Yo Spod. How goes it pal?

🎸

♥ 12:27pm tim from champaign (now washington):

The Detroit Cobras were/are so cool. They were the last band I saw where the band members actually scared me while on stage.

Hellooooo Joe! We need you now, more than ever. XOXOXO

♥ 12:33pm David (in London):

Spod, that's good, ride that relaxation. Well, other than fighting the tedium of Lockdown 3.0, I'm AOK. Trying to use the time profitably to get stuff done.

12:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

You can't stop The People's Champ, you can't even contain him!

♥ 12:33pm Roberto:

My WFMU tees always seem to get a thumbs up at greenmarkets on the UWS.

🎸

♥ 12:34pm Frank In Queens:

This is kinda the only track off of "Styles" that I've really been into. I've been getting a big "solo album" vibe off the rest of the tunes.

12:34pm ratty:

hungry freaks, baby

♥ 12:34pm Son Of Pantz:

Love this GBV album so much.

12:35pm hifivicky:

so today marks one year since i've seen live music. the last band I saw before lockdown was OLDEN YOLK at rough trade on this day one year ago. 😢

♥ 12:35pm David (in London):

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire The People's Champ.

🎸

♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack:

Nice name check to Hoboken Jack on Almost Famous this morning, Joe!

♥ 12:35pm Threemoons:

Sigh. Getting close to my one year anniversary for last live gig also...Heilung opening night in NYC.

12:36pm Joe B:

ha glad you dug that handy! true story!

🎸

♥ 12:38pm tim from champaign (now washington):

That was about the smoothest goddamn transition I ever hears between GBV and Bette Smith. Right on the beat!

🎸

♥ 12:38pm McGroovey:

During Joe's show, when you said you were going to play the Krayolas track, I started replying with a prediction you'd also play a new GBV track, but I decided that was a prosperous prediction.

12:38pm Leslie Day:

Hey Joe... thanks for the shout out! Back atcha...Hope you’re well.😺

12:40pm morphe':

Bummer ....I forgot my air guitar... I thought it was in the air guitar sac but I did not notice the airy difference of the air guitar sac with or without the air guitar ...Bummer

🎸

♥ 12:41pm tim from champaign (now washington):

What a cover!

12:41pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Thanks for getting us through another Monday, Joe!

12:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Barker & Artley very early Eno-esque.

12:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Ah, it's an Eno song. I am either really smart or really dumb. The jury is and continues to remain out.

🎸

♥ 12:43pm McGroovey:

During Joe McGasko's show, I meant

12:44pm morphe':

Thanks Joe for bringing us down on an Eno-Esque cover ...
Robert Wyatt for the landing???

12:44pm Joe B:

juke box jury!

♥ 12:45pm David (in London):

I was once in a supermarket on the Kilburn High Road at lunchtime with a colleague. Brian Eno was in the next aisle, and as he passed us she looked up and said "Oh, hi Brian." I was absolutely stunned. I said "How the Hell do you know Brian Eno?" "He's my neighbour" she said. She was unware that he was a musician.

12:45pm morphe':

Joe B:
juke box jury!

Worse : WFMU Posse Committus(sp?)

🎸

♥ 12:45pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Todd-o-phonic - That's my life story. It's like that guy on Rex's show..."I'm not hi-brow, I'm not low-brow. I'm no brow!"

12:47pm Dennis Diken:

go Joe, go! hey all! gonna be duckin' in and out today, have fun!

♥ 12:49pm Son Of Pantz:

He's so mean he makes medicine sick. Go Joe!

🎸 ♥ 12:50pm jimbrux:

Well the dude from the Cribs sure did sound like Thurston Moore on that last one... (cool story @David !)

♥ 12:53pm Son Of Pantz:

@tim from champaign Are you familiar with a band called Jumpsuit out of Chicago?

🎸

♥ 12:53pm Handy Haversack:

Dang it, missed the Eno cover while making lunch! Kate's teaching so I couldn't put on the bathroom boombox.

12:56pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Wait wasn’t 30 years ago something like 1971?

🎸

♥ 12:56pm medson:

Yikes. I almost don’t want to hear what’s turning 30. ;)

12:59pm Andres:

There are so many books, movies and music that we have forgotten after 30 years. If we are still listening to certain music after that much time I think it is much less about nostalgia than the fact that it is very good and in this case rocks!

