	10:27am βrian: Why do you suppose they call them proglodytes?
	10:28am Joe McG: @Rich: I think he's just terrific! "Peasant" knocked my socks off.
	10:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy The Show That Never Ends
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: Czesław Niemen alert!
	10:35am Handy Haversack: Hard to resist a book that mentions Marillion in the marketing copy, Woods. Hard for me, at any rate.
	10:39am miniteeny: Housemartins excellent!!
	10:39am Mark Hurst: Thanks for playing this, Joe! Been forever since I've heard it.
	10:39am Bootsie: Love, love, LOVE this Housemartins track!
	10:39am paul: First time I've ever heard the Housemartins on the radio. My favorite band at the time.
	10:40am Bootsie: Trivia: Fatboy Slim was their bassist.
	10:41am Joe McG: Breathless song! Hi, Mark!
	10:41am βrian: As a kid, I was always fascinated by purple martins and their fancy houses.
	10:42am Stanley: Punk rock was propelled into existence by the excesses of prog. I believe it was Rick Wakeman's King Arthur on ice at Wembly Arena in 1975 that did it.
	10:42am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:43am Baja Joe: That tune by Star Feminine Band was particularly excellent, I must say.
	10:43am Bootsie: Dolly!
	10:43am Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	10:44am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:44am Handy Haversack: Only thirty years before Green Day on Broadway, Stanley.
	10:45am Joe McG: @Stanley: I would pay almost any price to see King Arthur on ice!
	10:45am suzyhotrod: Dolly! Thanks J McG.
	10:45am Jason from Houston: What a quiet little ripper...
	10:47am Dean: The only overt mockery of prog rock I can think of in punk is the the Germs' "No God," which starts out with the introductory lick from Yes's "Roundabout," then takes off in another direction entirely.
	10:48am Joe McG: Suzy, I envy your roller disco fun!
	10:48am JG: Cool song. Loving/hating it, as I drank too much wine last night
	10:48am Jason from Houston: Fine selections, Joe McG...
	10:50am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, Jason!
	10:51am Dennis Diken: hey Joe - diggin'! jumping in and out today, have a ball!
	👻 10:51am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Joe and very good buddies!
	10:51am Joe McG: Love to hear that, Dennis!
	10:52am Planet Tyler: "Hey window pain do you remember?" lol
	10:53am KWilde: Reminds me of Maxwell House jingle
	10:54am Krys O.: YES! Those chiming guitars always boost my mood.
	10:54am pgalub: ;)
	10:54am Roberto: DEEE BEEEZ
	10:54am Ike: Hi all. Did someone on FMU used to play this Eruption as a slow 45 for bed music? SM Ken maybe? It sounds too fast now so that's why I wonder if somebody repeatedly played it at a slow speed before.
	10:54am Hubig Pie: Ooo, more jingles
	10:55am egould310: Jangly guitars again. Thanks Joe!
	👻 10:55am Brian in UK: Joe, here is a recent article on Rick Wakeman's King Arthur extravaganza. www.vanityfair.com...
	10:55am Stanley: Haha Handy. The 'punk rock band' Green Day. Joe !!?
	10:57am Joe McG: @egould: Wow, yeah, I'm really in a jangly mood today. @Brian: I think that's my favorite article of the entire year.
	10:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy I got the book because there are some prog bands that I don't know much about (Soft Machine for one). Some of it was depressing...seeing the record companies pushing various incarnations of Yes to make fairly dull music.
	10:58am Krys O.: Was a huge fan of Rick Wakeman back in the day. Listened to Six Wives of Henry VIII and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Haven't heard them in many decades.
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): Last week I got a Matt Sweeney/Bonnie Prince Billie cardstock flexi sent to me in the mail. It showed up out of nowhere. It was the coolest unexpected mail I've received in a long time. Did this show up in anyone else's mailbox?
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: wrong speed?
