	🎸 ♥ 9:17am Webhamster Henry: I think in my market, Sugar Sugar was the #1 hit of 1969 - but the DJs on the top 10 countdown were too embarrassed to play it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Webhamster Henry: @tadpoles "My God, it's Ilioo!" <<<Life Magazine article on the Man from U.N.C.L.E.
	9:18am Listener Robert: Too bad that recording of "So Happy Together" fades out before the switch to major key. It's only about 1 bar, but it gets me.

	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: No, not ironic. I genuinely love these versions.
	9:30am RC: I never comment here, but I'm tempted to register an account. Just wanted to drop in and say thank you Joe. Somehow you always play just the right thing at just the right time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Handy Haversack: Ha, Stanley with le mot juste!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am PKNY: Had to look up info on this Dick Hyman record. First track is "Put Your Hand in the Hand", will have to see if there's one online, curious if it opens with drums
	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Many thanks for saying hello, RC!
	9:30am Listener Robert: Wow, searching just now to see if anybody else remarks about that ending of "Happy Together", I see there's actually a technical term for it!: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am karlward: Joe McGasko, the gateway drug
	9:31am Juli: Yeah they are pleasant haha
	9:31am ChrisB.: Who switched the station to LuxuriaMusic while I was out of the room?
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Krys O.: My mom listened to Beautiful Music/Easy Listening stations in the late 60s/early 70s and I enjoyed them too.
	9:32am Juli: Tune in Drop Out Dial turned? Ugh I need motivation pills Joe Put something fast on haha
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Many years ago I used to listen to a show on University of Lowell (WJUL...I think) called "Martinis With Mancini." Love this!

	9:33am Juli: Pretty please lol
	♥ 9:33am TDK60: Bud Shank was groovy; did an LP with Ravi Shankar.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am karlward: Dig that stereo

