	♥ 9:41am Luisa24: I'm originally from West Virginia! Had coal miner friends in HS. I love this show already.

	♥ 9:42am Luisa24: Also I know we're not supposed to make requests but I'd love to hear Cumberland Blues by GD, if it isn't already on your set list!
	9:42am Dean from Old Bridge: This is basically the soundtrack of Fallout 76
	9:42am Avrilinmay: jeeesus! so sorry to hear about your grand father Joe. May all miners and hard labourers have some rest, in this life or for those we cannot help anymore in the one after
	♥ 9:42am TDK60: Speaking of miners, these Aug.-Sep. days are the centennial of the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia, largest labor battle in US history. There are lots of activities happening in WV. LI had a great uncle, a socialist miner, involved who was among those put on trial later; acquitted. Activities: static1.squarespace.com...

	9:42am Dean from Old Bridge: set in former WV

	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Mike W: Coal mine strikes are current events, too
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @TDK: Some seriously great info there, thanks. @MuWf: I tried to cut some of that low end, but it's from the film source. Oh well! :)
	9:44am BillD: Loving this coal miner's and Labor Day tribute. Fascinating and tragic personal history as well Joe.
	9:44am The Librarian: School kids still get tickets for a free visit. Yes, Ashland, interesting name for a coal mining town. Not far from Centralia which is still burning. Ah, those big holes in the ground once providing an income to so many families and now left to scar the landscape.
	♥ 9:45am TDK60: I married a coal miner's daughter when I lived in WV.
	♥ 9:45am mt1111: I’m addicted to WFMU, I can’t stop!
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am Handy Haversack: I met Bill Brovold at K8's band's show in the Catskills a couple weeks ago, and he told me he was doing concerts from mines these days.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Webhamster Henry: @Handy yes, Bill is planning some activities for the Widow Jane Mine next year.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am melinda: morning everyone
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Handy Haversack: Awesome, Webhamster Henry! Really enjoyed talking with him at the show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Strandlund: You don't want to stop, @mt1111...
	♥ 9:47am iiibeat: Leaving from West Virginia soon . . Stayed on the way back from Columbus . . Thanks for the synchronistic charge! An old movie about a slave was on BET last night. Blue
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am YETI BOB: mt1111: the next step on this path is to create a listener account and start donating money to the station
	♥ 9:49am Mungerphut: Love this set. Tanks Joe
	♥ 9:49am mt1111: Handy: I’m in Maine too.
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & who killed the miners? say the sad bells of Rhymney
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: Nice, mt1111! Listener melinda is a permanent resident of the state. K8 and I are here for too short a time.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: It's hard to think of a harder job than mining. Slaughterhouse maybe? Anyway, the dudes who did it were tough, like my great granddad. Hard way to make a living for sure.
	♥ 9:51am mt1111: Yeti Bob:I have an account and I donate monthly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am YETI BOB: Sorry mt! I didn't see an image by your name and jumped to conclusions, I apologize.
	♥ 9:52am Mungerphut: Mine War on Blackberry Creek is a great documentary about miners and strikes vimeo.com...
	♥ 9:52am Fuzzy: Crab fishing in the Bering sea is pretty tough.
	9:52am P-90: Mining: perhaps the most punishing job ever.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Webhamster Henry: Are we getting "Blood on the Coals"? www.songlyrics.com...
	9:54am morphe': Doing a BBC Newshour(13:53GMT)/Joe Mc G mashup.... whilst making my Simon's lunch working for me ..
	9:54am The Librarian: My grandfather lost two fingers in a mining accident when he was young. Continued to work in the mine until he retired. Hardest work I’ve ever heard of.
	♥ 9:55am Franco Twinkie: Our bedroom is like a deep dark coal mine.
	♥ 9:55am Luisa24: @revolution rabbit nov63 Nice one!!
	9:55am P-90: Surface Noise has replaced the long-running, now defunct Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy as the big annual broadcast entertainment event on the first Monday of September!
	9:56am Jack: My namesake: Hobo Jack Adkins - 30 inch coal www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am melinda: @Henry a classic
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @P-90: Wow, so sad that the telethon ended with Jerry.
	9:56am Kpx: My father work in the iron ore mines up until they closed it down in 1962. We lived right next to that abandoned area and we could frequently walk the dirt roads all through that area. They left this huge concrete building that my father used to call the change house, where they used to of course change clothes and prepare to go down into the mines.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Jack !
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Jack: That's a helluva record. I'll see if I can slip it in...
	9:58am P-90: @Joe: a lot of us who kind of grew up with the telethon still somehow instinctively expect it to be there….
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: Funny, My wife became head of communications for a lime stone mining company and now works ( remotely so far ) for a lithium mining company! I joke she needs a pick axe
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am yerfriendpaul: They should rebroadcast the old Jerry telethons in their entirety. I bet they’d still raise money.
	♥ 9:58am Franco Twinkie: I miss the telethon! That, and a rowdy pool party was always a big part of Labor Day. Ah, youth.
	♥ 9:59am TDK60: Good one by Mekons! We do need to close those mines right away, for the environment. That doesn't omit the history of struggle.
	9:59am morphe': trump's knowledge of clean coal .. sadly hilarious .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGbZ84PqHgI
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry: In the event of something happening to me, there is something I would like you all to see. -- BeeGees, 1941 NY Mining Disaster
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for this, coal miner's grandson. My brother-in-law's father worked in the iron mines in northern Minnesota. Bob Dylan country.
	♥ 10:00am Franco Twinkie: I miss The Mekons too. I just got up and I'm already sad, goddamnit!
	10:01am morphe': There was a South Boston Band in the '80s called Jerry's Kids can't remember the sound ...
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: I agree that mining should be over in every way. There's got to be a bigger push to figure out different ways to heat and power our homes and businesses. Too many men died in and from mining.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am YETI BOB: Mekons did a seriosly messed-up version of this song on their second LP ("Devils Rats and Piggies"). I've never heard this version, which is a lot more conventionally "musical"
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Mike W: Pretty good band/album from 2019 takes their name from this song and history
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am G: As an undergrad at U Mich, I had a friend who was a grad student and would attend grad student meetings about unionizing. He said they would sometimes sit around singing old coal miner work songs, which he found kind of ironic/amusing, given that they were all middle and upper-middle class early/mid-20smthgs w/ a higher educational credential than 99% of the US population :-)
	♥ 10:03am TDK60: I knew a WV kid who loved this song so much, he named his punk zine after it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Handy Haversack: We're off to the fair in a few minutes. This was a fantastic set, Joe. Thanks for all!
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @Mike W: Very good band! Love 'em.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Christy Moore does a great version of "The Blantyre Explosion," in case you want one more mining song after this set!
	10:05am morphe': The crux on the mining issue (not the environmental side)is the workers needing jobs vs reality ... surely there must be ways to bring economy to mining regions ...
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always the Scarcity Myth.
	10:06am Jack: Love Martin Carthy! Haven't heard him in a long while. Thanks Joe!
	10:06am reverie [o-] <3: excellent show joe!
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Handy: Ah, there's so many. So many songs about mining disasters....
	♥ 10:07am mt1111: Yeti Bob: I added an image for me, ok?
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' but there's just not ever enuff to go around to do the right thing ' - by the people, by the environment - you name it...
	♥ 10:07am John L: Martin Carthy even does a cover of New York Mining Disaster, 1941.
	10:07am morphe': Gave a Mining LP to the FMU Library = https://www.discogs.com/Various-Maggie-Maggie-Maggie-Out-Out-Out/release/1417946 all profits to the miners
	♥ 10:08am Fuzzy: Lithium, copper, diamonds, beryllium...
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: Nice image, MT. And I'm sorry for my comment earlier.
	♥ 10:08am Mungerphut: In the West Virginia documentary, Author Denise Giardina says that miners work in the mines because they love the land where they live and it's the only way to make a living if they want to stay. Terrible irony.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @John L: Oh, I don't know that cover!
	♥ 10:09am Barney Grubbs: The Dubliners did a nice version of the Springhill Mining Disaster tune (though I’m not sure “nice” is thr right adjective)
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Mining, WFMU-style — blog.wfmu.org... Also, Doug fills in for Irene at noon today.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: David Ackles' 'Aberfan' always gets me in the tear duct.
	10:12am The Librarian: @Mungerphut - quite true.
	♥ 10:12am Barney Grubbs: The Panopticon album Kentucky is all mining troubles, though probably a little too black metal/bluegrass to fit
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am sydnius: One wonders whether Reggae mining songs exist
	♥ 10:13am John L: Frank Tovey, of Fad Gadget, had an album called Tyranny And The Hired Hand; it's a traditional sounding collection of work songs, including a few coal mining tunes. You would never know it was the same man.
	♥ 10:14am TDK60: Hi Brian in UK.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Webhamster Henry: @sydnius "Workin' in a Coal Mine, Going Down Down Down" is pretty close!