🎸

♥ 12:59pm Handy Haversack:

Hah, Jeff, I was having a similar thought! "So like Soft Cell?"

♥ 1:00pm Crudbringer:

Tuning in at last. There's not gonna be a motivational speaker, is there?

🎸 ♥ 1:04pm John L:

Trying to predict what might come next. Perhaps something off of "Girlfriend" by Matthew Sweet?

♥ 1:05pm spodiodi:

yes

🎸

♥ 1:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

@Andres I read recently somebody referring to nostalgia as a "toxic emotion." I just don't get that. If playing Patti Smith's Easter reminds me of what it was like to be 17 again...what's the harm?

🎸

♥ 1:05pm Handy Haversack:

"Fly Me Courageous"?

♥ 1:06pm spodiodi:

Dinosaur Jr. ftw

1:06pm Joe B:

i had that in my list handy but opted not, didn't want to get too into this

1:07pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Ugh, I’m old.

1:08pm hifivicky:

haha you know you're old when later period Dino Jr is 30 sheesh

🎸

♥ 1:09pm Handy Haversack:

It's OK, Joe. I know you like it!

You wear it well, Dungaroos K!

Did Sonic Youth skip 1991 between Daydream and Dirty?

Can /Between Daydream and Dirty/ be the title of my memoir?

1:10pm Andres:

Woods: I think the origins of nostalgia go back to WW1 and shell shocked soldiers longing to be home. That was a problem apparently!

1:10pm Joe B:

goo was 90 dirty 92

🎸

♥ 1:11pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Gosh Material Issue was all over Chicago commercial radio in 1991.

♥ 1:13pm Carmichael:

Was that a Grass Roots cover I heard?

🎸

♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack:

/Between Goo and Dirty/ doesn't seem like it's gonna move as many units.

So to speak!

♥ 1:14pm Hams:

jane!

♥ 1:14pm Rob W:

Well here's one reason some folks might not feel too nostalgic for '91: By a certain measure, 1991 began the golden age of the CD: It's the year CDs passed cassettes to become the highest-selling format in the US for commercial recordings. (Cassettes had already surpassed vinyl a few years earlier; vinyl was nearing its nadir, where it was to remain until the recent limited revival of vinyl.) Sources: www.aei.org... and kodakdigitizing.com... .

🎸

♥ 1:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

@Joe B: I remember picking up Dirty on a lunch break from work. Then I'm looking at the photos at my desk and I'm thinking "WTF?!!" Ha!

1:15pm Joe B:

having just moved, i will say i don't give a shit about vinyl anymore

🎸

♥ 1:16pm medson:

Worst part of moving for sure. Sucks.

🎸 ♥ 1:16pm John L:

God, this time of year in 1991 there was a recession, the first Gulf War was ramping up and I was living in Baltimore, working the overnight shift in an adult video arcade. A real low point.

♥ 1:16pm Hubig Pie:

I think my cassette player went kaput in 1991

🎸

♥ 1:17pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

@Rob W I was already shedding vinyl by the dozen in 1991. I lived in a college dorm room at the time and a turntable and LPs just took up too much damn space!

🎸

♥ 1:17pm Krys O.:

@Joe: I've moved large collections of vinyl including helping to move FMU's library from Froeberg to the Avatar House. Worse than bricks.

🎸

♥ 1:17pm Mike From Brooklyn:

A late hello Joe, skeletons, fellow listeners and commenters!

1:18pm Squeaky Dave:

Fired up! Yeah, right on Joe!

🎸

♥ 1:18pm Handy Haversack:

Turn it up, Joe!

🎸

♥ 1:19pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Son of Pantz @12:53 - I haven't heard of them.

1:19pm Andres:

I too was fired up by the salute to ‘91!

♥ 1:20pm Carmichael:

Apropos of nothing, today marks the 300th day of my lockdown ...

🎸

♥ 1:20pm Mike Sin:

Regarding my favorite "popular" album of 1991, I guess it would have to be "Bandwagonesque" by Teenage Fanclub

1:20pm Alex C. in DC:

Speaking of Billy Childish, Joe, you asked about Barker & Artley, saying you thought they were from Canada? Looks like Barker is Jon Barker who was in Billy Childish's Buff Medways, Hartley is Daryl Artley. They're based in Medway, in Kent, England. Here's Artley's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/jon.barker.771

1:20pm BnowB OnSomeShit:

Sonic Youth at Maxwells would get pretty crazy. My fav show there was prob The Dirt Bombs and Jay Reatard.