	9:34am Juli: Wah wah pedal on pointe
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Webhamster Henry: Once, trying to get WFMU-FM on the radio, always difficult, I got WPAT and thought Irwin was doing some kind of easy listening set.
	9:34am Juli: Haha yeah I need to hear some noise music sorry BRB haha
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am PKNY: Didn't know this Tony Mottola record either. It's the last track, explains why he took it down to a "closing time" pace
	♥ 9:34am Stanley: I love this music and I'm glad to be amongst understanding friends.
	9:35am Juli: It is pretty but I am not getting anything done but smiling at the screen hehe
	♥ 9:35am Asheville Jon: this music makes me feel like i'm shopping for wranglers at kmart
	♥ 9:35am Greg from ZONE 5: KILLER opening set, JMC.
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Greg!
	♥ 9:36am dave wuz here: continuous soft hits. ouch.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am PKNY: This type of stuff are some of the only records that you can still regularly find for a $1
	9:36am Erin in TO: I'm back at work after a week off recovering from Covid, and this set is just the easy thing I needed for this transition
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Did Esquivel do any Beatles covers, I wonder?
	9:37am river: @erin same here, helpful calm for my piles and piles of emails
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Glad you're feeling better, Erin!
	9:38am RC: This is my second comment (and last before I register) but I urge those of you who seem to be kind of cranky about the music selection to try and understand that this is actually amazing, thematically, sonically.
	9:38am Erin in TO: @river ugh that's always the worst
	9:38am rx scabin: Good Morning, everyone. Joe, how do you know exactly what to play?
	9:39am Erin in TO: @Joe McG thanks Joe! WFMU got me through my isolation, helps me feel connected even when stuck inside.
	♥ 9:39am TDK60: I'm glad you recovered, Erin in TO.
	♥ 9:39am pgalub: Hello Joe and everyone on the magical Monday elevator.
	♥ 9:39am Lord Jimz: I agree RC! Perfect for Monday morning..Ease into insanity.
	♥ 9:40am Guido from Cologne: Nice German production of that kind (intended for the UK and US market originally): www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am Strandlund: @Erin...Today is my last day of isolation...back to work tomorrow for me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am Handy Haversack: Glad you're on the mend, Erin in TO and Strandlund.
	♥ 9:41am mariano: I love this too, great way to start the day. I feel like I'm in a dentist's waiting room in the 60s... in the best possible way. 'Morning, Joe, everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am Strandlund: Thanks Handy!! I've been wearing a mask so our cats don't catch it.
	9:41am rx scabin: @Guido from Cologne my uncle had a lot of records from Germany that were similar to these.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am DjLorraine: Trust us...it's music.. hehe
	9:42am Erin in TO: @Strandlund feels good to get back in the world, glad you're better! And thanks for the well wishes Handy and TDK!
	9:42am Listener Robert: Now that I've looked into it, I see that Picardy 3rd at the end of "Happy Together" is just another example of these knowing things in art wherein the artist puts in something meaningful that shows they've studied a lot and that they know some, though maybe not many, of its receivers will "get". Creative things, no matter how lowbrow people may think they are, are chock full of that stuff for people to notice.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am Handy Haversack: I've been working from home since mid-December. I think I might brave the subways and go back in on Wed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am karlward: All Gussied Up
	9:44am Steve from Dunwoody: Back of this album shows the spy conducting: Music: A Bit More of Me https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004I5W54W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_P97SF1YM16ZQF2CHP9R0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
	♥ 9:44am TDK60: Listener Robert, that Picardy 3rd is basically a major chord after a section of minors? Happy ending?
	9:45am Erin in TO: @Handy Haversack I've been working from home since March 2020, but I go in once a week for tasks that can't be done at home. My one day in the office is such a nice break in the week
	9:45am banksy68: Plantasia is one of the best recordings of the last century
	9:45am Paul in the OC: From the liner notes of Music…a Part Of Me there’s a note that McCallum was an English Horn player. This instrument figures prominently in the Barnum/Axelrod arrangements so one thinks that’s ol’ Dave on the double reeds. Certainly sold more albums with his pic on the cover!
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am melinda: yay Mort
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am dday: @WoodsofNH. Have you ever listened to "The Retro Cocktail Hour" produced by WKPR (public, listener support radio). Fun late 50's through mid 60's Space age retro tiki : www.retrococktail.org
	♥ 9:48am Jaydot Kaydot: Motion Pictures: The NOW Generation has a killer cover too: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Ronnie "Four Arms" Aldrich? Yeah, Erin, I'm worried I'm getting to used to just sitting at hoe now -- gotta make myself get out in the world again.
	9:48am Jack: I used to be a big fan of Tony Mottola, my friends thought I was crazy.
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am dday: @Jack. My Dad's Mottola LP's on Command Records was the reason I picked up the guitar
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @dday: No, but it's on my radar now. Thanks!
	♥ 9:49am mariano: 'Morning, Handy. You sure the little panthers would let you leave the house? Meanwhile, as you worry about getting too used to being home, I've just ordered myself a bed desk. Soon I'll be like one of the old folks in Willie Wonka.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: Tony Mottola: amazing guitarist!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: The emperor works as the emperor deems meet! Leaving the kittens is actually really hard! K8's been back in schools a couple of days a week and e-mails to check on the kittens frequently. Though I made the mistake of putting laundry in the laundry bag too close to Bugbear the other day and he opened my middle finger from tip to root! The stakes are always high around here!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe, everyone!