	10:14am Avrilinmay: Gil Scott-Heron All the damn day, everyday !
	♥ 10:15am pgalub: Hey Joe! Great set!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Hello TDK60, all good?
	10:15am rural NJ miles below the earth's crust: Sounding great Joe!
	10:15am Kpx: Joe, do you have any songs about iron ore mining?
	10:15am johnk77: great set selecter gil was an amazing fender rhodes keyboard player live
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am steveo: Hey Joe, digging the show. Is Scott W. is in the office this week?
	♥ 10:16am Franco Twinkie: My experience with coal: I was in the Czech Republic during the coldest winter Europe had in fifty years. The place stunk like you wouldn't believe.
	10:17am morphe': Barney G .. "Panopticon" - Now there is a word not heard often nor in a long time .. Jeremy Bentems's mummy sits in a glass box in Uni. College London ...
	♥ 10:17am TDK60: Hazel! Saw her in WV. The real thing.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @kpx: Oh no, sorry, I was thinking of coal mining since that's where I grew up. @steveo: Thanks! He should be in tomorrow!
	♥ 10:18am Mungerphut: My dog barked at the dog in this song. Or maybe she's a Hazel fan
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am steveo: thanks Joe
	10:19am morphe': BOSSMAN BOSSMAN MIND WHAT YA DO AND MIND WHAT YOU SAY - YOU"LL BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MINE ONE DAY ..
	♥ 10:19am TDK60: Bob D.'s 'North Country Blues' is about the Mesabi iron range, tangentially. (One of his heaviest songs, he almost becomes that lonely old woman.)
	10:19am Avrilinmay: morning @fred ! I was wondering if you had an opportunity, for a quick look at my comment last week. Was lowkey worried some misunderstanding had happened on Friday (no worries if you could not anyway)
	♥ 10:19am Zinn The Mood: Had to stop dead in my tracks in the kitchen while sweeping the floor. This set of miner songs is chilling. Had just watched last week Harlan County USA. Film has stayed with me ever since. Having read about various miner and rail strikes it was a very vivid reminder of how many lives are ruined by the greed of vicious and venal capitalists who all too often wouldn’t budge on even the basic decency of pensions, workers comp and a living wage. Most of these guys lived in or near poverty, yet did the most excruciatingly difficult work. Should be required in every school to know what happened to their unions. With the state and the corporation joining together to literally kill workers who could no longer take being pushed to the edge with constant forced deprivation. But so few really know the true history of the miners’ struggle, or in a larger sense how so many workers unions were brutally, violently crushed.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am yerfriendpaul: Oof, these songs are so heartbreaking. Real pain
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Marley P. Dogg: What a great set! Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am sydnius: Solar. Power.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Joe & WFMU Land!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Lead mines, uranium mines, the caissons for the Brooklyn Bridge ... lots of different "rabbit holes" to dive into, as it were.
	♥ 10:22am Barney Grubbs: @morphe’ I didn’t know that about Bentham—looks creepy www.ucl.ac.uk...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am PaulRobeson1920: You can know all about this and all about that, but if you don’t know who I am ya don’t know jAck
	10:23am morphe': Zinn ... Henry Ford and oil interests bought up the railroads (various Ind Co.s) and put them out of biz inorder to foster their interest$$$$$$.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: Great set, Joe.
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: What a set, Joe.
	♥ 10:27am TDK60: If you've never seen John Sayles' "Matewan" movie, it's a good one.
	10:27am Avrilinmay: re: ford. Was wondering about the album's title of the first version of sixteen tons during this latest set ? sarcastic ?
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Listener Scott: Great idea for a set, and even greater execution, thanks Joe.
	10:28am morphe': Barney - not creepy .. kind of dull .... I was initially told he was pickled in a giant glass jar (like infant alligators from HS Bio class) and so was extremely excited then disappointed when I arrived (pre internet so no preview) ... but it is worth a look...
	10:29am The Librarian: Great set, thanks. Brought back some memories of my grandparents.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, PaulRobeson. I discovered too late that the TCM channel had a Paul Robeson documentary last night. I must keep alert to see when they show it again so I can watch it.
	10:29am Avrilinmay: never mind me! Failed to read the complete name of the artist. Some window on my computer screen was blocking his last name
	♥ 10:30am jabsonik: @TDK60: Matewan r00lz!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am G: @Avrilinmay: Computers! Can't live with em, can't live without em...
	♥ 10:32am Mungerphut: If you're interested in mine disasters, Monongahela is good. In 1907, 367 died. Italy and Turkey opened temprorary consulates in Fairmont WV to monitor the trial because they did not trust that their immigrant citizen miners would get a fair trail in the USA
	10:32am morphe': John Sayles .. FYI .. Sayles made crap Pop films (Gator and the original Pirhanna) to fund the projects he really wanted to do ... Gator and the original Pirhanna are worth a laugh ... also have hidden critical content regarding Big Pharma and CIA chemical plots
	10:34am Brendan: @Joe, Hi and Happy Autumn. Sorry. Missed the first half - going to listen to the archive for sure. Moms side of the family earned their living in the mines of the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Hard lives.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am PaulRobeson1920: @Ken From Hyde Park - Read Paul’s own words. That will make clear and more quickly than any moving image. In other words, Paul will not be televised… He wrote about the Tungsten in Ground under Vietnam in the mid 1950’s. ..Remember U.S longest war 1954-1975 U.S involvement in Vietnam and for what? Why were we There?
	10:34am Avrilinmay: @G : hahaha (now that's a Real irony for you right there)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: Mining has a rich history. As a consequence of what do we have labour laws?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: The current state of labour history reflects the current state of labour in America….
	♥ 10:35am TDK60: Brendan, which town in WV?
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am PaulRobeson1920: 7.25 an hour not working out for ya? Tough potatoes
	10:36am yippie: i'm on my way from the frisco bay goin back to dixieland
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Brendan: Happy autumn! @yippie: Safe travels!
	10:39am Brendan: @TDK60 a little town named Windsor Heights (north of Wheeling)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am melinda: thanks for the coal mining set
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @melinda: Happy that you liked it!
	10:40am morphe': Nickel and Dimed (Barbara Ehrenreich) is a good book about the struggle with minimum wage jobs = dated but not because it can be indexed for current wages vs costs.. Also how she lived the life[?] to write the book
	10:41am Jack: my sister was into Herman's Hermits. I swear I wasn't (I was a Dave Clark 5 fan)
	10:41am yippie: safety third
	10:41am Kpx: I live in this Old House that's been converted into a rooming house. however there are three studio apartments in it and I occupy one of them. The one I have has Gable windows, and right outside just below them is the entrance of a coal shoot that is boarded up. So what you say, I just brought that up because of the coal connection. Uninteresting I know, but hey, just the same
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am YETI BOB: It's still summer until Sep 22 (Equinox), don't believe the hype!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am melinda: Matewan was a great movie. Harlan County USA is the documentary that partially inspired Matewan and also worth watching.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. I will look for that.
	♥ 10:42am TDK60: Brendan: I have a pals up in Wheeling and Weirton. // Morphe, luckily Sayles made some great ones: The Secret of Roan Inish, The Brother from Another Planet, Men With Guns, etc. I need to see more of his...
	10:42am Tyler: LL Cool J sampled right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Ehrenreich did a follow up book on the lousiness of white collar jobs too. "Bait and Switch"
	10:43am morphe': KPX - WHAT? WHERE? Rooming House???? Sounds like 1870???
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @kpx: No, it's always in front of you so you remember it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Webhamster Henry: I saw Sayles a few years ago introducing and discussing Men With Guns, one of my favorite movies, along with Lone Star and a few others of his.
	10:44am The Librarian: @kpx - my neighbors still use coal. They put their ashes out and the town collects to use on roads when it snows. A very healthy alternative. (hard eye roll)
	10:46am morphe': TDK - yeah - I've seen them all - showed Brother from Another Planet while teaching ... even went to see obscure plays he wrote that never made the screen .. never spoke with him ..
	♥ 10:46am Barney Grubbs: @morphe’ I’d believe it—I used to take visitors to see the cornell brain collection, which you could build up in all sorts of ways, but in reality turns out to be a bunch of forlorn brains sitting around in jars. I hope I can visit Bentham & his wax head one of these days en.m.wikipedia.org...
	10:48am johnk77: the grace jones featured the riddim section of sly & robbie w/mikey chung on guitar thanks again selecter
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @johnk77: Thanks for the info!
	♥ 10:50am TDK60: Golly Joe, you have the most interesting WFMU comments board sometimes.
	♥ 10:50am Asheville Jon: is the show over already?
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Jon: Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am McGroovey: Shiw sounds great today. I'm listening while eating a bowl of cereal and drinking my coffee in Rochester.