1:21pm BnowB OnSomeShit:

Jay opened for the dirt bombs ..

1:21pm Joe B:

thanks alex!

🎸

♥ 1:22pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

High Water Marks=my favorite record of 2020!

🎸 ♥ 1:22pm David Shortell:

I saw the Feelies at the Green Parrot in Neptune.

🎸

♥ 1:23pm tim from champaign (now washington):

BnowB - that sounds like a great show. The Dirtbombs were my most seen band between the late 90s -mid00s.

1:23pm hifivicky:

@jeff formerly rahway
SAME! they are sofa king great and I learned about them here from Joe B!

1:24pm BnowB OnSomeShit:

Mick Collins!

1:24pm Andres:

Rob W: I wore out most of my cassettes. As for my 20-30 yr old CDs, now I need to worry about digital rot!

🎸

♥ 1:24pm Mike From Brooklyn:

Love The Bats! Thanks Joe!

🎸

♥ 1:24pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Did Heavens to Murgatroid Already come out in 1991? That's a classic.

♥ 1:24pm Alvy Singer:

Hi Joe. My 1991 pick would be Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge by Mudhoney.

♥ 1:25pm Son Of Pantz:

@tim from champaign You might recognize this if you went to any Cubs games around 2015-2016 www.youtube.com...

♥ 1:26pm chickfactor10:

What a great set. Perfect after the craziness of last week. Thanks. xo

🎸

♥ 1:26pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Alvy - That's mine too. And my all time favorite Mudhoney record.

🎸

♥ 1:27pm Handy Haversack:

Alvy Singer, good call!

1:27pm hifivicky:

that Bats record is my #2 favorite for 2020!

🎸

♥ 1:29pm OnTheTrain:

Afternoon Joe

🎸

♥ 1:29pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Son of Pantz - thanks for the link! I'll check it out. My one and only time at Wrigley was in 1987. I didn't realize until I moved to Illinois that the Sox are the Peoples' Team and the Cubbies are the elites' team.

♥ 1:34pm Son Of Pantz:

My only visit to Wrigley was in the 90's and I was in the Bleacher Bums section. What a bunch of degenerates hardly interested in the game at all. It was fun.

1:35pm Slaboch:

Filed Under: Better Late Than Never...forgot to mention how much we enjoyed your tribute to Billy & Norton a couple of weeks ago on the rock n' soul stream! Sounding great this afternoon too!

1:36pm morphe':

Doing a BBC News/Joe B Mash up - it is flowing well...

♥ 1:37pm spodiodi:

🎸

♥ 1:42pm Handy Haversack:

Anyone assembled here know what happened with the band Novella? Still together? No releases since 2017.

♥ 1:42pm spodiodi:

hoping to hear more here, Joe B.!

1:46pm Squeaky Dave:

Holy moly, Nude Party singer sounds a little like Gram Parsons.

🎸

♥ 1:48pm medson:

Love songs about drunks.

♥ 1:48pm Hubig Pie:

Gram Parsons wore Nudie Suits

1:48pm kev:

Tim Lee 3 thanks, after you played them last week I got in contact and bought a couple of records. support an artist

🎸

♥ 1:49pm tim from champaign (now washington):

And John Entwistle wore sansabelt pants.

🎸

♥ 1:50pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

@medson One of my faves is Joe Ely's "Everybody Got Hammered"

1:54pm ww:

Joe, with your luck, some person who finds your shaver charger will try to sell it back to you on eBay. Sigh. Hang in there man. You are a 2021 godsend.

1:56pm dB:

Dead air

🎸

♥ 1:57pm Handy Haversack:

And Richard Thompson, "God Loves a Drunk."

1:59pm Joey joe joe:

All good ones.

🎸

♥ 2:01pm Handy Haversack:

The air, it lives!

🎸

♥ 2:04pm Stevel:

In agreement re. Chris Isaak. Prolific and damned good.

🎸

♥ 2:07pm Handy Haversack:

Little /Wild at Heart/ allusion from Tom?

2:08pm edgar:

Beautiful. Any chance we could hear some freedy johnston Joe?

♥ 2:09pm Michael Shelley:

Agree- Chris Isaak is underappreciated. Great singer and songwriter.