	9:53am Bags: Loved that last string of tunes
	9:55am Pomvanroy: Jeez. This takes me back...
	9:55am Dayvid: Where’s me jumper!
	♥ 9:56am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:57am Stanley: Jumpers for goalposts.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @Stanley: Always wondered why they were called jumpers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Krys O.: @DJLorraine 9:10 : Thanks! That's very kind of you.
	♥ 10:00am Stanley: Wooly jumper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: Now I feel like every song was featured in an episode of The Young Ones that I can't remember!
	♥ 10:02am common: @handy: just thinking the same thing
	♥ 10:02am mariano: Sounds like you and K8 need a couple of those animal-training outfits, Handy: www.schutzhund-training-store.com... Never know, could become a thing. Aren't we due for a big-clothes revival about now?
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am Handy Haversack: This is not my beautiful house.
	10:04am ACIDCAJUAL88: Yo Jesus lizard at Redding festival was “best of all”at the FESTIVAL!!!!
	♥ 10:05am TDK60: Mariano: Thankfully! I've been struggling with these extra tight jeans for years now.
	10:05am Juli: I stayed tuned in Nice set too
	♥ 10:06am Glorious Estephonic: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	10:06am Dayvid: @Joe Mg I’ve always wondered why they are called sweaters
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Yowza! Sorry about that RE Bugbear.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Dayvid: Ha! I just learned the UK usage of 'jumper' about a year ago. Curiously, from watching a couple travel around the canals on a narrowboat.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Dayvid: Ha, because when you wear them you sweat a lot. :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: @Joe: I was hoping for some Ian Dury! Now throw in some John Cooper Clarke and my joy will be complete
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Okay...workday started, shower and clean clothes achieved....must caffienate shortly. Keep these sweet tunes going! I have some light reading--about a thousand pages of legal briefs/filings--to read in the next few days, gotta get stuck in...
	10:10am Juli: I miss coffee I am out of money haha Don't get my started Getting paid Friday lol Lemme see what change I have haha
	10:10am Juli: Let's manifest our dreamsss And coffee
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: "What bodies need in general terms/Is food and clothes and free of germs"
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am YETI BOB: Absolute genius
	10:10am Juli: And coffee!
	♥ 10:11am mariano: TDK60: Right? Even when I had a 32-inch waist I didn't like tight clothes. Yet more evidence I was born in the wrong era. Look at how Henry VIII lucked out, being born into an era that knew how to drape men of more ample carriage. Some guys have all the luck, I tells ya.
	10:12am Dayvid: Now I’m curious about the origins of the word myself. 🤔 it is a bit strange when you think about it
	10:12am ACIDCAJUAL88: Vivian would say” Neil wash your body you stupid sod!” It’s the bloody buggery body song!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Juli: Time to open that store front! ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 10:12am karlward: I would buy some Autotune for Swamp Dogg, he should have just asked me
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am dday: YETTI BOB: John Cooper Clarke..great friend of Bruce Thomas (Attractions bassist)
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: Sometimes asking for help is the hardest part, karlward.
	10:13am Dayvid: @woodsofnh why are you spying on couple in there boats?! You better watch out, you’ll get arrested for that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Will the Sound Guy: @ACIDCAJUAL88 I was happy I saw Jesus Lizard at Irving Plaza, It was the Dec 9th show in 2017... Yow went crowd surfing right over top of me 2 times... I was standing almost next to Ian MacKaye... It was an amazing show!!! Every song was a banger. The band looked genuinely impressed with how many people were there.
	10:15am Blix: In a better world, Dre and the rest of the 90s rappers would invite Swamp Dog onstage for 2 minutes at the Super Bowl Halftime show.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Fun WFMU Fact: The Jesus Lizard is Thomas Storck's favorite band ever!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am LastWhiteRhino: That is a fun fact !
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Mike Sin: "Your body rocks mine in rhythmic ecstasy" -- I can't believe I never had the chance to use that line when I was single! Where was Swamp Dogg when I needed him?! Hey there Joe!
	♥ 10:16am TDK60: I was in the shower when someone defined Jumper as used by the English. Bouncy platform shoes?
	♥ 10:17am βrian: It's a sweater.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am drr: Saw Swamp Dogg live in Brooklyn a few years back...fantastic show. He wore a mint green three piece suit.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @Mike: "Two apples fighting to get off a tree" is an amazing description of someone's butt! @Blix: Totally! The man is a national treasure.
	10:19am Listener Alexandra: I thought you'd dig this one, Joe ;)
	10:19am Mike W.: Fielding
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: @Alex: I like the B, too! :)
	10:20am Listener Alexandra: Right on!
	♥ 10:20am TDK60: βrian, Thanks. A sweater? The English are odd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Dayvid: Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am YETI BOB: I've heard "jumper" used in the USA too, I don't think it's purely UK usage
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am YETI BOB: especially when referring to kid's clothing
	♥ 10:23am TDK60: Yeti, you're such a patriot.
	♥ 10:23am Phillippe: When I was a kid, my mom referred to a type of dress my sister wore as a jumper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Will the Sound Guy: BTW, Joe you're killin it this morning!!!
	♥ 10:24am mariano: Careful how you use the word "pants" in the UK too, fellow Yanks. And of course "fanny."
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am YETI BOB: TDK60: I'm pretty disillusioned with the USA right now but don't get me started
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Unrelated to the music at hand, but it might interest folks around here to know that I interviewed Harvey Sid Fisher! bostonhassle.com...