	10:56am Kpx: Thanks Joe, it's even got the old time cut stone work that's fitted together for the foundation. @the librarian: kewl!. @Morphe: yeah the house was built somewhere around the turn of the century, and it's in north Jersey. But now the house is owned by a slumlord and the place is a dump
	10:56am rw: Joe, you have this 45? I'm jealous. Not surprised, but jealous. Good morning and thank you for the music!!
	♥ 10:56am chresti: Hi Joe and party! Listening from the tennis booth in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: I want my little wing-head!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am melinda: Brother from Another Planet is great, good soundtrack too, my intro to Lee 'Scratch' Perry
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @rw: Sure thing! I was lucky enough to find this for $2 in a pile of '90s 45s.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am PaulRobeson1920: When Paul Robeson’s father lost his Church in Princeton NJ, he became an ash man to support his family… one of the only jobs open to Black People at the time, (porter, laborer, dock worker, cook, Night Soil collector…) to paraphrase C.Wright Mills- a sociological imagination allows the possessor to grasp the intersection of Biography and history and the relations between the two within society… Paul’s father would dump the coal ash behind their home
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am PaulRobeson1920: A Clean Coal job!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @melinda: If you missed it, check out Duane's archive from last week. Amazing Lee Perry special.
	♥ 11:01am Franco Twinkie: In the movie Blank Generation by Amos Poe, Little Johnny Jewel steals a television and runs down the street. One could argue that robbing people is a form of labor, Difficult for some, natural as breathing for others. What is labor, and who decides what has value and what is a suspect pursuit that doesn't benefit society?
	11:01am DannyBoyNYC: Yowza, had no idea that the WFMU app was available for my laptop until now. As the kids say - Game Changer!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am PaulRobeson1920: @DannyBoy! The Pipes!!!
	11:04am rw: Nice record flipping. I hardly noticed!
	11:04am Avrilinmay: @sydnius @10:13 : no idea about Jamaican(and caribbean music in general) but definitely exist (at the very least) two songs I know of, on the subject, from the other side of the globe. If anyone's interested : Redeyef by Bendirman. and Labess by Neyssatou (which is less explicitly tied to the subject than the first), that can be found on soundcloud
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am melinda: @Joe I will, thanks for the reminder
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am YETI BOB: Franco Twinkie: So that movie influenced both Richard Hell (Blank Generation) and Tom Verlaine (Little Johnny Jewel)? Maybe I should watch it.
	♥ 11:07am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone
	♥ 11:08am TDK60: Have to leave show early. Thanks Monday Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am Brian in UK: Billy Bremner was also a rugged Scottish footballer who played for Leeds United. Hard man.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am Brian in UK: Bring it on!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am tadpoles: Gotta have us some Love!
	11:11am Kpx: . Have a good day TDK.
	♥ 11:11am Heidee: Hello dear people! Happy summer greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am Brian in UK: The Doors oh yeah.
	♥ 11:11am Asheville Jon: Joe, you feeling ok today? You sound a little off this morning, tired/head cold/stuffy?
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am PaulRobeson1920: Oh yes oh yes
	♥ 11:11am Heidee: Brian clocked it after 2 seconds
	11:12am headcleaner: How can you -not- love this group?
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: "The Doors"? never heard of them. were they famous?
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am YETI BOB: Hallo Heidelberg Heidi!
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Thank you, Joe!! Like a breath of fresh air
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Jon: A bit froggy, yes! But I feel fine.
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: good to hear Joe!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: Yetti Bob, Amos Poe merely documented the nascent downtown NYC music scene. I saw it at Filmex in L.A. in 1978. The segment with Television was a mini comedy featuring Little Jonny Jewel.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am YETI BOB: Franco - OIC - that sounds like fun - I'll check it out.
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Add Joe McG to the Pro-doors column w/ Iggy & Bowie & Alice & Mazzy & Bunnymen & me.
	♥ 11:14am Heidee: Hi Yeti Bob! Nice to see you and to be back. Been enjoying my summer holidays. How are things with you?
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am tadpoles: Arthur Lee told Jac Holzman to check out The Doors.....was apprehensive at first. I always thought recent group The Dawes were a bit cheeky.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: This is a spring song. I should have played "Indian Summer"!
	♥ 11:15am Stanley: Hi Joe and all here. Got to admit I'm always a bit non-plussed with The Doors. (Am I allowed to say this?)
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am YETI BOB: Heidee - I'm fine, today is a day off (US holiday), we're going to go out for a little drive once my wife is up & ready.
	11:15am Kpx: Asheville Jon: were they famous! Goodun.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Officer Pupp: I can generally take or leave The Doors (outside of their stellar singles of course) but that was pretty great.
	♥ 11:16am Asheville Jon: i really like the two post-Morrison albums, and the various solo & post Doors projects by the other members. Really liked Manzarek stuff. Saw Robbie Krieger is a dive bar outside Philly a hundred million years ago
	11:16am Andres: Hello! So Johnny Jewel (Glass Candy, etc) borrowed the name I guess.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am YETI BOB: It's OK to not like things. Just don't be a jerk about it.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Stanley: Sure, Stanley. I guess besides loving or loathing them there's always the "don't care" option!
	♥ 11:17am Franco Twinkie: Joe, I too was a desciple of Elektra. The first record I ever bought with my own money was 7&7 Is by Love, when I was eleven years old in the summer of 1966.
	♥ 11:17am Roberto: Nonplussed essentially means blown away.
	11:18am Jack: Is this Rhinoceres that did "Apricot Brandy"? Billy Mundi drums? (the pop-up player is showing "Best of the monkees")
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Jack: Yes, one and the same. It's on this LP!
	11:18am Joe B: Hey Joe! sounding great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: Rhinoceros, kind of Elektra house band.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am tadpoles: Elektra always had great heavy weight gate-fold covers.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am PaulRobeson1920: Waiting, waiting, waiting…Waiting for you to, come along… Waiting for you to, hear my song Brilliant and bright and always fresh
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @Franco: Wow, what a great first record!! @Joe B: Thanks, Joe!
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Musics is much like Foods (& in several ways.) No way any Menu can please everyone. Whatever it is. The main thing is being brave & forthcoming enuff to admit your tastes ...first, & especilally, to oneself.
	♥ 11:19am Franco Twinkie: Ashville Jon, I saw that version of The Doors at The Hollywood Bowl with Tim Buckley and Frank Zappa.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am yerfriendpaul: I’d like to register here as a Doors appreciator.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: Apparently Jac H. didn't think much of Rhinoceros, but the band did 3 LPs for the label. Paul Rothchild liked them.
	11:20am Jack: I love the Doors. They were great! And yes, Jim Morrison was an asshole!
	♥ 11:20am chresti: Franco! The engine light is on..
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am yerfriendpaul: Jack - ha ha!
	11:20am headcleaner: Which philly dive bar, Asheville Jon? I miss the grime in that city
	♥ 11:20am Franco Twinkie: The little one?
	♥ 11:20am Stanley: Thanks Yeti. Just that I always feel a bit awkward expressing negative opinions, however mild. Not that my opinion should mean anyhing.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& - 'I just like it' - or Not - is a perfectly legit Critique ...*as far as it goes.
	♥ 11:21am Heidee: @RevRab @11:19 Well put!
	♥ 11:22am Asheville Jon: cool Franco! i have a few post-morrison concert bootlegs, listen to them somewhat frequently. oh my gawd headcleaner, i don't recall. it was in the late 80's i think. i think it was up 611 maybe near new hope.
	♥ 11:23am chresti: "service engine soon"
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: I remember John Peel bring quoted something on the lines of Merzbow's music. He did not care for it but would defend to the death the right for it to be heard.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am YETI BOB: Stanley - I hear ya - I often stop myself when I'm about to express a negative opinion, thinking: "does this make the chatboard a more fun and lively place, or not?"
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am YETI BOB: Also - if WFMU only played music I liked, I don't think I would like it!!
	♥ 11:24am Franco Twinkie: I'll call you in a minute Chresti.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: Hello Stanley. Does the sun shine in your (Morrisonless) world?
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMU has made me really cognizant of how much Context matters. The same painting in another museum would be...
	11:25am Avrilinmay: @Franco Twinkie @11:19 : LUCKY
	11:25am Kpx: It's perfectly fine to say you like the doors, and at the same time say that Morrison was a complete ass.
	11:26am Jack: I'm sorry; I didn't mean to come across as so opinionated, about the Doors. Their MUSIC was (and is) great. And yes, Ray Manzarek was also an asshole!
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am steveo: i like that, Rev
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Not sure if Morrison was a complete ass. Think he was still training when he died.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): enjoying this set! also: CHRESTIKINS!
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No a-holes in Rawk ! ...that leaves ...lessee ...urm - give me a minute...
	11:27am Joe B: Anyone remember the time Glen Jones hung up on Manzarek? dude was being such a jerk, Jonesy had enough and ended the interview after about 5 minutes!