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O - There's a great doc on Live at Leeds...Wakeman was hilarious and super enthusiastic in it.
	👻 11:00am 12539: Show 'em what freedom is, Joe!
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: or is it just my internet running slow?
	11:01am David in London: Has Staysh hijacked Surface Noise?
	11:01am Buddha of Suburbia: See you guys later! Great show Joe! Have a good one everyone!!
	11:02am Handy Haversack: Steering into the skid, Joe! I approve! L8r, Boodz!
	11:02am Dean: Bill Bruford's autobiography is a good read for background about Yes. Saw Wakeman's King Arthur schtick at Anaheim in '75 (no skating). Opening act was Savoy Brown.
	11:02am JG: @ Brian that Rick Wakeman article is gonna be fun to read later. Unless I read it now and don't do the work I'mm supposed to be doing
	11:02am Krys O.: @WoodsOFNH (now Maine): Thanks!
	11:03am Hopey Sockmonkey: I also got the UK version of Repercussion because it also came with a cassette copy of the album.
	11:03am Buddha of Suburbia: Handu! Hope you are feeling okay. I thought I saw you mention a cold coming on on Wake. Oh and Knormalish just got back from Maine last night. She was there with a friend putting on siding on a house. We plan to meet up when she comes through here in a week or two.
	11:04am Buddha of Suburbia: I meant Handy! LOL!
	11:04am miniteeny: New Cut Road by Bobby Bare - great song
	11:05am ?: You played Pearly Gates Free so it could help me as I go to the hospital soon to help my bf decide to get a trach or die in the hospital. I woke up to it.
	11:06am Mike B: By my estimation Neverland (and the DBs of course) is on the Mount Rushmore of Jangle
	11:07am David in London: Happy Hour was an absolute smash hit here. Every student across the land had to own a copy by law or face prosecution.
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign (now washington): Billy Jam's show last Friday was particularly inspired.
	11:08am Handy Haversack: @Woods, about the book, my proggiest friend says that he also really "liked Macan's Rocking the Classics better, but that one's UK prog specific and much more music-theory-nerdy."
	11:09am Mark Hurst: Talking about a Studs Terkel-like book tonight on Techtonic (interviews with various workers inside Silicon Valley).
	11:10am WFMU listener john: Hello fellow listeners
	👻 11:10am tim from champaign (now washington): Sounds purrfect, Joe!
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Depends on how music nerdy it is. I'm a musician but I recently read a book about Pat Metheny's ECM years and it wasted a pile of text completely taking apart song structures, key changes, modes, etc. Not what I was there for.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: I'll rouse the brood, Joe, and direct their attention Surface Noise-ward. Gonna head out on a walk. Absolute smashing show today, Joe, if I don't make it back before the end. Thanks so much! Be well, Yippers. Hope to catch some of you at the Next Joe Up's.
	11:11am Joe McG: Ah, cool, Mark, thanks for checking in!
	11:13am Mark: Happy Hour was a big song on alternative radio - WLIR
	11:14am Joe McG: @Mark: For college kids every hour is happy hour!
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: kiggy <3
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Bet he does not mention, a wet nose being stuck in your ear at 5am demanding food. The cat that is!
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: my cat's breath smells like catfood
	11:15am Joe McG: @RR63: Ha ha, time to brush those choppers.

	11:16am Planet Tyler: Mark Kozelek is in #MeToo trouble, sadly
	11:18am Joe McG: @PT: He writes nice songs about cats, anyway.
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Cat food breath is better than cat box breath
	11:19am Rich in Bristol: Yay! I love Advance Base!
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Was it is Hill Street Blues the plains clothes cop used to call people; dog breath.
	11:21am Rachel Bo Bachel: Whoa this guy sounds a bunch like that Cassiotone for the Painfully Alone fellow
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): There was an autobiography from Paul Rutherford a few years back. I didn't even bother. I don't think I could have handled it. Mike and the Mechanics.