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Oscar: Wow, cool!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am LastWhiteRhino: Is a romper the same as a jumper???
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, the narrowboat dude said that it was chilly and he had to get out his "chunky jumper"...had no idea what he was talking about.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am karlward: Oh no
	♥ 10:26am Phillippe: @LWR it looks like a jumper in the US is a dress worn over a blouse.
	♥ 10:26am mariano: chunky_jumper sounds like an old AOL handle.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Jonesy, after playing a long set of Meatloaf, addressed the topic of musical snobbery. It was entertaining.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am Jason from Houston: Meat Load
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: I like the horns on this one! :)
	10:27am TomTom: Hot patootie, bless my soul Really love that Rock and Roll
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jason! Your note was a real pick-me-up -- thanks, pal!
	♥ 10:28am annie: see? i walk out of the chat room and what happens? all chaos breaks loose.. oy!
	10:28am SyndProd: @WoodsofNH (now Maine): When was that? I'd like to find it in the archives. Thanks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am YETI BOB: Woods: Is it possible to just not like Meat Loaf without being a snob? (asking for a friend)
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Jason from Houston: Ahhh! Good news, Handy! Here's to a good week for you.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: Lou Marini, Bones Malone!
	10:29am johnk77: seeing mr. loaf live made me more of a fan rock in power
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am PKNY: Rock 'n Roll and Brew!
	10:29am Blix: It's well worth your time to look up the recent story in the Irish press telling the story of Meat Loaf's mid-80s rural Ireland tour. Really funny version in Louder.
	10:30am eva: good morning-y’all.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Meat Snob
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Heh. You know, I was not a fan back in the day. Strangely, I kind of enjoyed the set that Jonesy played. Maybe it just makes me remember when I was 17?
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @SyndProd: Yesterday
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gotta duck out for a bit; need some Deep Reading Noise in the background instead....see you all later on the boards!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Webhamster Henry: Come for the Meat Loaf, stay for the Todd Rundgren
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am The Oscar: "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" was one of my favorite songs to play on the jukebox at my local pizza place in college. The guys there HATED me.
	10:33am davefromtoronto: probably wasn't too funny to them...
	♥ 10:35am TDK60: WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You went to UK and saw the canal boats? Did you ride? I saw them during a visit though I didn't get on one.
	10:35am rx scabin: Joe McG restrained in what sense?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @TDK60: Many, many youtube channels.
	♥ 10:37am Stanley: I was afraid of this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am karlward: I wish we were in the other timeline, the one where Jim Steinman got Barry White to do Bat Out of Hell
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @karlward: I think you just blew my mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am karlward: I've been there, and everything about that timeline is better
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Handy Haversack: There are other timelines?
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am PKNY: So was the "Bat" Overture the B-side to "Paradise" (checking Discogs)? In any event, what a weird edit to put on a 45
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am PMD: @Blix I will do so! Damn... was hoping for Bat out of Hell...
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @PKNY: Yes!
	10:41am Dean from Old Bridge: groovin
	♥ 10:42am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies! Checking in from the tennis booth (currently under siege by a leaf blower outside)
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @chresti: I actually firmly believe that leaf blowers should be banned nationwide. Apologies to crews that find them useful. I hate them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Is this the voice you use at 9:42 on Tuesdays?
	10:43am Jack: Joe, is this the "Ed Ames" of the famous Johhny Carson Tonight Show tomahawk throw?
	♥ 10:44am Cal Zone!: Ed Ames has issues!
	♥ 10:44am Joe McG: @Jack: Yes, it is!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Handy Haversack: In some timelines, Woods. In some timelines. I know I have heard this before, but I can't place where.
	10:44am Jack: I agree with you in re: leafblowers
	♥ 10:45am Cal Zone!: Ed Ames of the Ames Brothers! Maybe he should ask his brothers for answers?
	♥ 10:45am Carmichael: Heya Joe, just in time for Ed Ames!
	10:45am johnk77: never a big jesus lizard fan but they rocked it live at the lollapalooza/line up of losers randalls island/downing stadium in the before times 199x
	10:45am Rick A: Good Morning Joe and All, Yes, Carson's response after the throw was, "I didn't know you were Jewish."
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Jason from Houston: OHHHHH SHOOOOT
	10:45am Erin in TO: That Ed Ames track was amazing, goosebumps!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:46am duke: I remember Linda doing this song on the Muppet show.
	♥ 10:46am Phillippe: who gets up to play tennis at 7:30? Who even gets up before 7:30?
	♥ 10:46am Andrew Waterloo: @duke.. yah.. I waiting for the ribbits to start
	♥ 10:46am Therese: I feel like Linda Ronstadt does not get nearly enough love on WFMU
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am dday: "Everyone saw the same act that I saw, but then nobody saw it the same way I saw. In my mind this was the genius spoof of Bruce Springsteen that the world so desperately needed. The hyperbolic lyrics about motorcycles & switchblades, the simple triads of the music, the melodrama, the mysterious Svengali at the piano, all fronted not by a hunky denim clad stud but a 250-pound wild man whose head might explode any second. I was sold." Todd Rundgren from the book "The Individualist"