	11:27am Andres: Beginning sounded like we were about to bust into some Boney M! Which I also enjoy along with The Doors.
	♥ 11:27am Roberto: Not an asshole: John Densmore, with whom I was in an improv class in the late '80s.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): RevRab: ha HA!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am tadpoles: #Andres....ditto.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am YETI BOB: Joe B: Damn, I missed that
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am ChrisB.: @JoeB. Oh yeah! Ray's answer to every question was "Read the book."
	♥ 11:29am Stanley: Yeti -exactly. However, I reserve the right to express a (hopefully light-hearted) tongue-in-chek view when I'm sitting through some obscure and 'challenging' composition, like 10 minutes of gum being chewed, for example.
	♥ 11:29am spodiodi: Joe B, that sounds priceless. olo
	♥ 11:29am Stanley: But, of course, I shall defend to the death the DJ's right to play it.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Stanley: totally with you there!
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am steveo: lyric was "that's my hang-up -- to be free" as i was reading that comment about jonesy above :D
	11:30am Joe B: Chris B - yes!
	♥ 11:30am Asheville Jon: Glen Jones / Manzarek show: wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am YETI BOB: Right on Stanley
	11:30am Joe B: thanks Jon!
	♥ 11:30am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Would recommend either or both Becoming Elektra by Mick Houghton Follow the Music Jac Holtzman & Gavin Daws!!
	11:31am Jack: @Ashville Jon: thank you!
	♥ 11:31am Stanley: Hi Brian - there is always a little less sunshine in my (Morrisonless) world.
	♥ 11:31am Asheville Jon: Sure thing Joe. I haven't heard it, so i just had to find it!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am PaulRobeson1920: Yeah! Hahaha I gotta hear that
	11:31am jg: Great show today joe. Perfect September mood. Especially the doors
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): trying to think of notable folx I have met who weren't assholes, and none of them could be classified as rock stars. Les Paul is the closest I can think of. He was really nice. And Robert Moog. Not rock, though.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Jg: Ah, glad you're enjoying it. I was in the mood for some Elektra Records records this morning.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Stanley, could be worse, it could be a Morrissey world.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bob Dorough, super nice. Not rock.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Depends. Sometimes the answer for me is - tune out. Sometimes - the intention of the Artist is Irritainmnent in the 1st place. OK - Art does that too. Sometimes - debating tastes & merits of works makes fun & lively comments anyhow. Different - somehow - from just farting & being miserable @ the party & bringing everyone down... Mostly - where FMU is concerned - nobody needs a Troll who - as I put it - complains it isn't Cake when it clearly says Soup on the door of the shop...
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Weird Al. Asshole. Rock star?
	♥ 11:33am Stanley: Haha, Brian. You are so right!
	11:33am Joe B: wow great version here. new to me
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @JoeB: Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to do a bad version of this one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah, I'm digging the extra twang on this one
	♥ 11:34am Franco Twinkie: Two Elektra bands that got a lot of airplay in L.A. were Clear Light and Crabby Appleton. Black Roses was a modest presence on the AM radio, but Go Back was huge.
	11:35am Joe B: good point Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am DjLorraine: These Days used to make me cry. I appreciate this version.
	♥ 11:35am Stanley: Lovely pick, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Webhamster Henry: A good inspiration for one of Mary Wing's 3 of a kind sets!
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: @Franco: Whoops, forgot Crabby, Capitol City Rockets, and Wackers. Have all that stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WebHam: oooohhhh!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am officina: Another lovely show, Joe! Also had a coal miner grandfather who succumbed to black lung, though in Wyoming. Nasty way to go.
	♥ 11:36am spodiodi: Rev Rabbit @11:32, i love "Irritainment" :^D
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am McGroovey: Me talking to myself: "Who is this? Oh, Ian Matthews. I should get this record. ... Oh, wait, I think I already have it! I should play it. When I get home."
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Webhamster Henry: why did I call you WebHam??!?! I'm laughing til I cry here. Another sip of caffeine ought to help!
	11:37am Andres: Lovely version that Ian Matthews!
	♥ 11:37am Stanley: And this Jeanie Greene trundles along very nicely.
	11:38am modern blaze: ✌🏻
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: Wonder if we will hear some Mickey Newbury.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: We will!
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Favourites do not fade.
	11:40am Kpx: Joe b, Jack, Asheville Jon, never heard that manzarek was an asshole. But I'm going to get an idea why when I click on AJ's link. L8ter
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: This album is an alltime favourite in this house.
	11:41am egould310: Thanks for the tunes, Joe M. It’s been a nice holiday Monday where I can lay in bed and listen and doze. Now it’s time to wake up, stretch and go for a run. Nice and cool and grey in Seattle this morning. Perfect running weather.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I witnessed my a-hole beau (EX) being an a-hole to Peter Wolf, who was actually being rather nice. Peter got pissed and left in a huff, which was quite appropriate.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: spodi : 'Irritainment' has been in the FMU vocabulary for some time.
	♥ 11:42am Franco Twinkie: Of course Television was an Elektra band - they fit the profile nicely, and a few years later X. I don't think Jack had anything to do with bringing either band into the fold, but in my cosmology they sure as hell were Elektra bands.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am tadpoles: Syncronicity...Ian Matthews sang the original "No Man's Land" on Fairport's second LP. Great show Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am bk845: Quick question for the group...Should I fly an American flag on Labor Day?
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Joe, you made an old man happy!!! Great show.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @egould: Thanks for tuning in!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): All the Elvis groupies in Pam DeBarre's interviews book said he was really nice.
	♥ 11:44am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS! I say "WebHam" too, sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins: OK, maybe I got it from you. :-D
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): sometimes I look at what I just posted and wonder what I was thinking, even though the app gives you a chance to preview your quip before you dump it onto the group. ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am McGroovey: I just had the same conversation with myself about the Mickey Newberry record.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Rhinoceros play back up on this album.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am McGroovey: Ooh, but I don't have the David Ackles record, and I have a day free in Rochester, and two of the biggest used record stores anywhere are within 20 minutes of here ...
	♥ 11:50am Franco Twinkie: Elektra was a scrappy underdog in the 60's. Two bands they courted that slipped away were Moby Grape, which were snagged by Columbia, and ouch, Buffalo Springfield which was wined and dined by Atco. Love um' or hate um' The Doors came out swinging and made the kiddies sit up and take notice of the big E.
	11:50am Andres: This David Ackles a beaut! Will have to check out more.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Officer Pupp: This David Ackles is gorgeous.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Webhamster Henry: @Mx BababBee: I wonder why people don't abbreviate my handle to "WHHenry". The old original WFMU website used to call me "WebMonster". web.archive.org...
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: @Andres: Highly recommend all 4 of his albums, the first 3 on Elektra.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: The Doors were Elektra's first No.1.
	♥ 11:52am chresti: Thanks Joe! It's Labor Day madness here today..
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Webhamster Henry: An Elektra Records promo ad (with David Ackles) jhhl.net...
	♥ 11:53am Franco Twinkie: Chresti, I'll call you after Joe's show is over, so sit tight.
	11:53am Brendan: @Joe, Thanks for the labor of love of this and the many holiday shows you worked, including the old Thursday Thanksgiving shows.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Webhamster Henry: Hmm that's the Judy Collins one. I'll have to poke around some more..
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Wow, maybe I need to do another Elektra special. I barely played half of what I brought! @Brendan: Thanks so much! It's a pleasure to be here week after week, even on holidays.
	11:54am The Butterman: Thanks for another fine show Mr. McGasko.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - Morning became Elektra...
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: @RR63: Thanks! You just named the show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: How about Mining Becomes Elektra?
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I got the Forever Changing box even...
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Joe, you know it makes sense.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am yerfriendpaul: Great show, Joe! Really enjoyed it. Have a good Labor Day, gang!
	♥ 11:55am spodiodi: Joe, thanks for the Luxurious Labor Lektra set!
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WebHenry Haha !!
	♥ 11:56am Stanley: Fine show, Joe. Many thanks. Later, everyone.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mining Becomes Elektra
	11:56am Andres: Thank you, Joe! Looking forward to Part 2! Happy Labour Day, friends!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: @Webmaster: Wow, now that's good!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone! Have a great Labor Day and a great week!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for your labor today, Joe!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG.
	11:57am Jack: Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am alanSixº: Woke up for the last half hour and glad I made it - thanks gentleman joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am McGroovey: My friend had a metal band in the nineties in NYC called Rhinocervs. He hadn't heard of Rhinoceros yet when he named the band. The V was meant to be a stylized U (they were the same letter in Latin). It seemed like a good idea at the time. The music my friend plays now is more like the old Rhinoceros.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am PaulRobeson1920: Thank you for the Labor of love, Joe! Great Show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Marley P. Dogg: Great show as always!!!! Thanks Joe!!!