	11:21am Joe McG: @RBR: Same fellow!
	11:21am Planet Tyler: @Joe - and I still love Red House Painters...
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian in UK. Hahaha! Yeah, I think the character's name was Balco or something like that.
	11:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ah! No wonder then! :D
	11:23am Dean: Mike Rutherford? No relation to trombone player Paul, is there?
	11:23am βrian: Somehow reminds me of Karen Dalton.
	11:24am Rich in Bristol: Advance Base (Casiotone at the time) played Bristol quite a few years ago. We learned from him that night (via a re-telling of a story his mother told him) about how John Fogerty doesn't own any of his own Creedence songs.
	11:24am Dean: The living years / Mike Rutherford. London : Constable, 2014.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Not Progressive. Not Rock. Noodling.
	11:26am Krys O.: @Planet Tyler: I agree with you about RHP.
	11:26am Dean: Holy Roman Empire...
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: We have a wet Beagle back from his walk. Ah, wet dog smell.
	11:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: Just googled him- he’s from the town where I was born! Yes Rich isn’t that sad?
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign (now washington): I saw Bob Pollard's list of top 50 records he submitted to rolling stone. There was lots of Yes, Genesis and King Crimson on it. Somehow that makes perfect sense.
	11:29am Planet Tyler: @Krys, yeah good stuff. Too bad he's a f'ing douche
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: @tim: He used to say Wire was his favorite but they've gone down a few notches - now Beatleas are #1. Here's Bob's list - King Crimson and Genesis are on there but not Yes (because Yes are not good and Bob knows what's good). - www.brooklynvegan.com...
	11:31am northguineahills: Luna!
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: Oh shit the "Yes Album" is on there, I just made a fool of myself!
	11:32am Hubig Pie: One of Mr Dylan's best songs
	👻 11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - makes total sense that Beatles are #1.
	11:33am Dean: Bruford-era Yes is hard to dis. I'm fond of Tales, too. Pretty much the poster child for prog excess.
	11:33am chris_in_space: @Hubig Pie, agreed, and you don't hear this Dylan tune covered much. Sounding great in Dean's hands.
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: @Tim: I saw a different list he made years ago and either "Pink Flag" or "154" was at the top.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): I listened to Rough and Rowdy Ways last week. I was a bit underwhelmed. It's a perfectly listenable and respectable album but it's been hyped as one of Dylan's best. I was expecting something along the lines of Desire or Oh Mercy.
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Dean, have you heard The Wondermints song 'In and Around Greg Lake'?
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - yeah, I remember an interview with Pollard where he said Wire was a major inspiration for fitting 20 songs on an album side.
	11:36am Dean: Brian in UK, I have at least heard of it, and thanks for reminding me of that marvelous title.
	👻 11:37am YETI BOB: "After much deliberation and meditation and listening, I’ve decided that the greatest album of all time is Wire, 154. Yeah. That’s not even a top-20 band, but that’s the greatest album. I listened to it again the other day, and it’s the most intelligent, rewarding-with-repeated-listenings album that I … it just never fails." Uncle Bob, Sep 2014. source: magnetmagazine.com...
	11:39am river: that rube song made my roommate cry. maybe me too almost
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: The Greatest Record Ever Made has not been released yet.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: He's been known to talk about the 4 Ps: Prog, Psych, Punk and Pop.
	11:40am Joe McG: @river: It broke me up the first time I heard it, too. A hell of a good song.
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: the Genesis influence is not too hard to pick out, but I'm having trouble making any musical connection from Yes to GBV
	11:42am Krys O.: @Planet Tyler: Oof! I hadn't heard about the harassment. Dang....
	👻 11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - I'm thinking vocal delivery. Also, it seems like it might have been a big record while growing up.
	11:44am Hubig Pie: Like the vocal stylings of this Cut Worms
	11:45am Stanley: Back from walk and good to see the prog related thread still going.