	🎸 ♥ 10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Carmichael: Yeah, I saw a short doc on her not too long ago. Can no longer sing. Man, I saw her when she toured with 'Trio' and boyo, Blue Bayou brought the danged house down.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: You've gotta stop taping those quarters on top of cartridge.
	10:53am Patricia Beaman: Let's get back to Easy Listening, 24/7!!! Loving your sets--thanks Joe. Especially interested in The 18C Concepts.
	♥ 10:53am Carmichael: @johnk77, I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer in '77 and that was a buttload of pomp and grandeur.

	🎸 ♥ 11:09am karlward: Breaking: Mark Hurst was in a 90s boy band
	11:09am Rick A: Yes, he was throwing the tomahawk because he played a Native American character on the Daniel Boone show. Ames is still alive at 94.

	11:16am paul: Ed will always be Mingo to me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am dday: For some reason I thought Ed Ames was a pro wrestler for a stint in the early 60's. I saw a wrestling show when I was very young with my Dad & brother at the Paterson Armory & for some reason I think he was in the show program
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @paul: I've never seen the Daniel Boone show. Just the show with the other Boone, "Have Gun Will Travel." Paladin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am Handy Haversack: I know "Have Gun Will Travel" mainly from Stand By Me.
	11:20am paul: You're kidding, @Joe!
	11:21am paul: You people are young. :)
	♥ 11:21am chresti: Daniel Boone was a man, he was a greeeaat man.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @paul: Nope, it wasn't in syndication where I grew up. "Gunsmoke" wasn't, either. Saw a lot of "The Big Valley" and "Bonanza," though!
	♥ 11:21am Carmichael: I remember Paladin's business card had a chess piece on it.
	11:23am Brendan: Colloquially known as Dan’l Boone
	11:24am Gerry from Miami: JOE, your playing of that record earlier in your show that was "attributed" to David McCallum, who played a Russian on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.⁸, reminded me that he had a much lengthier stint in the role of British forensic coroner, "Ducky" Mallard, on the huge, long-running series, "NCIS," starring Mark Harmon. Showed no signs of any musical talent on either program.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Gerry: Ha ha. "Ducky" Mallard is an AMAZING name!
	11:27am Joe B: I still refer to mark harmon as "the guy from 'Summer School' "
	♥ 11:27am GR60: That Pneumatic Tubes song had a nice Jack Nitzsche vibe from the Performance soundtrack.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Ken From Hyde Park: What a Cyrillic typewriter looks like: typewriter.boardhost.com...

	🎸 ♥ 11:32am 12539: Dare I say how well this show is going?
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): In an alternate timeline, the pedal steel here would be played by Ted Nugent
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Ken: I love that there's a forum called "Typewriter Talk." Ever see that documentary about the typewriters where Tom Hanks shows off his collection?
	11:33am Brendan: Ethereal steel sounds
	11:34am paul: "Typewriter" is the longest word you can type using only the top row of letters on a typewriter.
	♥ 11:34am Rich in Washington: This is lovely. Cowboy Ambient. My new fave made up genre.
	11:35am Asparagus: I believe this jam is called the Saloon Corner, not Door ;)
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am PaulRobeson1920: Nice Show Joe McG
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Asparagus: Not sure who to believe! Discogs has Corner and Bandcamp has Door. When not having the physical media becomes a pain!
	11:37am prudy: So glad to hear Karen Peris again and looking forward to hearing the complete release...
	11:38am Dayvid: How about we just call it Salon Window then no one gets upset
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dayvid: Salon Dryer
	11:39am paul: Sail on Sailor
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Salon Perm?
	11:40am Dayvid: @Joe mG I’m good with that.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I haven't seen the doc, Joe. Now I'd like to find a forum that discusses what's printed on cars' shift indicators. "Put it in H!"
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Ken: Get busy, Ken, time to start one!
	11:43am TwinDaddy: Tasty tunes this morning Joe. Thanks
	♥ 11:44am Carmichael: I thought this was Natalie Merchant until I looked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: Ken: Just learned something new: "That’s what’s known in the automotive world as the “prindle,” the pronunciation that engineers bestowed on the transmission gear selector because it commonly contained the letters PRNDL for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low."
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @Carm: She actually reminds me a bit of Lucinda Williams. But different.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am karlward: Request for a Radio Row show named PRNDL hosted by YETI BOB and Ken From Hyde Park
	♥ 11:45am nathan: extremely relatable sentiment here, haha
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: I am relating like a mofo here, nathan.
	11:47am Dayvid: I was thinking Lucinda Williams too actually.
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am YETI BOB: karlward: thanks! that sounds like fun.
	11:48am Dayvid: Love you too Lou.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou! Joe, I like how we get an "Oh, fuck!" within about 20 seconds on the first track of this "album."
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am JG: So Joe, this Lou Reed record was released for ten minutes and then it was gone? How would one find this? Is it possible? Thanks
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @JG: I think it's floating around the Internetz, but yeah, it was a copyright dump sort of situation. Great, though!
	♥ 11:51am mariano: Man from UNCLE also has an episode costarring Shatner and Nimoy pre-Trek. It's a great series, I should watch it again.
	11:51am paul: @JG, I looked for it on amazon and was asked "Did you mean Soy Free?"
	♥ 11:53am βrian: Soy libre?
	♥ 11:53am mariano: I think all Lou Reed records after 1970 are soy-free.
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks for the musical journey Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: JG and paul: You will need shadier corners of the internet than Amazon. It was released briefly on Itunes Europe and then removed by RCA just to extend the copyright. Actually, Itunes and Amazon are the shadiest parts of the internet. But reputation plays. Look in deeper places. Thanks, Joe! Just great stuff today. Stay on top, Surfactants!
	11:54am paul: Don't follow this with Oh What a Night. Please.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thank you kindly, Mr McGasko.
	♥ 11:54am βrian: Irene is poised on the cusp, on The Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everyone. Have a great week!