2:14pm hifivicky:

that Tom Petty track was an unexpected delight. really great show today!

♥ 2:14pm Son Of Pantz:

Trump to hold press conf today @ 3;30. Could he be resigning in exchange for a pardon?

2:15pm Joe B:

no way

♥ 2:15pm spodiodi:

could be another call of the cleti

2:15pm Joe B:

he will cry about twitter. always the fucking victim

♥ 2:16pm Son Of Pantz:

If he starts with that BS again they should drop the feed off of every major network.

2:16pm McGroovey:

Just as much chance that Trump will double down on the crazy as resign. Then again, he could resign AND double down on the crazy, I suppose.

🎸

♥ 2:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

Maybe he will express concern for the NJ rep who tested positive because she was stuck in a room with a bunch of Rs who refused to wear a mask. Nah!!

2:17pm Joe B:

issuing a call to arms to his thugs for jan 20

2:17pm Andres:

Big announcement. Clearance sale on Trump steaks.

♥ 2:17pm Son Of Pantz:

He's still fundraising off the conspiracy theories. It has to be the single most profitable grift in history.

🎸

♥ 2:18pm Mike Sin:

That Monophonics album... Such a bright spot in an excruciating year!

🎸

♥ 2:18pm tim from champaign (now washington):

I'm looking forward to Techtonic this afternoon. I'd like to hear Mark's thoughts on the social media companies ass saving measure.

🎸

♥ 2:18pm OnTheTrain:

Son Of Pantz: +1 they should get the loony toons archives ready to play as soon as he starts .

2:19pm Sylvia's Mother:

Trump is too stupid to resign!

🎸

♥ 2:19pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Maybe he wants to tell us that there's a number of open tee times at his golf courses.

2:19pm Joey joe joe:

Not to give Trump a pass on anything but I think worst presidential advisor of all time has to be Rudy G., and I doubt it’s close. Helped get him impeached twice in 4 years by feeding/agreeing on dumb ass conspiracy theories.

🎸

♥ 2:19pm Frank In Queens:

Bevacqua!

🎸

♥ 2:20pm Handy Haversack:

tim, I was just looking to see if Mark had announced a topic. Yes, you gotta figure we get to spend a good chunk of the hour excoriating the PR moves of companies that have based their money making on hate speech and lies just has much as Trump has.

RIP, Tommy Lasorda!

🎸

♥ 2:20pm tim from champaign (now washington):

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

♥ 2:20pm Steve from Dunwoody:

The best! Farewell
Tommy RIP!

♥ 2:20pm spodiodi:

that was my first thought, Joe B.@2:17

2:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

I remember in the 80's when The Giants ran promo for a home series against The Dodgers by announcing "Come see Lasorda and his meatballs".

🎸

♥ 2:21pm Lizardner Dave !:

Oh Tommy, you son-disowning homophobe, we'll miss you!

🎸

♥ 2:22pm Handy Haversack:

Good that the dump-button work was already done in that Lasorda clip. Joe'd wear his finger to the bone!

♥ 2:22pm spodiodi:

haha, TopT!

🎸

♥ 2:22pm Handy Haversack:

Yeah, there sure is that, Lizardner Dave.

🎸 ♥ 2:22pm Hackensack Slim:

Lasorda giving Earl Weaver a run for his money!

2:23pm Joey joe joe:

Yup FIQ @2:19, that Bevacua rant is special too.

🎸

♥ 2:23pm Lizardner Dave !:

On a lighter note...nobody beats Lee Elia. Dig that one up!

Not a sports fan but I like whatever just happened there.

🎸

♥ 2:26pm tim from champaign (now washington):

I'd love to hear Lasorda and Classy Freddie Blassey go at it.

🎸

♥ 2:26pm Stevel:

"...couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat." Nice!

🎸

♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack:

And that was talking to reporters!

♥ 2:28pm Son Of Pantz:

Imagine Lasorda, Pinella, Weaver and Martin on a bender together. The roof would fall in from all the cursing.

🎸

♥ 2:30pm Stevel:

Reporters are historically very forgiving, especially in an all-guys setting.

2:31pm TVP:

The thing I'll remember most about Tommy Lasorda is his feuds with Youppi and the Philly Phanatic.