	♥ 11:59am Franco Twinkie: This was a real treat Joe, thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Wow, thanks, Joe! Great program!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Webhamster Henry: OK the tiny bit of Ackles is in this Gavin & Woloshin medley: jhhl.net...
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am melinda: thx Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Joe and Surface Noise Yippers!

	9:42am Dean from Old Bridge: This is basically the soundtrack of Fallout 76
	9:42am Avrilinmay: jeeesus! so sorry to hear about your grand father Joe. May all miners and hard labourers have some rest, in this life or for those we cannot help anymore in the one after
	♥ 9:42am TDK60: Speaking of miners, these Aug.-Sep. days are the centennial of the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia, largest labor battle in US history. There are lots of activities happening in WV. LI had a great uncle, a socialist miner, involved who was among those put on trial later; acquitted. Activities: static1.squarespace.com...

	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Mike W: Coal mine strikes are current events, too
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @TDK: Some seriously great info there, thanks. @MuWf: I tried to cut some of that low end, but it's from the film source. Oh well! :)
	9:44am BillD: Loving this coal miner's and Labor Day tribute. Fascinating and tragic personal history as well Joe.
	9:44am The Librarian: School kids still get tickets for a free visit. Yes, Ashland, interesting name for a coal mining town. Not far from Centralia which is still burning. Ah, those big holes in the ground once providing an income to so many families and now left to scar the landscape.
	♥ 9:45am TDK60: I married a coal miner's daughter when I lived in WV.
	♥ 9:45am mt1111: I’m addicted to WFMU, I can’t stop!

	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Webhamster Henry: @Handy yes, Bill is planning some activities for the Widow Jane Mine next year.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am melinda: morning everyone
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Handy Haversack: Awesome, Webhamster Henry! Really enjoyed talking with him at the show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Strandlund: You don't want to stop, @mt1111...
	♥ 9:47am iiibeat: Leaving from West Virginia soon . . Stayed on the way back from Columbus . . Thanks for the synchronistic charge! An old movie about a slave was on BET last night. Blue
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am YETI BOB: mt1111: the next step on this path is to create a listener account and start donating money to the station
	♥ 9:49am Mungerphut: Love this set. Tanks Joe
	♥ 9:49am mt1111: Handy: I’m in Maine too.
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & who killed the miners? say the sad bells of Rhymney
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: Nice, mt1111! Listener melinda is a permanent resident of the state. K8 and I are here for too short a time.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: It's hard to think of a harder job than mining. Slaughterhouse maybe? Anyway, the dudes who did it were tough, like my great granddad. Hard way to make a living for sure.
	♥ 9:51am mt1111: Yeti Bob:I have an account and I donate monthly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am YETI BOB: Sorry mt! I didn't see an image by your name and jumped to conclusions, I apologize.
	♥ 9:52am Mungerphut: Mine War on Blackberry Creek is a great documentary about miners and strikes vimeo.com...
	♥ 9:52am Fuzzy: Crab fishing in the Bering sea is pretty tough.
	9:52am P-90: Mining: perhaps the most punishing job ever.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Webhamster Henry: Are we getting "Blood on the Coals"? www.songlyrics.com...
	9:54am morphe': Doing a BBC Newshour(13:53GMT)/Joe Mc G mashup.... whilst making my Simon's lunch working for me ..
	9:54am The Librarian: My grandfather lost two fingers in a mining accident when he was young. Continued to work in the mine until he retired. Hardest work I’ve ever heard of.
	♥ 9:55am Franco Twinkie: Our bedroom is like a deep dark coal mine.
	♥ 9:55am Luisa24: @revolution rabbit nov63 Nice one!!
	9:55am P-90: Surface Noise has replaced the long-running, now defunct Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy as the big annual broadcast entertainment event on the first Monday of September!
	9:56am Jack: My namesake: Hobo Jack Adkins - 30 inch coal www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am melinda: @Henry a classic
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @P-90: Wow, so sad that the telethon ended with Jerry.
	9:56am Kpx: My father work in the iron ore mines up until they closed it down in 1962. We lived right next to that abandoned area and we could frequently walk the dirt roads all through that area. They left this huge concrete building that my father used to call the change house, where they used to of course change clothes and prepare to go down into the mines.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Jack !
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Jack: That's a helluva record. I'll see if I can slip it in...
	9:58am P-90: @Joe: a lot of us who kind of grew up with the telethon still somehow instinctively expect it to be there….
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: Funny, My wife became head of communications for a lime stone mining company and now works ( remotely so far ) for a lithium mining company! I joke she needs a pick axe
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am yerfriendpaul: They should rebroadcast the old Jerry telethons in their entirety. I bet they’d still raise money.
	♥ 9:58am Franco Twinkie: I miss the telethon! That, and a rowdy pool party was always a big part of Labor Day. Ah, youth.
	♥ 9:59am TDK60: Good one by Mekons! We do need to close those mines right away, for the environment. That doesn't omit the history of struggle.
	9:59am morphe': trump's knowledge of clean coal .. sadly hilarious .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGbZ84PqHgI
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry: In the event of something happening to me, there is something I would like you all to see. -- BeeGees, 1941 NY Mining Disaster
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for this, coal miner's grandson. My brother-in-law's father worked in the iron mines in northern Minnesota. Bob Dylan country.
	♥ 10:00am Franco Twinkie: I miss The Mekons too. I just got up and I'm already sad, goddamnit!
	10:01am morphe': There was a South Boston Band in the '80s called Jerry's Kids can't remember the sound ...
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: I agree that mining should be over in every way. There's got to be a bigger push to figure out different ways to heat and power our homes and businesses. Too many men died in and from mining.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am YETI BOB: Mekons did a seriosly messed-up version of this song on their second LP ("Devils Rats and Piggies"). I've never heard this version, which is a lot more conventionally "musical"
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Mike W: Pretty good band/album from 2019 takes their name from this song and history
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am G: As an undergrad at U Mich, I had a friend who was a grad student and would attend grad student meetings about unionizing. He said they would sometimes sit around singing old coal miner work songs, which he found kind of ironic/amusing, given that they were all middle and upper-middle class early/mid-20smthgs w/ a higher educational credential than 99% of the US population :-)
	♥ 10:03am TDK60: I knew a WV kid who loved this song so much, he named his punk zine after it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Handy Haversack: We're off to the fair in a few minutes. This was a fantastic set, Joe. Thanks for all!
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @Mike W: Very good band! Love 'em.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Christy Moore does a great version of "The Blantyre Explosion," in case you want one more mining song after this set!
	10:05am morphe': The crux on the mining issue (not the environmental side)is the workers needing jobs vs reality ... surely there must be ways to bring economy to mining regions ...
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always the Scarcity Myth.
	10:06am Jack: Love Martin Carthy! Haven't heard him in a long while. Thanks Joe!
	10:06am reverie [o-] <3: excellent show joe!
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Handy: Ah, there's so many. So many songs about mining disasters....
	♥ 10:07am mt1111: Yeti Bob: I added an image for me, ok?
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' but there's just not ever enuff to go around to do the right thing ' - by the people, by the environment - you name it...
	♥ 10:07am John L: Martin Carthy even does a cover of New York Mining Disaster, 1941.
	10:07am morphe': Gave a Mining LP to the FMU Library = https://www.discogs.com/Various-Maggie-Maggie-Maggie-Out-Out-Out/release/1417946 all profits to the miners
	♥ 10:08am Fuzzy: Lithium, copper, diamonds, beryllium...
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: Nice image, MT. And I'm sorry for my comment earlier.
	♥ 10:08am Mungerphut: In the West Virginia documentary, Author Denise Giardina says that miners work in the mines because they love the land where they live and it's the only way to make a living if they want to stay. Terrible irony.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @John L: Oh, I don't know that cover!
	♥ 10:09am Barney Grubbs: The Dubliners did a nice version of the Springhill Mining Disaster tune (though I’m not sure “nice” is thr right adjective)
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Mining, WFMU-style — blog.wfmu.org... Also, Doug fills in for Irene at noon today.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: David Ackles' 'Aberfan' always gets me in the tear duct.
	10:12am The Librarian: @Mungerphut - quite true.
	♥ 10:12am Barney Grubbs: The Panopticon album Kentucky is all mining troubles, though probably a little too black metal/bluegrass to fit
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am sydnius: One wonders whether Reggae mining songs exist
	♥ 10:13am John L: Frank Tovey, of Fad Gadget, had an album called Tyranny And The Hired Hand; it's a traditional sounding collection of work songs, including a few coal mining tunes. You would never know it was the same man.
	♥ 10:14am TDK60: Hi Brian in UK.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Webhamster Henry: @sydnius "Workin' in a Coal Mine, Going Down Down Down" is pretty close!
	10:14am Avrilinmay: Gil Scott-Heron All the damn day, everyday !
	♥ 10:15am pgalub: Hey Joe! Great set!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Hello TDK60, all good?
	10:15am rural NJ miles below the earth's crust: Sounding great Joe!
	10:15am Kpx: Joe, do you have any songs about iron ore mining?
	10:15am johnk77: great set selecter gil was an amazing fender rhodes keyboard player live
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am steveo: Hey Joe, digging the show. Is Scott W. is in the office this week?
	♥ 10:16am Franco Twinkie: My experience with coal: I was in the Czech Republic during the coldest winter Europe had in fifty years. The place stunk like you wouldn't believe.
	10:17am morphe': Barney G .. "Panopticon" - Now there is a word not heard often nor in a long time .. Jeremy Bentems's mummy sits in a glass box in Uni. College London ...
	♥ 10:17am TDK60: Hazel! Saw her in WV. The real thing.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @kpx: Oh no, sorry, I was thinking of coal mining since that's where I grew up. @steveo: Thanks! He should be in tomorrow!
	♥ 10:18am Mungerphut: My dog barked at the dog in this song. Or maybe she's a Hazel fan
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am steveo: thanks Joe
	10:19am morphe': BOSSMAN BOSSMAN MIND WHAT YA DO AND MIND WHAT YOU SAY - YOU"LL BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MINE ONE DAY ..
	♥ 10:19am TDK60: Bob D.'s 'North Country Blues' is about the Mesabi iron range, tangentially. (One of his heaviest songs, he almost becomes that lonely old woman.)
	10:19am Avrilinmay: morning @fred ! I was wondering if you had an opportunity, for a quick look at my comment last week. Was lowkey worried some misunderstanding had happened on Friday (no worries if you could not anyway)
	♥ 10:19am Zinn The Mood: Had to stop dead in my tracks in the kitchen while sweeping the floor. This set of miner songs is chilling. Had just watched last week Harlan County USA. Film has stayed with me ever since. Having read about various miner and rail strikes it was a very vivid reminder of how many lives are ruined by the greed of vicious and venal capitalists who all too often wouldn’t budge on even the basic decency of pensions, workers comp and a living wage. Most of these guys lived in or near poverty, yet did the most excruciatingly difficult work. Should be required in every school to know what happened to their unions. With the state and the corporation joining together to literally kill workers who could no longer take being pushed to the edge with constant forced deprivation. But so few really know the true history of the miners’ struggle, or in a larger sense how so many workers unions were brutally, violently crushed.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am yerfriendpaul: Oof, these songs are so heartbreaking. Real pain
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Marley P. Dogg: What a great set! Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am sydnius: Solar. Power.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Joe & WFMU Land!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Lead mines, uranium mines, the caissons for the Brooklyn Bridge ... lots of different "rabbit holes" to dive into, as it were.
	♥ 10:22am Barney Grubbs: @morphe’ I didn’t know that about Bentham—looks creepy www.ucl.ac.uk...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am PaulRobeson1920: You can know all about this and all about that, but if you don’t know who I am ya don’t know jAck
	10:23am morphe': Zinn ... Henry Ford and oil interests bought up the railroads (various Ind Co.s) and put them out of biz inorder to foster their interest$$$$$$.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: Great set, Joe.
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: What a set, Joe.
	♥ 10:27am TDK60: If you've never seen John Sayles' "Matewan" movie, it's a good one.
	10:27am Avrilinmay: re: ford. Was wondering about the album's title of the first version of sixteen tons during this latest set ? sarcastic ?
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Listener Scott: Great idea for a set, and even greater execution, thanks Joe.
	10:28am morphe': Barney - not creepy .. kind of dull .... I was initially told he was pickled in a giant glass jar (like infant alligators from HS Bio class) and so was extremely excited then disappointed when I arrived (pre internet so no preview) ... but it is worth a look...
	10:29am The Librarian: Great set, thanks. Brought back some memories of my grandparents.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, PaulRobeson. I discovered too late that the TCM channel had a Paul Robeson documentary last night. I must keep alert to see when they show it again so I can watch it.
	10:29am Avrilinmay: never mind me! Failed to read the complete name of the artist. Some window on my computer screen was blocking his last name
	♥ 10:30am jabsonik: @TDK60: Matewan r00lz!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am G: @Avrilinmay: Computers! Can't live with em, can't live without em...
	♥ 10:32am Mungerphut: If you're interested in mine disasters, Monongahela is good. In 1907, 367 died. Italy and Turkey opened temprorary consulates in Fairmont WV to monitor the trial because they did not trust that their immigrant citizen miners would get a fair trail in the USA
	10:32am morphe': John Sayles .. FYI .. Sayles made crap Pop films (Gator and the original Pirhanna) to fund the projects he really wanted to do ... Gator and the original Pirhanna are worth a laugh ... also have hidden critical content regarding Big Pharma and CIA chemical plots
	10:34am Brendan: @Joe, Hi and Happy Autumn. Sorry. Missed the first half - going to listen to the archive for sure. Moms side of the family earned their living in the mines of the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Hard lives.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am PaulRobeson1920: @Ken From Hyde Park - Read Paul’s own words. That will make clear and more quickly than any moving image. In other words, Paul will not be televised… He wrote about the Tungsten in Ground under Vietnam in the mid 1950’s. ..Remember U.S longest war 1954-1975 U.S involvement in Vietnam and for what? Why were we There?
	10:34am Avrilinmay: @G : hahaha (now that's a Real irony for you right there)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: Mining has a rich history. As a consequence of what do we have labour laws?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: The current state of labour history reflects the current state of labour in America….
	♥ 10:35am TDK60: Brendan, which town in WV?
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am PaulRobeson1920: 7.25 an hour not working out for ya? Tough potatoes
	10:36am yippie: i'm on my way from the frisco bay goin back to dixieland
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Brendan: Happy autumn! @yippie: Safe travels!
	10:39am Brendan: @TDK60 a little town named Windsor Heights (north of Wheeling)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am melinda: thanks for the coal mining set
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @melinda: Happy that you liked it!
	10:40am morphe': Nickel and Dimed (Barbara Ehrenreich) is a good book about the struggle with minimum wage jobs = dated but not because it can be indexed for current wages vs costs.. Also how she lived the life[?] to write the book
	10:41am Jack: my sister was into Herman's Hermits. I swear I wasn't (I was a Dave Clark 5 fan)
	10:41am yippie: safety third
	10:41am Kpx: I live in this Old House that's been converted into a rooming house. however there are three studio apartments in it and I occupy one of them. The one I have has Gable windows, and right outside just below them is the entrance of a coal shoot that is boarded up. So what you say, I just brought that up because of the coal connection. Uninteresting I know, but hey, just the same
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am YETI BOB: It's still summer until Sep 22 (Equinox), don't believe the hype!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am melinda: Matewan was a great movie. Harlan County USA is the documentary that partially inspired Matewan and also worth watching.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. I will look for that.
	♥ 10:42am TDK60: Brendan: I have a pals up in Wheeling and Weirton. // Morphe, luckily Sayles made some great ones: The Secret of Roan Inish, The Brother from Another Planet, Men With Guns, etc. I need to see more of his...
	10:42am Tyler: LL Cool J sampled right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Ehrenreich did a follow up book on the lousiness of white collar jobs too. "Bait and Switch"
	10:43am morphe': KPX - WHAT? WHERE? Rooming House???? Sounds like 1870???
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @kpx: No, it's always in front of you so you remember it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Webhamster Henry: I saw Sayles a few years ago introducing and discussing Men With Guns, one of my favorite movies, along with Lone Star and a few others of his.
	10:44am The Librarian: @kpx - my neighbors still use coal. They put their ashes out and the town collects to use on roads when it snows. A very healthy alternative. (hard eye roll)
	10:46am morphe': TDK - yeah - I've seen them all - showed Brother from Another Planet while teaching ... even went to see obscure plays he wrote that never made the screen .. never spoke with him ..
	♥ 10:46am Barney Grubbs: @morphe’ I’d believe it—I used to take visitors to see the cornell brain collection, which you could build up in all sorts of ways, but in reality turns out to be a bunch of forlorn brains sitting around in jars. I hope I can visit Bentham & his wax head one of these days en.m.wikipedia.org...
	10:48am johnk77: the grace jones featured the riddim section of sly & robbie w/mikey chung on guitar thanks again selecter
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @johnk77: Thanks for the info!
	♥ 10:50am TDK60: Golly Joe, you have the most interesting WFMU comments board sometimes.
	♥ 10:50am Asheville Jon: is the show over already?
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Jon: Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am McGroovey: Shiw sounds great today. I'm listening while eating a bowl of cereal and drinking my coffee in Rochester.
	10:56am Kpx: Thanks Joe, it's even got the old time cut stone work that's fitted together for the foundation. @the librarian: kewl!. @Morphe: yeah the house was built somewhere around the turn of the century, and it's in north Jersey. But now the house is owned by a slumlord and the place is a dump
	10:56am rw: Joe, you have this 45? I'm jealous. Not surprised, but jealous. Good morning and thank you for the music!!
	♥ 10:56am chresti: Hi Joe and party! Listening from the tennis booth in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: I want my little wing-head!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am melinda: Brother from Another Planet is great, good soundtrack too, my intro to Lee 'Scratch' Perry
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @rw: Sure thing! I was lucky enough to find this for $2 in a pile of '90s 45s.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am PaulRobeson1920: When Paul Robeson’s father lost his Church in Princeton NJ, he became an ash man to support his family… one of the only jobs open to Black People at the time, (porter, laborer, dock worker, cook, Night Soil collector…) to paraphrase C.Wright Mills- a sociological imagination allows the possessor to grasp the intersection of Biography and history and the relations between the two within society… Paul’s father would dump the coal ash behind their home
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am PaulRobeson1920: A Clean Coal job!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @melinda: If you missed it, check out Duane's archive from last week. Amazing Lee Perry special.
	♥ 11:01am Franco Twinkie: In the movie Blank Generation by Amos Poe, Little Johnny Jewel steals a television and runs down the street. One could argue that robbing people is a form of labor, Difficult for some, natural as breathing for others. What is labor, and who decides what has value and what is a suspect pursuit that doesn't benefit society?
	11:01am DannyBoyNYC: Yowza, had no idea that the WFMU app was available for my laptop until now. As the kids say - Game Changer!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am PaulRobeson1920: @DannyBoy! The Pipes!!!
	11:04am rw: Nice record flipping. I hardly noticed!
	11:04am Avrilinmay: @sydnius @10:13 : no idea about Jamaican(and caribbean music in general) but definitely exist (at the very least) two songs I know of, on the subject, from the other side of the globe. If anyone's interested : Redeyef by Bendirman. and Labess by Neyssatou (which is less explicitly tied to the subject than the first), that can be found on soundcloud
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am melinda: @Joe I will, thanks for the reminder
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am YETI BOB: Franco Twinkie: So that movie influenced both Richard Hell (Blank Generation) and Tom Verlaine (Little Johnny Jewel)? Maybe I should watch it.
	♥ 11:07am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone
	♥ 11:08am TDK60: Have to leave show early. Thanks Monday Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am Brian in UK: Billy Bremner was also a rugged Scottish footballer who played for Leeds United. Hard man.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am Brian in UK: Bring it on!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am tadpoles: Gotta have us some Love!
	11:11am Kpx: . Have a good day TDK.
	♥ 11:11am Heidee: Hello dear people! Happy summer greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am Brian in UK: The Doors oh yeah.
	♥ 11:11am Asheville Jon: Joe, you feeling ok today? You sound a little off this morning, tired/head cold/stuffy?
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am PaulRobeson1920: Oh yes oh yes
	♥ 11:11am Heidee: Brian clocked it after 2 seconds
	11:12am headcleaner: How can you -not- love this group?
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: "The Doors"? never heard of them. were they famous?
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am YETI BOB: Hallo Heidelberg Heidi!
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Thank you, Joe!! Like a breath of fresh air
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Jon: A bit froggy, yes! But I feel fine.
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: good to hear Joe!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: Yetti Bob, Amos Poe merely documented the nascent downtown NYC music scene. I saw it at Filmex in L.A. in 1978. The segment with Television was a mini comedy featuring Little Jonny Jewel.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am YETI BOB: Franco - OIC - that sounds like fun - I'll check it out.
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Add Joe McG to the Pro-doors column w/ Iggy & Bowie & Alice & Mazzy & Bunnymen & me.
	♥ 11:14am Heidee: Hi Yeti Bob! Nice to see you and to be back. Been enjoying my summer holidays. How are things with you?
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am tadpoles: Arthur Lee told Jac Holzman to check out The Doors.....was apprehensive at first. I always thought recent group The Dawes were a bit cheeky.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: This is a spring song. I should have played "Indian Summer"!
	♥ 11:15am Stanley: Hi Joe and all here. Got to admit I'm always a bit non-plussed with The Doors. (Am I allowed to say this?)
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am YETI BOB: Heidee - I'm fine, today is a day off (US holiday), we're going to go out for a little drive once my wife is up & ready.
	11:15am Kpx: Asheville Jon: were they famous! Goodun.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Officer Pupp: I can generally take or leave The Doors (outside of their stellar singles of course) but that was pretty great.
	♥ 11:16am Asheville Jon: i really like the two post-Morrison albums, and the various solo & post Doors projects by the other members. Really liked Manzarek stuff. Saw Robbie Krieger is a dive bar outside Philly a hundred million years ago
	11:16am Andres: Hello! So Johnny Jewel (Glass Candy, etc) borrowed the name I guess.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am YETI BOB: It's OK to not like things. Just don't be a jerk about it.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Stanley: Sure, Stanley. I guess besides loving or loathing them there's always the "don't care" option!
	♥ 11:17am Franco Twinkie: Joe, I too was a desciple of Elektra. The first record I ever bought with my own money was 7&7 Is by Love, when I was eleven years old in the summer of 1966.
	♥ 11:17am Roberto: Nonplussed essentially means blown away.
	11:18am Jack: Is this Rhinoceres that did "Apricot Brandy"? Billy Mundi drums? (the pop-up player is showing "Best of the monkees")
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Jack: Yes, one and the same. It's on this LP!
	11:18am Joe B: Hey Joe! sounding great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: Rhinoceros, kind of Elektra house band.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am tadpoles: Elektra always had great heavy weight gate-fold covers.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am PaulRobeson1920: Waiting, waiting, waiting…Waiting for you to, come along… Waiting for you to, hear my song Brilliant and bright and always fresh
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @Franco: Wow, what a great first record!! @Joe B: Thanks, Joe!
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Musics is much like Foods (& in several ways.) No way any Menu can please everyone. Whatever it is. The main thing is being brave & forthcoming enuff to admit your tastes ...first, & especilally, to oneself.
	♥ 11:19am Franco Twinkie: Ashville Jon, I saw that version of The Doors at The Hollywood Bowl with Tim Buckley and Frank Zappa.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am yerfriendpaul: I’d like to register here as a Doors appreciator.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: Apparently Jac H. didn't think much of Rhinoceros, but the band did 3 LPs for the label. Paul Rothchild liked them.
	11:20am Jack: I love the Doors. They were great! And yes, Jim Morrison was an asshole!
	♥ 11:20am chresti: Franco! The engine light is on..
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am yerfriendpaul: Jack - ha ha!
	11:20am headcleaner: Which philly dive bar, Asheville Jon? I miss the grime in that city
	♥ 11:20am Franco Twinkie: The little one?
	♥ 11:20am Stanley: Thanks Yeti. Just that I always feel a bit awkward expressing negative opinions, however mild. Not that my opinion should mean anyhing.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& - 'I just like it' - or Not - is a perfectly legit Critique ...*as far as it goes.
	♥ 11:21am Heidee: @RevRab @11:19 Well put!
	♥ 11:22am Asheville Jon: cool Franco! i have a few post-morrison concert bootlegs, listen to them somewhat frequently. oh my gawd headcleaner, i don't recall. it was in the late 80's i think. i think it was up 611 maybe near new hope.
	♥ 11:23am chresti: "service engine soon"
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: I remember John Peel bring quoted something on the lines of Merzbow's music. He did not care for it but would defend to the death the right for it to be heard.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am YETI BOB: Stanley - I hear ya - I often stop myself when I'm about to express a negative opinion, thinking: "does this make the chatboard a more fun and lively place, or not?"
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am YETI BOB: Also - if WFMU only played music I liked, I don't think I would like it!!
	♥ 11:24am Franco Twinkie: I'll call you in a minute Chresti.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: Hello Stanley. Does the sun shine in your (Morrisonless) world?
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMU has made me really cognizant of how much Context matters. The same painting in another museum would be...
	11:25am Avrilinmay: @Franco Twinkie @11:19 : LUCKY
	11:25am Kpx: It's perfectly fine to say you like the doors, and at the same time say that Morrison was a complete ass.
	11:26am Jack: I'm sorry; I didn't mean to come across as so opinionated, about the Doors. Their MUSIC was (and is) great. And yes, Ray Manzarek was also an asshole!
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am steveo: i like that, Rev
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Not sure if Morrison was a complete ass. Think he was still training when he died.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): enjoying this set! also: CHRESTIKINS!
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No a-holes in Rawk ! ...that leaves ...lessee ...urm - give me a minute...
	11:27am Joe B: Anyone remember the time Glen Jones hung up on Manzarek? dude was being such a jerk, Jonesy had enough and ended the interview after about 5 minutes!
	11:27am Andres: Beginning sounded like we were about to bust into some Boney M! Which I also enjoy along with The Doors.