	🎸 ♥ 11:56am nortonjutland: thank you Joe !
	♥ 11:56am βrian: A lovely choral riff.

	11:56am Gerry from Miami: Nice stuff today, JOE! Top drawer! See ya next week!
	♥ 11:56am mariano: Thanks, Joe!

	♥ 11:58am chresti: Thanks Joe!

	9:34am Juli: Haha yeah I need to hear some noise music sorry BRB haha
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am PKNY: Didn't know this Tony Mottola record either. It's the last track, explains why he took it down to a "closing time" pace

	🎸 ♥ 9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Did Esquivel do any Beatles covers, I wonder?
	9:37am river: @erin same here, helpful calm for my piles and piles of emails
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Glad you're feeling better, Erin!
	9:38am RC: This is my second comment (and last before I register) but I urge those of you who seem to be kind of cranky about the music selection to try and understand that this is actually amazing, thematically, sonically.
	9:38am Erin in TO: @river ugh that's always the worst
	9:38am rx scabin: Good Morning, everyone. Joe, how do you know exactly what to play?
	9:39am Erin in TO: @Joe McG thanks Joe! WFMU got me through my isolation, helps me feel connected even when stuck inside.

	9:42am Erin in TO: @Strandlund feels good to get back in the world, glad you're better! And thanks for the well wishes Handy and TDK!
	9:42am Listener Robert: Now that I've looked into it, I see that Picardy 3rd at the end of "Happy Together" is just another example of these knowing things in art wherein the artist puts in something meaningful that shows they've studied a lot and that they know some, though maybe not many, of its receivers will "get". Creative things, no matter how lowbrow people may think they are, are chock full of that stuff for people to notice.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am Handy Haversack: I've been working from home since mid-December. I think I might brave the subways and go back in on Wed.

	♥ 9:44am TDK60: Listener Robert, that Picardy 3rd is basically a major chord after a section of minors? Happy ending?
	9:45am Erin in TO: @Handy Haversack I've been working from home since March 2020, but I go in once a week for tasks that can't be done at home. My one day in the office is such a nice break in the week
	9:45am banksy68: Plantasia is one of the best recordings of the last century
	9:45am Paul in the OC: From the liner notes of Music…a Part Of Me there’s a note that McCallum was an English Horn player. This instrument figures prominently in the Barnum/Axelrod arrangements so one thinks that’s ol’ Dave on the double reeds. Certainly sold more albums with his pic on the cover!
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am melinda: yay Mort
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am dday: @WoodsofNH. Have you ever listened to "The Retro Cocktail Hour" produced by WKPR (public, listener support radio). Fun late 50's through mid 60's Space age retro tiki : www.retrococktail.org

	♥ 9:49am mariano: 'Morning, Handy. You sure the little panthers would let you leave the house? Meanwhile, as you worry about getting too used to being home, I've just ordered myself a bed desk. Soon I'll be like one of the old folks in Willie Wonka.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: Tony Mottola: amazing guitarist!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: The emperor works as the emperor deems meet! Leaving the kittens is actually really hard! K8's been back in schools a couple of days a week and e-mails to check on the kittens frequently. Though I made the mistake of putting laundry in the laundry bag too close to Bugbear the other day and he opened my middle finger from tip to root! The stakes are always high around here!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe, everyone!
	9:53am Bags: Loved that last string of tunes

	🎸 ♥ 10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Dayvid: Ha! I just learned the UK usage of 'jumper' about a year ago. Curiously, from watching a couple travel around the canals on a narrowboat.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Dayvid: Ha, because when you wear them you sweat a lot. :)

	🎸 ♥ 10:10am YETI BOB: Absolute genius
	10:10am Juli: And coffee!
	♥ 10:11am mariano: TDK60: Right? Even when I had a 32-inch waist I didn't like tight clothes. Yet more evidence I was born in the wrong era. Look at how Henry VIII lucked out, being born into an era that knew how to drape men of more ample carriage. Some guys have all the luck, I tells ya.
	10:12am Dayvid: Now I’m curious about the origins of the word myself. 🤔 it is a bit strange when you think about it
	10:12am ACIDCAJUAL88: Vivian would say” Neil wash your body you stupid sod!” It’s the bloody buggery body song!

	10:13am Dayvid: @woodsofnh why are you spying on couple in there boats?! You better watch out, you’ll get arrested for that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Will the Sound Guy: @ACIDCAJUAL88 I was happy I saw Jesus Lizard at Irving Plaza, It was the Dec 9th show in 2017... Yow went crowd surfing right over top of me 2 times... I was standing almost next to Ian MacKaye... It was an amazing show!!! Every song was a banger. The band looked genuinely impressed with how many people were there.
	10:15am Blix: In a better world, Dre and the rest of the 90s rappers would invite Swamp Dog onstage for 2 minutes at the Super Bowl Halftime show.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Fun WFMU Fact: The Jesus Lizard is Thomas Storck's favorite band ever!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am LastWhiteRhino: That is a fun fact !

	♥ 10:16am TDK60: I was in the shower when someone defined Jumper as used by the English. Bouncy platform shoes?

	🎸 ♥ 10:22am YETI BOB: I've heard "jumper" used in the USA too, I don't think it's purely UK usage
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am YETI BOB: especially when referring to kid's clothing
	♥ 10:23am TDK60: Yeti, you're such a patriot.
	♥ 10:23am Phillippe: When I was a kid, my mom referred to a type of dress my sister wore as a jumper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Will the Sound Guy: BTW, Joe you're killin it this morning!!!
	♥ 10:24am mariano: Careful how you use the word "pants" in the UK too, fellow Yanks. And of course "fanny."
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am YETI BOB: TDK60: I'm pretty disillusioned with the USA right now but don't get me started
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Unrelated to the music at hand, but it might interest folks around here to know that I interviewed Harvey Sid Fisher! bostonhassle.com...

	🎸 ♥ 10:25am LastWhiteRhino: Is a romper the same as a jumper???
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, the narrowboat dude said that it was chilly and he had to get out his "chunky jumper"...had no idea what he was talking about.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am karlward: Oh no
	♥ 10:26am Phillippe: @LWR it looks like a jumper in the US is a dress worn over a blouse.
	♥ 10:26am mariano: chunky_jumper sounds like an old AOL handle.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Jonesy, after playing a long set of Meatloaf, addressed the topic of musical snobbery. It was entertaining.

	10:29am Blix: It's well worth your time to look up the recent story in the Irish press telling the story of Meat Loaf's mid-80s rural Ireland tour. Really funny version in Louder.
	10:30am eva: good morning-y’all.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Meat Snob
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Heh. You know, I was not a fan back in the day. Strangely, I kind of enjoyed the set that Jonesy played. Maybe it just makes me remember when I was 17?
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @SyndProd: Yesterday
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gotta duck out for a bit; need some Deep Reading Noise in the background instead....see you all later on the boards!

	🎸 ♥ 10:32am The Oscar: "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" was one of my favorite songs to play on the jukebox at my local pizza place in college. The guys there HATED me.

	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Handy Haversack: There are other timelines?
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am PKNY: So was the "Bat" Overture the B-side to "Paradise" (checking Discogs)? In any event, what a weird edit to put on a 45

	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Handy Haversack: In some timelines, Woods. In some timelines. I know I have heard this before, but I can't place where.
	10:44am Jack: I agree with you in re: leafblowers

	🎸 ♥ 10:47am dday: "Everyone saw the same act that I saw, but then nobody saw it the same way I saw. In my mind this was the genius spoof of Bruce Springsteen that the world so desperately needed. The hyperbolic lyrics about motorcycles & switchblades, the simple triads of the music, the melodrama, the mysterious Svengali at the piano, all fronted not by a hunky denim clad stud but a 250-pound wild man whose head might explode any second. I was sold." Todd Rundgren from the book "The Individualist"