🎸

♥ 2:32pm Barbara Eeeee:

was driving around earlier so I couldn't comment without potentially decapitating someone - but want to thank you for hipping me to that Krayolas tune, Joe!

♥ 2:33pm HyperDose:

45s only, now that's commitment!

♥ 2:34pm Hubig Pie:

I left 2 milk crates of LP's on the neutral ground when we moved outta NOLA

Hey Joe, Skeleton, TOPT, Dennis, Handy, Spodi, Frank, SteveL, Mike Sin, McGroove, Swivs, Michael, Medson Man, Jeff, Krys, Vicky, Mariano, all. I just left the dentist at... 2:30!

♥ 2:37pm spodiodi:

hey Hoboken Jack!

2:38pm hifivicky:

@Hoboken jack 230 dentist LOL!

2:38pm Andres:

Never heard this Bowie. Love it!

🎸

♥ 2:38pm Handy Haversack:

I think that's when you're supposed to go *to* the dentist, Jack!

🎸

♥ 2:40pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Scary Monsters is so good!

♥ 2:40pm Roberto:

I've heard Teenage Wildlife is a dis at Gary Numan, but I can't make the connection based on the lyrics.

2:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@tim from champaign (now washington): I am not aware of Twilley cutting any Petty songs. First time I saw Twilley on TV, Petty was in the band (it was lip-synched so I don't say "playing in the band").

2:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Hoboken Jack: Congrats on getting the vaccine.

2:41pm Morgan:

january is bowiuary

2:41pm NikiA:

hi @Andres, @Spodiodi, etc. late start today but looking fwd to the day's music.

♥ 2:42pm Roberto:

I tried playing a cassette of Scary Monsters on a tour bus in Spain in 1986. We got halfway through It's No Game before I got overruled.

2:42pm Morgan:

tim scary monsters is very underrated

2:43pm Morgan:

scream like a baby is one of my favorites

♥ 2:43pm radioronan:

Gotta jump for meetings..thanks Joe! Thank skeleton crew!

♥ 2:43pm bbxtina:

hey @NikiA, how'd the furniture build go?

🎸

♥ 2:43pm OnTheTrain:

In other news I watched Surviving Death on Netflix.

♥ 2:44pm Roberto:

I played the bejezus out of Scary Monsters in college. Looking up the lyrics online decades later, a lot of them aren't anywhere close to what I thought they were lolz

♥ 2:44pm spodiodi:

hi NikiA

🎸

♥ 2:45pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Todd-o-phonic - Good to know. Was your first Twilley TV experience Looking for the Magic with Petty on bass?

🎸

♥ 2:45pm McGroovey:

I love Fripp's guitar on this album, and in general in this period.

🎸

♥ 2:46pm Joel:

WOW, Bowie has songs other than Major Tom (HA HA).. Nice selections Joe !!

🎸

♥ 2:46pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@morgan - No kidding! I had that record for decades before it finally knocked me out.

2:46pm NikiA:

hi @bb! omg so step one was so off that I had to decipher the instructions backwards like a puzzle and I'm only two steps in still. I figure I'll do this bit by bit every day 😹😭

2:47pm Leslie Day:

Thanks for the Bowie, Joe. Was lucky enough to see him at Queens College when he was doing his five boroughs small venues gig.

2:49pm Bob a:

Ooooooooooo yes. Bring on the funk.

♥ 2:50pm bbxtina:

@NikiA Sometimes assembly instructions are so counter-intuitive. I have a friend who just ended up screwing her Ikea unit together with her own screws cuz she was fed up! hahah

♥ 2:51pm Son Of Pantz:

The haunting harmonica always reminds me of Low, my favorite Bowie album.

🎸

♥ 2:51pm Handy Haversack:

@NikiA, I know that feeling and process *exactly*.

2:51pm Hawkeye:

This song always really hits me hard. Very emotional to listen to but also gives me hope in the magic and mystery. Miss you Bowie

2:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Tim...It was "Chance To Get Away" on some weird Saturday morning show...though it's possible they did a second song.

🎸

♥ 2:52pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hi to all. Thanks for "Time Fades Away" earlier, Joe. This ole geezer had almost forgotten that it is one of his favorite songs!

🎸

♥ 2:54pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Todd - Very cool! I'll look it up. I'm still cracking up over your "too chilly for Twilley" joke yo made on your show a few years ago.

🎸

♥ 2:54pm brycepunk1:
