Sue:
Hi Joseph! Good morning! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:06am
Joe:
Hello, Susan from Seattle! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:06am
Sue:
Wow, great track! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:07am
Marco:
And a very good morning from London too, to you and all your listeners...worldwide! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:08am
Joe:
Hey, Marco, welcome to you and the world! Glad you dig this track, Sue! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:08am
Sue:
I'm in Seattle for now, but I will be relocating to London shortly. But I'll still be tuning in! As soon as I figure out the time difference :{ | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:09am
Joe:
Be sure to say hello to Marco in the UK! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:11am
Marco:
Whenever you want, Sue! Show starts at 11 AM in the UK. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:18am
Sue:
Thank you Marco! That's awesome of you | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:30am
Marco:
Classic Long Ryders track! Great choice, Joe! Sid Griffin lives here in London and often plays solo or with his current combo, the Coalporters. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:39am
Joe:
Sid Griffin also helps out with those great reissues of Gram Parsons and such, doesn't he? | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:43am
Marco:
Indeed he does. He also contributes reviews to "Mojo" magazine and is frequently questioned on all Byrds-related matters. I did bump into him in 2005 in the foyer of the theatre where Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen were playing. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:46am
Joe:
That's cool! Nice guy? | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:49am
Marco:
Yes, very approachable and willing to share his vast knowledge. That's the way it should be! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:52am
Joe:
That's great to hear. It's so nice when people you admire from afar turn out to be really friendly in person. I had that experience recently with Robyn Hitchcock. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 6:59am
Marco:
Robyn is the single best British musician, bar none! Love his latest lp ("Goodnight Oslo"). He will be playing London at the beginning of September but I will be in my native Italy then and will miss him this time. Did catch him in 2008 though, with Peter Buck on stage! I met Mick Jones of the Clash last month and he is one of the nicest, most down to earth people you could possibly want to meet. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:07am
Joe:
I agree that Robyn is great. Nice to hear that Mick Jones is a good bloke, too! Joe Strummer was here at FMU a couple of years before his death and everyone who was here agrees that he was also a real gent. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:10am
Marco:
Am sure he was. Wish I could shake his hand too. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:12am
Joe:
Yeah, he was one I hated to see go. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:24am
Marco:
Joe, I have noticed there is an exhibition at MOMA that focuses on late seventies NY punk (that I absolutely love). Am planning to come over to catch it before it ends in November. Have you seen it? Would you recommend it? Thanks! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:27am
Joe:
No, Marco, I haven't gotten there on "free" night yet. Regular admission is something like 15 dollars now (more in pounds sterling, I'd imagine), so I need to get there on "pay as you wish" night! | |

Damn! Wish I had one of those records with me! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:46am

did the electric indian do anything other than the 45 (i don't recall the b-side)....i live up by Jimmy Sturr, but have yet to force myself to one of his gigs. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:51am
Joe:
Damn! I wish I had one of those records with me! (See, we both did it!) | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:51am
Joe:
You've gotta do it! It's a trip. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:57am

reading up through the comments, i won the vial of joe strummer backwash beer that hova gave out that day (i think it was hova). problem is I can't find it now. i wanted to clone him and raise him so i don't have to rely on social security when i'm old. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 7:59am
Joe:
So YOU were the lucky backwash recipient! I think there are still a few vials floating around somewhere. There's still hope! Well, unless you're in a Jim Carroll song... | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:18am
Marco:
Sad to hear that Willy De Ville has left us. Thanks for playing the Mink De Ville and Jim Carroll tracks. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:19am
Joe:
Yes, it's a drag. So young, too. But at least he left behind a lot of great music we can listen to until WE go. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:22am
Marco:
And let's hope we can keep on listening to music even after, whatever comes next! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:25am
Lisa the Bearded Lady:
Another fab show, Joe. I was going to write in and request some Mink DeVille, but of course, you were a step ahead of me. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:26am
Joe:
Aw, thanks, Lisa! You a rock star! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:27am
Lisa:
I know you are, but what am I? | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:28am
Joe:
Shucks! :) | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:38am
Lisa:
Jeez, this is apparently a theme show -- Make Lisa Cry. First Mott the Hoople and now one of my favorite JR songs. Waaaah | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:39am
Joe:
I'm not going to talk to you about macrobiotic cooking! | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:40am
Joe:
Am I better than the wall? I hope so. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:44am
Lisniffle:
You are better than talking to the wall about macrobiotic cooking. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:45am
Joe:
Ha! I don't want to talk to you about your pet cats. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:50am
Lisa:
Fine! They don't want me to talk to you anymore, anyway. Have a great rest of your Saturday, Joe. | |
Sat. 8/8/09 8:54am
Joe:
Thanks, Lisa, you too!! | |