	♥ 11:14am mariano: Oh man, this might be my favorite Belle & Sebastian song.
	11:14am Brendan: Donna originally named it Dim Sum of the Lights, but later elected to go w/ Dim All of the Lights.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: Thanks for all the Ed Ames info. So glad he's still out there with us!
	11:16am paul: Ed will always be Mingo to me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am dday: For some reason I thought Ed Ames was a pro wrestler for a stint in the early 60's. I saw a wrestling show when I was very young with my Dad & brother at the Paterson Armory & for some reason I think he was in the show program
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @paul: I've never seen the Daniel Boone show. Just the show with the other Boone, "Have Gun Will Travel." Paladin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am Handy Haversack: I know "Have Gun Will Travel" mainly from Stand By Me.
	11:20am paul: You're kidding, @Joe!
	11:21am paul: You people are young. :)
	♥ 11:21am chresti: Daniel Boone was a man, he was a greeeaat man.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @paul: Nope, it wasn't in syndication where I grew up. "Gunsmoke" wasn't, either. Saw a lot of "The Big Valley" and "Bonanza," though!
	♥ 11:21am Carmichael: I remember Paladin's business card had a chess piece on it.
	11:23am Brendan: Colloquially known as Dan’l Boone
	11:24am Gerry from Miami: JOE, your playing of that record earlier in your show that was "attributed" to David McCallum, who played a Russian on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.⁸, reminded me that he had a much lengthier stint in the role of British forensic coroner, "Ducky" Mallard, on the huge, long-running series, "NCIS," starring Mark Harmon. Showed no signs of any musical talent on either program.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Gerry: Ha ha. "Ducky" Mallard is an AMAZING name!
	11:27am Joe B: I still refer to mark harmon as "the guy from 'Summer School' "
	♥ 11:27am GR60: That Pneumatic Tubes song had a nice Jack Nitzsche vibe from the Performance soundtrack.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Ken From Hyde Park: What a Cyrillic typewriter looks like: typewriter.boardhost.com...
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @GR60: It's a real nice record, that Pneumatic Tubes record.
	11:31am weiterso: hi, is this country from the future?
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am rx scabin: Excellent track.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am 12539: Dare I say how well this show is going?
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): In an alternate timeline, the pedal steel here would be played by Ted Nugent
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Ken: I love that there's a forum called "Typewriter Talk." Ever see that documentary about the typewriters where Tom Hanks shows off his collection?
	11:33am Brendan: Ethereal steel sounds
	11:34am paul: "Typewriter" is the longest word you can type using only the top row of letters on a typewriter.
	♥ 11:34am Rich in Washington: This is lovely. Cowboy Ambient. My new fave made up genre.
	11:35am Asparagus: I believe this jam is called the Saloon Corner, not Door ;)
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am PaulRobeson1920: Nice Show Joe McG
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Asparagus: Not sure who to believe! Discogs has Corner and Bandcamp has Door. When not having the physical media becomes a pain!
	11:37am prudy: So glad to hear Karen Peris again and looking forward to hearing the complete release...
	11:38am Dayvid: How about we just call it Salon Window then no one gets upset
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dayvid: Salon Dryer
	11:39am paul: Sail on Sailor
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Salon Perm?
	11:40am Dayvid: @Joe mG I’m good with that.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I haven't seen the doc, Joe. Now I'd like to find a forum that discusses what's printed on cars' shift indicators. "Put it in H!"
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Ken: Get busy, Ken, time to start one!
	11:43am TwinDaddy: Tasty tunes this morning Joe. Thanks
	♥ 11:44am Carmichael: I thought this was Natalie Merchant until I looked.
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: Ken: Just learned something new: "That’s what’s known in the automotive world as the “prindle,” the pronunciation that engineers bestowed on the transmission gear selector because it commonly contained the letters PRNDL for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low."
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: @Carm: She actually reminds me a bit of Lucinda Williams. But different.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am karlward: Request for a Radio Row show named PRNDL hosted by YETI BOB and Ken From Hyde Park
	♥ 11:45am nathan: extremely relatable sentiment here, haha
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: I am relating like a mofo here, nathan.
	11:47am Dayvid: I was thinking Lucinda Williams too actually.
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am YETI BOB: karlward: thanks! that sounds like fun.
	11:48am Dayvid: Love you too Lou.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou! Joe, I like how we get an "Oh, fuck!" within about 20 seconds on the first track of this "album."
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am JG: So Joe, this Lou Reed record was released for ten minutes and then it was gone? How would one find this? Is it possible? Thanks
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @JG: I think it's floating around the Internetz, but yeah, it was a copyright dump sort of situation. Great, though!
	♥ 11:51am mariano: Man from UNCLE also has an episode costarring Shatner and Nimoy pre-Trek. It's a great series, I should watch it again.
	11:51am paul: @JG, I looked for it on amazon and was asked "Did you mean Soy Free?"
	♥ 11:53am βrian: Soy libre?
	♥ 11:53am mariano: I think all Lou Reed records after 1970 are soy-free.
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks for the musical journey Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: JG and paul: You will need shadier corners of the internet than Amazon. It was released briefly on Itunes Europe and then removed by RCA just to extend the copyright. Actually, Itunes and Amazon are the shadiest parts of the internet. But reputation plays. Look in deeper places. Thanks, Joe! Just great stuff today. Stay on top, Surfactants!
	11:54am paul: Don't follow this with Oh What a Night. Please.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thank you kindly, Mr McGasko.
	♥ 11:54am βrian: Irene is poised on the cusp, on The Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