	♥ 11:27am Roberto: Not an asshole: John Densmore, with whom I was in an improv class in the late '80s.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): RevRab: ha HA!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am tadpoles: #Andres....ditto.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am YETI BOB: Joe B: Damn, I missed that
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am ChrisB.: @JoeB. Oh yeah! Ray's answer to every question was "Read the book."
	♥ 11:29am Stanley: Yeti -exactly. However, I reserve the right to express a (hopefully light-hearted) tongue-in-chek view when I'm sitting through some obscure and 'challenging' composition, like 10 minutes of gum being chewed, for example.
	♥ 11:29am spodiodi: Joe B, that sounds priceless. olo
	♥ 11:29am Stanley: But, of course, I shall defend to the death the DJ's right to play it.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Stanley: totally with you there!
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am steveo: lyric was "that's my hang-up -- to be free" as i was reading that comment about jonesy above :D
	11:30am Joe B: Chris B - yes!
	♥ 11:30am Asheville Jon: Glen Jones / Manzarek show: wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am YETI BOB: Right on Stanley
	11:30am Joe B: thanks Jon!
	♥ 11:30am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Would recommend either or both Becoming Elektra by Mick Houghton Follow the Music Jac Holtzman & Gavin Daws!!
	11:31am Jack: @Ashville Jon: thank you!
	♥ 11:31am Stanley: Hi Brian - there is always a little less sunshine in my (Morrisonless) world.
	♥ 11:31am Asheville Jon: Sure thing Joe. I haven't heard it, so i just had to find it!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am PaulRobeson1920: Yeah! Hahaha I gotta hear that
	11:31am jg: Great show today joe. Perfect September mood. Especially the doors
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): trying to think of notable folx I have met who weren't assholes, and none of them could be classified as rock stars. Les Paul is the closest I can think of. He was really nice. And Robert Moog. Not rock, though.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Jg: Ah, glad you're enjoying it. I was in the mood for some Elektra Records records this morning.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Stanley, could be worse, it could be a Morrissey world.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bob Dorough, super nice. Not rock.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Depends. Sometimes the answer for me is - tune out. Sometimes - the intention of the Artist is Irritainmnent in the 1st place. OK - Art does that too. Sometimes - debating tastes & merits of works makes fun & lively comments anyhow. Different - somehow - from just farting & being miserable @ the party & bringing everyone down... Mostly - where FMU is concerned - nobody needs a Troll who - as I put it - complains it isn't Cake when it clearly says Soup on the door of the shop...
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Weird Al. Asshole. Rock star?
	♥ 11:33am Stanley: Haha, Brian. You are so right!
	11:33am Joe B: wow great version here. new to me
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @JoeB: Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to do a bad version of this one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah, I'm digging the extra twang on this one
	♥ 11:34am Franco Twinkie: Two Elektra bands that got a lot of airplay in L.A. were Clear Light and Crabby Appleton. Black Roses was a modest presence on the AM radio, but Go Back was huge.
	11:35am Joe B: good point Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am DjLorraine: These Days used to make me cry. I appreciate this version.
	♥ 11:35am Stanley: Lovely pick, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Webhamster Henry: A good inspiration for one of Mary Wing's 3 of a kind sets!
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: @Franco: Whoops, forgot Crabby, Capitol City Rockets, and Wackers. Have all that stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WebHam: oooohhhh!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am officina: Another lovely show, Joe! Also had a coal miner grandfather who succumbed to black lung, though in Wyoming. Nasty way to go.
	♥ 11:36am spodiodi: Rev Rabbit @11:32, i love "Irritainment" :^D
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am McGroovey: Me talking to myself: "Who is this? Oh, Ian Matthews. I should get this record. ... Oh, wait, I think I already have it! I should play it. When I get home."
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Webhamster Henry: why did I call you WebHam??!?! I'm laughing til I cry here. Another sip of caffeine ought to help!
	11:37am Andres: Lovely version that Ian Matthews!
	♥ 11:37am Stanley: And this Jeanie Greene trundles along very nicely.
	11:38am modern blaze: ✌🏻
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: Wonder if we will hear some Mickey Newbury.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: We will!
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Favourites do not fade.
	11:40am Kpx: Joe b, Jack, Asheville Jon, never heard that manzarek was an asshole. But I'm going to get an idea why when I click on AJ's link. L8ter
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: This album is an alltime favourite in this house.
	11:41am egould310: Thanks for the tunes, Joe M. It’s been a nice holiday Monday where I can lay in bed and listen and doze. Now it’s time to wake up, stretch and go for a run. Nice and cool and grey in Seattle this morning. Perfect running weather.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I witnessed my a-hole beau (EX) being an a-hole to Peter Wolf, who was actually being rather nice. Peter got pissed and left in a huff, which was quite appropriate.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: spodi : 'Irritainment' has been in the FMU vocabulary for some time.
	♥ 11:42am Franco Twinkie: Of course Television was an Elektra band - they fit the profile nicely, and a few years later X. I don't think Jack had anything to do with bringing either band into the fold, but in my cosmology they sure as hell were Elektra bands.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am tadpoles: Syncronicity...Ian Matthews sang the original "No Man's Land" on Fairport's second LP. Great show Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am bk845: Quick question for the group...Should I fly an American flag on Labor Day?
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Joe, you made an old man happy!!! Great show.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @egould: Thanks for tuning in!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): All the Elvis groupies in Pam DeBarre's interviews book said he was really nice.
	♥ 11:44am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS! I say "WebHam" too, sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins: OK, maybe I got it from you. :-D
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): sometimes I look at what I just posted and wonder what I was thinking, even though the app gives you a chance to preview your quip before you dump it onto the group. ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am McGroovey: I just had the same conversation with myself about the Mickey Newberry record.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Rhinoceros play back up on this album.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am McGroovey: Ooh, but I don't have the David Ackles record, and I have a day free in Rochester, and two of the biggest used record stores anywhere are within 20 minutes of here ...
	♥ 11:50am Franco Twinkie: Elektra was a scrappy underdog in the 60's. Two bands they courted that slipped away were Moby Grape, which were snagged by Columbia, and ouch, Buffalo Springfield which was wined and dined by Atco. Love um' or hate um' The Doors came out swinging and made the kiddies sit up and take notice of the big E.
	11:50am Andres: This David Ackles a beaut! Will have to check out more.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Officer Pupp: This David Ackles is gorgeous.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Webhamster Henry: @Mx BababBee: I wonder why people don't abbreviate my handle to "WHHenry". The old original WFMU website used to call me "WebMonster". web.archive.org...
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: @Andres: Highly recommend all 4 of his albums, the first 3 on Elektra.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: The Doors were Elektra's first No.1.
	♥ 11:52am chresti: Thanks Joe! It's Labor Day madness here today..
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Webhamster Henry: An Elektra Records promo ad (with David Ackles) jhhl.net...
	♥ 11:53am Franco Twinkie: Chresti, I'll call you after Joe's show is over, so sit tight.
	11:53am Brendan: @Joe, Thanks for the labor of love of this and the many holiday shows you worked, including the old Thursday Thanksgiving shows.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Webhamster Henry: Hmm that's the Judy Collins one. I'll have to poke around some more..
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Wow, maybe I need to do another Elektra special. I barely played half of what I brought! @Brendan: Thanks so much! It's a pleasure to be here week after week, even on holidays.
	11:54am The Butterman: Thanks for another fine show Mr. McGasko.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - Morning became Elektra...
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: @RR63: Thanks! You just named the show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: How about Mining Becomes Elektra?
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I got the Forever Changing box even...
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Joe, you know it makes sense.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am yerfriendpaul: Great show, Joe! Really enjoyed it. Have a good Labor Day, gang!
	♥ 11:55am spodiodi: Joe, thanks for the Luxurious Labor Lektra set!
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WebHenry Haha !!
	♥ 11:56am Stanley: Fine show, Joe. Many thanks. Later, everyone.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mining Becomes Elektra
	11:56am Andres: Thank you, Joe! Looking forward to Part 2! Happy Labour Day, friends!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: @Webmaster: Wow, now that's good!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone! Have a great Labor Day and a great week!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for your labor today, Joe!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG.
	11:57am Jack: Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am alanSixº: Woke up for the last half hour and glad I made it - thanks gentleman joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am McGroovey: My friend had a metal band in the nineties in NYC called Rhinocervs. He hadn't heard of Rhinoceros yet when he named the band. The V was meant to be a stylized U (they were the same letter in Latin). It seemed like a good idea at the time. The music my friend plays now is more like the old Rhinoceros.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am PaulRobeson1920: Thank you for the Labor of love, Joe! Great Show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Marley P. Dogg: Great show as always!!!! Thanks Joe!!!
	♥ 11:59am Franco Twinkie: This was a real treat Joe, thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Wow, thanks, Joe! Great program!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Webhamster Henry: OK the tiny bit of Ackles is in this Gavin & Woloshin medley: jhhl.net...
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am melinda: thx Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Joe and Surface Noise Yippers!