	👻 11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Prog takes a while, Stanley.
	👻 11:48am YETI BOB: I grew up very punk-influenced (100% Ramones fan) and believed in that whole "Bloated corpse of prog rock must be killed off" idea. But now I understand how absolutely great King Crimson were (and still are!)
	👻 11:50am YETI BOB: I'm much less interested in attitude now, and more interested in how the music actually sounds. I still love the Ramones! But those Sex Pistols records sound pretty bad to me now.
	11:50am Hubig Pie: And a favorite Big Star ⭐ song
	11:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: I had not heard this great version of a true Big Star classic
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: King Crimson are Prog. Well I never.
	👻 11:50am tim from champaign (now washington): It all connects eventually, Yeti.
	👻 11:52am YETI BOB: What I really love is European RIO-style Avant-Prog. The punks wanted to destroy Emerson, Lake and Palmer, but they probably had no idea about Art Zoyd, Aqsaq Maboul, and Univers Zero ...
	👻 11:53am 12539: Joe! Thanks for hosting all the Prog Talk! Be well everyone.
	11:53am Dean: Trust me, punks knew about Art Zoyd, etc.
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): I know what you mean, Yeti. I find the Sex Pistols to be a perfectly decent rock band but nothing as inspirational as the Ramones. Over the years, I've found the first 3 PiL records to be way more inspirational to me than the Sex Pistols.
	11:53am Joe B: love that Cut Worms!
	11:54am Dean: We spent one evening a week listening to KNAC's progressive rock show, another evening to KROQ's Rodney Bingenheimer. (Some of us even listened to Joseph Spencer's Chapel, Court & Countryside.)
	11:54am Joe McG: @Joe B: What an impressive new album!
	11:54am Joe B: is it in the new bin?
	11:54am Stanley: Nick Lowe still cutting it 40-odd years later?
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NickLowe for Prezident
	👻 11:54am YETI BOB: @Dean: Some of them maybe. It took me a while to catch up with that stuff.
	👻 11:55am Miles of Middle Texas: Loved the show Joe.
	11:55am Roberto: I didn't know Nick Lowe lived on my street.
	👻 11:55am YETI BOB: I can credit Fred Frith for introducing me to a lot of the music that I love.
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: Great show again, Joe.
	11:56am Dean: Frith...a monumental musician. I'm still discovering stuff he did.
	11:56am Joe McG: @Roberto: Mine, too! Man, I need a quiet place. Hey, thanks for listening and commenting everyone. It's been fun, as always. Have a great week!
	11:56am Mark Hurst: Great show as always, Joe!
	11:56am Rich in Bay Ridge: Just catching up on the chat and have to chime in that the first time I heard GBV I though it could have been Peter Gabriel. Another time, in a record store, GBV was playing and I thought it might have been John Wetton from King Crimson.
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! Forgot Biden. Vote McGaasko!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: I lot all sense of genres when Speed Garage raised its head.
	11:57am Kramrellim: There's an interview on YouTube with the author of The Show ThatNever Ends and Tom Sharpling. Never knew he was a prog-head.
	11:57am TheLoneliestMonk: this was a good 'un this week. adios, Lo mejor de las suertes, tio jose!
	11:57am Joe B: thanks Joe! tough act to follow!
	11:58am Stanley: Old fart - now that's a genre for ya!
	11:58am ZeeBee: Monday’s and and tuesdays are my days off work and it’s become a regular occurrence to stay in bed for the entirety of this show simply enjoying the tunes and catching up on my rest and reflection. Thank you joe! Have a great day listener friends, see yah on the ravioli board !
	11:59am Dean: There's old fart and old fart. Foghat, Deep Purple, Benny Goodman...these are still relatively fresh old fart. Chapel, Court & Countryside? Now that's really old fart.
	11:59am KWilde: Thx Joe!
	12:00pm Stanley: Bye Joe. Thanks
